5. Forman, Janis. (1993). Business communication and composition: The writing connection and beyond. Journal of Business Communication 30.3, 313-352.

Annotation: This article considers business communication's current and potential borrowing from composition studies as well as the constraints on such borrowing. It uses a citation analysis and a study of the arguments in business communication articles published in The Journal of Business Communication to identify the current state of composition's impact on research in business writing. After exploring the factors that may impede additional borrowing from composition, it discusses three major areas of composition studies that may profitably influence research in business communication: the historical and theoretical study of composition as a discipline, multicultural and literacy studies, and contemporary critical and social theory.

Annotation: Teaching of writing is the province of the writing teacher--of course. But ABCA President Knapper believes that if colleges and universities are to teach writing effectively, teachers of all subject matters will need to get in on that act. Writing is not a one-shot subject that can be handled in the confines of a single course, but must be stressed over and over again in a student's college career. And this cannot be done without a shared commitment and a shared responsibility on the part of the entire facutly. [journal abstract]
