Publisher's Synopsis
In a publishing first, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL GUIDE BUSINESS STYLE AND USAGE, originally written exclusively for the paper's staff, has been expanded and revised for anyone who wants to write well, but especially for the business community.
What is the difference between ' adjusted gross receipts' and 'adjusted gross income'? How about the differences among 'adopt', ' approve', 'enact' and 'pass'? And what the heck is the new name for Andersen Consulting? As the go-to resource for these questions and more, THE WALL STREET GUIDE TO BUSINESS STYLE AND USAGE gives readers a competitive edge for succeeding in the world of business.
