The Difference Between Academic Writing And Business Writing

• Academic writing is formal, often using the third person and passive voice. Business writing is less formal, more direct and concise, using active voice.
• Long sentences are fine in academic writing, but they are very cumbersome in business writing.
• Students need to show a wide vocabulary so they use complex words and long sentences. Business writers must get their ideas across quickly, so they use simple words and short sentences.
