    Business writing and technical writing are two common styles used in professional settings. While there is some overlap, they differ primarily in their subject matter. Technical writing focuses on science, engineering, and technology topics and produces documents like specifications, manuals, and research papers. Business writing covers a broader range of topics used in workplace communication beyond journalism or creative writing, such as reports, proposals, meeting minutes, and business cases. Both styles may contain some technical or business elements, depending on the intended audience and purpose of the document.

    Writing.

    WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

    The simple answer is that we define technical and business writing by their subject matter.

    Technical writing deals with science, engineering and technology. Typical documents include
    specifications, manuals, data sheets, research papers, field reports and release notes.

    Business writing is just about any other kind of writing people do at work, except journalism and
    creative writing. It includes reports, emails, proposals, white papers, minutes, business cases,
    letters, copywriting, bids and tenders.

    However, there is some crossover. Many reports, bids and proposals contain technical data and
    specifications. So business writers may find themselves editing technical content, and technical
    writers may be called upon to write persuasive documents for a non-technical audience.

    What is Business Report or, Definition of Business Report, Meaning of


    Business Report-When a report is written for business purpose, it is called
    business report. It is a little bit different from other reports. It deals with
    business related information. A business report is prepared containing business
    related information that assists the management to take better decisions.
    What is Business Report
     According to Lesikar and Petit, “A business report is an orderly,
    objective communication of factual information that serves some
    business purpose.”
     Boone and Other said, “A business report is a document that
    organizes information and a specific topic for a specific business
    purpose.”
     According to Murphy and Hildebrandt, “A business report is an
    impartial, objective, planned presentation of a fact to one or more
    persons for a specific, significant business purpose.”

    So, a business report can be defined as an organized, written statement of


    facts related to specific business matter. It helps the interested persons to get
    insight into the problem and to overcome the problem.

    From the above discussion it is found that business report has some unique
    characteristics. Its helps the respective business people to take pragmatic
    decisions in specific business areas.
    No matter your job, you need to be able to write. Whether it’s quarterly financial reports or daily
    safety records, writing is a common and crucial skill. Yet, the writing style of one field can be
    different and potentially inappropriate for another.

    Two important and popular writing styles are technical writing and business writing.

    You might see one or the other (or both!) listed in job postings, style guides or report requests. And
    you may be wondering: aren’t they the same?

    The short answer is yes and no. While the two techniques have similarities and overlap, one is not
    interchangeable with the other. They each have their own style, benefits, and roles to play. How do
    you know if you’re choosing the right style? This article will outline how the two styles align, diverge,
    and a handy question to check your text.

    Business writing is very reader-focused, as is technical writing. However, business writing ranges
    from interpersonal to information to technical. Technical writing and business writing overlap when a
    business person needs to convey technical information. An email from human resources that
    introduces a new employee is not technical writing. A highly technical report from a field geologist is
    technical writing.
