In this important MBA text the authors adopt a highly integrated
approach. Using the three conceptual lenses of power, meaning and
design they explore fully the many different ways in which
technology and organizations interact. They highlight the major
debates within these competing perspectives and argue that the flow
of knowledge and ideas within and between organizations is crucial
in shaping technologies and organizations alike.
Many employers complain about the poor communication skills of many
young people seeking employment; and many people in employment are
handicapped by the poor quality of their written work. While bad
spelling, ineffective punctuation and faults in grammar create
barriers between the writer and the reader, good English makes the
reader feel at ease. The benefits of being a good writer at work
are: Managers need to be able to communicate in order to get ideas
across. If they cannot, they will be unable to make their viewpoint
heard and they will be unable to influence customers, suppliers and
colleagues as desired If you can write well, you will find that
your views are given prominence over those of others. Effective
communication, and that includes writing, is the key to career
success and advancement This book is for those who have difficulty
in getting thoughts into words or their ideas across, as well as
those who are satisfied with their writing but are ready to
consider the possibility of improving it. It is all about the ways
in which writing at work is important - helping the reader to
observe, remember, think, plan, organise and communicate.
