Case 1: Going Global
Case 2: Counting Costs
Case 3: Desperately Seeking Tools
Case 4: Managing the Translation Process
Thank you to everyone who submitted case studies to me!
I am always looking for new cases to add. Please contact me to talk about your case study. |
Here are four case studies in international technical communication that I've used as teaching tools in my course World-Ready Information Products. These are real and current case studies, although I have altered some facts and added others to disguise the companies and focus the cases a bit more. I include suggested solutions to Case 3 and Case 4, courtesy of professional technical communicators who attended my post-conference workshop at the annual Society for Technical Communication (STC) conference in May 1997, Toronto, Canada. The opinions expressed are those of the workshop partipants. They do not necessarily reflect the opinions, policy, or attitude of the Society for Technical Communication.

I recently contributed a case study entitled "Communicating the Risks of Natural Hazards: The World-At-Large Is At Stake" to an upcoming book, Global Documentation: Case Studies in International Technical Communication. The case includes a background analysis, discussion questions, assignments, supplemental reading, links to relevant Web sites, and email links to subject matter experts. I intend to maintain the Web version of this case study. You are invited to use this case study to explore additional aspects of international technical communication.
