NASA/DoD Aerospace Knowledge Diffusion Research Project. Report Number 2. Technical Communications in Aerospace: Results of Phase 1 Pilot Study. An Analysis of Managers' and Nonmanagers' Responses

Abstract

Data collected from an exploratory study concerned with the technical communications practices of aerospace engineers and scientists were analyzed to test the primary assumption that aerospace managers and non-managers have different technical communications practices. Five assumptions were established for the analysis. Aerospace managers and nonmanagers were found to have different technical communications practices for three of the five assumptions tested. Although aerospace managers and nonmanagers were found to have different technical communications practices, the evidence was neither conclusive nor compelling that the presumption of difference in practices could be attributed to the duties performed by aerospace managers and nonmanagers.
