In a nutshell, collaborative business writing is simply a piece of communication  or business writing  that is created by a team of people.  Once each team member has provided their input  an  editor  is appointed from the group to collate the final product.   Among the useful tips you will learn on this course are the methods and strategies used in collaborative business writing  such as the sequential method and the integrated method.  Since the focus of this course is collaboration,  working effectively as a team is strongly emphasized  where  tasks such as collaborative revision  and team cohesion come to the fore.
