Making Meaningful Connections and Learning Workplace-Like Business Writing through LinkedIn and Blogging
Sharma, Daneshwar
Business and Professional Communication Quarterly, v85 n3 p298-318 Sep 2022
Business writing has been a desired skill in managers. The existing traditional business writing assessment tools like written examination and hand-in assignments based on genre-specific instructions do not create a workplace writing environment. The business management students (n = 98) engage with an innovative Web 2.0-based business writing tool using blogging and LinkedIn. The findings show that the tool created a workplace-like context, a meaningful purpose, and a real audience for the students. The students make and build relationships in the professional community using their business writing. The challenges and recommendations for BPC faculty are discussed.
