Abstract:

It is no secret that businesses around the world need to compete globally in order to survive. What is a secret is that technical communicators in every country in the world are untrained to deal with the issues, deadlines, standards, and quality measures necessary to address the needs of global businesses. This paper offers some ideas and justification for a curriculuum in international technical communication.
