Managers as Writers

A Metanalysis of Research in Context

LARRY R. SMELTZER

GAIL FANN THOMAS

Naval Postgraduate School

The argument is presented that managerial writing is performed within a unique context; consequently, it is important to review the extant research within that context to understand managerial writing. The literature is reviewed within the framework of writing context, process, and outcome. The paucity of research and the heavy emphasis on survey methodology expose the need for extensive research on managerial writing. Six general research questions are presented to guide future research efforts.
