Technology is increasingly shaping and changing business. The notion of change continues to flourish and is multinational in scale. Zane K. Quible's 7th edition of Administrative Office Management: An Introduction focuses on what office managers actually do on the job. Today, managers in companies are most concerned with effective means of assuring their survival. Quible, of Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, updated his book to include technological advances, which are changing every day. Executives and managers must keep up with technology in order to survive. The book is written in an easy‐to‐read style with illustrations and other aids throughout. Quible's intention is to introduce administrative office management functions as the process of planning, organizing, and controlling all the information‐related activities of an organization, as well as the function of leading or directing people to attain the objectives of that organization. His book emphasizes theoretical concepts involving the systems approach to the management of people, resources, and information and provides practical applications.
This article reports a quasi-experimental study of how error labeling in remediation exercises affects students’ writing performance. Students in five sections of a course in written business communication composed the control group, whereas students in two sections composed the treatment group. On the first letter each group wrote early in the semester—before the treatment group began error labeling in remediation exercises—no significant differences were found in the writing performance of both groups. However, on their last letter written late in the semester, studentsin the treatment group significantly reduced the number of sentence-level errors they made, compared to students in the control group. The improved writing performance of the treatment group is attributed to error labeling in conjunction with error correction in the remediation exercises.
