According to Medina (2006), introduction is the attention grabbing methods, usually the first paragraph of the writing which just gives the frame work of the subject matter. Whereas, overview, as from its name suggests the overall viewing of any subject matter. In another words, the comprehensive summary of any subject matter, the broader yet concise version of the topic or the short description of all the parts of the content is known as the overview. Bell & Smith (2006), in their book Marketing Communication, an overview the torch light for the path which shows the path ahead with all detailed data and facts about the subject which helps readers to understand what all is about.
For instance, if I ask my friend for the introduction of his organization, then his explanation with company’s name, establishment date, and what the purpose of their establishment etc. would be introduction; whereas, overview of his organization, would be about their history, inception, goals, and impacts, working areas, partners, team members and strategic plans of the coming years. This overview is a detailed and richer part of a managerial communication than the introduction.
An overview is preferable to an introduction because of the following points listed below:
It introduces terms, theories and concepts that have been referred for the content inside the report or article.
It is the overall short version or form of the report so it helps saving the time as reader can just go through it and knows about the essential information from it and helps readers to know whole report in short summary.
It is in-depth writing about the report or article.
It helps readers to understand about the context and environment where and how the article is written and what references or what topics are covered in the article or report.
It is the complete guide and complete communicable information in detailed structure in short form while introduction is limited to introducing the subject matters and doesn’t give readers an idea about the detailed structure of the content, which makes an overview preferable to an introduction.
