520 | _a"Successful professional communication depends on more than simply completing a logbook or correctly formatting a memo. To communicate effectively, both in general and in the technical professions specifically, it is necessary to understand the politics of interaction in the workplace, and to explore the impact on professional communication of such issues as language use, style, situation, power dynamics, face, ethics, leadership, and technology. Readings for Technical Communication highlights these keys to successful communication. A collection of thought-provoking essays by both theorists and practitioners, it encourages students to see professional and technical communication as an engaged human process that is shaped and constrained not just by content and format but also by a wide range of additional considerations, from personal credibility, interpersonal sensitivities, and relational history to ethical challenges, organizational expectations, and political manoeuvring. | ||
