Chapter Summary

Information is disseminated in the workplace in many formats. Reports, which are detailed, formal accounts of events or projects, are one of the most common workplace formats. Convention, seminar, or meeting reports give detailed accounts of everything that took place during an event. Shareholder reports provide information and answers, such as financial information and current projects, to members of the public who are invested in the company. Status reports provide details on the status of specific projects to individuals not directly involved with the project.

There are several careers that focus on information management, including grant writing, human resource management, Web site design and support, medicine, emerging technologies, research and fact-checking, and colleges and university careers.
