The Effect of High-Impact Writing on Decision Making Within a Public Sector Bureaucracy.
Suchan, Jim
Journal of Business Communication, v35 n3 p299-327 Jul 1998
Finds that respondents (working in a medium-sized federal government agency) reading high-impact reports did not make significantly better decisions than those reading bureaucratic reports. Shows that context factors (perceived work roles, job design, organizational structure, report genre expectations, and organizational language norms) caused readers to perceive the high-impact reports as abnormal discourse, deflecting their attention from report content.
