Word Processing and Its Implications for Business Communications Courses

Leonard B. Kruk

Montclair State College

This article explores the role of Word Processing in the office today. Seventy-five percent of the dictation which comes into most Word Proces sing Centers is in handwritten form. The reason for this is the reluctance on the part of the executive to use a dictating machine. Since machine dic tation is four times faster than handwritten input, cost benefits are not being realized. The author's premise is that future executives should be taught how to machine dictate. The course which is most suitable for this type o f instruction is the Business Communications Course.
