Thesis (Educat.D.)--University of Arkansas, 1982.

This study was designed to determine if there are any differences between actual report writing practices of businesses and report writing techniques presented in collegiate textbooks; and to determine if there are significant differences in the opinions of business writers and educators relative to what each considers to be an effective report. Four specific questions, as discussed below, were addressed.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study was designed to determine if there are any differences between actual report writing practices of businesses and report writing techniques presented in collegiate textbooks; and to determine if there are significant differences in the opinions of business writers and educators relative to what each considers to be an effective report. Four specific questions, as discussed below, were addressed.
520 $a Twenty business reports collected from a random sampling of Fortune 500 companies were analyzed using thirteen criteria developed from a study of twelve report writing textbooks:
520 $a Directional flow Methods of data collection
520 $a Documentation General typographical format
520 $a Length Body
520 $a Readability level Terminal section
520 $a Prefatory parts Supplemental parts
520 $a Introductory parts Graphics
520 $a Grammatical accuracy
520 $a In addition, each report was sent to two readers in business and two in education for their evaluation of its clarity, completeness, conciseness, appearance, appropriateness for reading audience, and overall effectiveness.
520 $a Relative to Question Number 1 of the study, the general conclusion was that there is little disagreement between the format and mechanical parts recommended in textbooks and that used in actual business reports. However, there was significant variation in format to warrant close examination by educators and business writers, and to suggest that a substantial degree of flexibility be allowed students of report writing.
520 $a The findings resulting from Question Number 2 indicate that there is no significant difference in the way the two sets of readers perceive the quality factors of clarity, completeness, conciseness, appearance, appropriateness for reading audience, nor the overall effectiveness of a business report.
520 $a Although not statistically significant, the data addressing Question Number 3 indicated a slight positive relationship between directional flow and readability level, with those reports moving upward showing a slightly higher median readability score than those moving downward.
520 $a While no statistically significant relationship were established in answer to Question Number 4, there were some suggestions of tendencies toward significant relationships between the effectiveness of a business report and its length, readability level, use of headings, organizational approach, use of graphics, and correct use of grammar.
