“Utility-oriented texts” – sounds pretty technical. It is - but only at first glance. This article, itself a representative of its type of text, shows briefly and precisely: What are utility-oriented texts and what are they not? And how do you write them in terms of research, introduction, structure, text elements and Style?
Precise, concrete, understandable: utility-oriented texts
Value-oriented texts? Sounds a bit like a technical manual: “Work instruction B for process 569 in the third run…” - or something like that.

But many authors might not feel that way at first easy fall to write value-oriented. That's because most people are used to a completely different type of writing - depending on whether they come from journalism or literature, for example. So it's time to get used to it. Both in terms of style and content as well as the demands on the reader. That was also the case with me.
