What is business etiquette? Why it is necessary in writing?

Business etiquette is the set of rules by which you conduct business. Essentially, it is a common language, a standard code of behavior, which when adopted, becomes standard practice in a community, enabling that community to function smoothly, without as many bumps or misunderstandings. In business interactions, this facilitates a professional standard of conduct that each business has in common with the other businesses.

Researching on any topic is a very critical step before writing. Your sources need to be reliable and widely accepted. Before you identify and develop your topic, you should find the context and background information on your topic.

This can be done by referring to books, articles, journals, news sources, and magazines. People nowadays use video and sound recordings too. The following steps will help you to –

·    Note the important and relevant details.

·    Evaluate each point against the topic and purpose of your document.

·    Record the details of resource and reference (i.e. author, title and publishing).

·    Arrange content in a logical order under appropriate headings and sub-headings.

Knowing the audience pulse before you are writing the document will give a lot of support in deciding on the content and approach. In case you are not aware of the audience, you can write keeping in mind the demographic, i.e. the target group for your write-up, as online article writers or bloggers do Before you begin to write, try to understand always what your reason of writing is.
