Customer Reviews:
Very useful!.......2007-09-03
I love this book. I use it weekly, and most of my employees come to my office to use it as a reference. The letters are a great starting point to customize to your business, as well as excellent in and of themselves. I would recommend this to any administrative assistant or manager.
May I give back!.......2000-08-02
The cover page is very attractive but in reality the content is not so useful. First of all, there is only one example in each page. I think this is wastage of empty places. Secondly, there are very little examples for each topic. In short, I was waiting different sentences for every situation for example In Order Topic - Ordering: example sentences for introduction, development and conclusion; Order Confirmation: example sentences for introduction, development and conclusion.... But I couldn't find this in this book.
Great book for anyone with an attitude problem........1999-01-14
I mistakenly assumed all business reference guides provided, above all else, a professional format. Unfortunately, that is not the case with Muckian & Woods' Business Letter Handbook. Particularly, I was disappointed in the model letters, to say the least. I would be embarrassed to have written the letter in the complaint section. Honestly, who would begin a letter, "Am I wrong or isn't it your responsibility..."? (Mind you, I've already returned the book for credit and this quote is taken from memory, so I apologize for any miswording.) And since when is it professional to interject cute phrases like, "But seriously..." or "Just kidding..." in a congratulatory letter? What business person would write like this in a real situation? Were Muckian & Woods bored with formal business writing and wanted to loosen up all of us stuffed shirts? Maybe next time I need guidance on business letter writing, I'll call Jerry Seinfeld. He's not doing much these days.

Customer Reviews:
An efficient tool.......2005-10-01
I browsed through this book very briefly at a local book sale. It seemed like it could be a very efficient memo creating tool and I was very tempted to buy it. However, I finally did not pick it up because I felt a CD containing all the memos would be more productive right away.
Nevertheless, it seems like a useful book to have a manager's desk.

Book Description
Most scientists, engineers, and other professionals in technical fields are quite comfortable using their analytical skills and carrying out the most detail-oriented research. Yet when it comes to communicating highly technical information to others in a manner that is both clear and concise, even the best minds are often at a loss.
Model Letters and Memos: A Handbook for Scientists and Engineers shows technically oriented individuals how to communicate their ideas clearly to a wide range of audiences. The author uses two distinct formulas to help compose all kinds of effective, lucidly written correspondence.
The first formula is a four-step process called "AIDA," which stands for Attention, Interest, Desire, and Action. This formula enables busy professionals to organize their thoughts and communicate them clearly, directly, and accurately.
The second formula covered in the book, "IBC," or Introduction, Body, and Conclusion, shows how to break down every memo into its three most important parts. Step-by-step and with specific examples, the author illustrates how to set up an introduction, communicate the desired information, and develop a conclusion.
In addition to these formulas, you'll learn how to: avoid the common pitfalls of writing letters and memos; make correspondence more effective; make lengthy documents more readable; and virtually guarantee that a recipient will read and understand the basic message.
You'll also find two chapters of boilerplate letters and memos on more than 125 different subjects, all written by technical professionals who are also accomplished writers and communicators. Because they can easily be used as templates for crafting similar communications, these sample letters are included on the computer disk accompanying the text.
For any technical professional who needs to communicate in writing clearly, quickly, and accurately, Model Letters and Memos: A Handbook for Scientists and Engineers is an indispensable, time-saving resource.
An invaluable resource for technical professionals who want to communicate their ideas quickly and effectively
Model Letters and Memos: A Handbook for Scientists and Engineers takes the struggle out of the writing process by demonstrating how to put any kind of information, no matter how technical, into a form that can be easily read and understood.
This practical, time-saving guide shows you how to:
- Structure an effective letter/memo
- Create and maintain interest in your correspondence
- Elicit the desired response from your reader
- Make a lengthy document more readable
- Avoid the ten most common mistakes letter/memo writers make
This indispensable resource also offers nearly 200 examples of effective technical letters and memos and an accompanying computer disk that includes all the letters and memos in the text for easy and immediate application.

Book Description
Throughout the 1980s, the British Civil Service made enormous efforts towards developing indicators to measure the performance of government.
How Organisations Measure Success analyzes these methods from their origins in the 1960s to their revival in the 1980s.
Neil Carter, Rudolf Klein and Patricia Day predict that this trend--with its emphasis on accountability and performance--is likely to continue in the future as government continues to delegate activities to agencies and as it looks for methods to assess their performance.
How Organisations Measure Success also provides a comprehensive examination of the natural history of performance indicators across a variety of government departments, public agencies and private businesses. The findings illuminate problems of both design and implementation and highlight other issues including the implications of performance indicators for democratic accountability.

Book Description
This digital document is a journal article from Structural Change and Economic Dynamics, published by Elsevier in . The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.
Description:
This paper documents the comparative productivity performance of the United States and Britain since 1870, showing the importance of developments in services. We identify the transition in market services from customised, low-volume, high-margin business organised on a network basis to standardised, high-volume, low-margin business with hierarchical management, as a key factor. A model of the interaction between technology, organisation and economic performance is then provided, focusing on the transition from networks to hierarchies. Four general lessons are drawn: (1) developments in services must be analysed if the major changes in comparative productivity performance among nations are to be understood fully; (2) different technologies and organisational forms can co-exist efficiently; (3) technological change can cause difficulties of adjustment in technology-using sectors if it is not suited to the social capabilities of the society; (4) reversal of technological trends can lead to reversal of comparative productivity performance.
Book Description
This book is designed for human resources managers and directors of personnel who are concerned with labor productivity. It gives benchmarks and gap analyses used to gauge a company's performance vis--vis firms competing firms in the same sector, at the global level. In particular, this report covers HELLENIC TELECOM ORGANISATION, MAROUSSI 151 81, GREECE. With the globalization of markets, greater foreign competition, and the reduction of entry barriers, it becomes all the more important to benchmark a company's performance against other firms on a worldwide basis. Doing so, however, is not an obvious task. First, one needs to find firms competing in the same sector. Second, one needs to control for exchange rate volatility. Finally, one needs use comparable financial standards. This report overcomes these issues and gives full human resources benchmarks vis--vis worldwide competitors who are present in the same narrow industrial classification. Benchmarks cover labor-asset ratios, labor-liability ratios, and labor-income ratios. Since our reports are printed on demand, the figures available are for the latest quarter and are the most up to date available (4 updates are produced each year).
