Abstract
This study was undertaken to obtain feedback from former students of business communication.

Returns indicated that these respondents write regularly on the job (79 percent); they believe that ability to write well is important to success (89 percent); and they believe written communication should be taught because little writing is required in other courses, and well-written communication may be the only avenue to recognition for a new employee.
