Including examples of qualitative methodologies--including ethnography, case study, focus groups, action research, grounded theory, and interview research-- used by technical communicators to strengthen their practice, the result is a rich harmony of perspectives, as diverse as the field of technical communication itself.This book will be of interest to to students and academics seeking up-to-date information on current industry practices in technical communication, as well as to practitioners in technical and professional communication.
