Writing in business
Communication, especially writing, is central to the business world. Because business writers generally aim to persuade or inform their audiences, they place a premium on clarity, brevity, and focus.
Business writers always take into account their audiences. They generally use a formal tone when writing for clients or prospective clients, and they often use a slightly less formal tone for their colleagues or co-workers. In all situations, business writers avoid complex metaphors and elaborate language; they also avoid slang and colloquial language.
