THE GRAPH (II)
A tabular display is 'an array of verbal or numerical information in columns and
rows'. It is most useful in presenting information about two or more related variables for
example, employee salaries for a certain month.
A visual display is 'a diagram that represents several items of information in a manner
that makes comparison easier or reflects trends among the items'. Presenting data visually
in the form of graphs or diagrams makes their meaning clear at a glance.
Tabular displays generally have less impact than visual displays, whose short,
medium, or long bars can be easily picked by the eye. On the other hand, though the data
contained in most two-column tables can be displayed visually, to display the information in a
three-column table, several bar or pie charts would be required. In such a case, the items of
information are easier to compare when they are presented in a table. Also, information
that is to be manipulated is most often displayed in tabular form.
A graph is 'a diagram [chart 'a graphic representation, as by curves, of a dependent
variable, as temperature, price, etc.', plan, or scheme] representing a system of connections
or interrelations among two or more things by a number of distinctive dots, lines, bars,
etc.' In a graph, values are plotted to scale on a set of axes. Graphs are most effective for
presenting information about a single variable that changes with time (see below), and they
tend to emphasise trends as well as peaks and low points in the value of the variable.
Several types of graphs are very much in use in nowadays' management:
two-dimensional graphs,
bar charts, and
pie charts.
They all can 'say' the same things, though they are quite different from a
representational point of view. (After Joseph Chilver, English for Business: A Functional
Approach)
GRAFICUL (II)
O reprezentare tabular este "o serie de informaii verbale sau numerice n coloane i
rnduri". Aceasta se dovedete a fi cea mai util n prezentarea informaiilor cu privire la dou
sau mai multe variabile legate (de exemplu, salariile angajailor pentru o anumit lun).
Un reprezentare vizual este "o diagram care reprezint mai multe informaii ntr-un mod
care face comparaie sau reflect tendinele printre elementele". Prezentarea de date vizual
sub form de grafice sau diagrame face ca sensul acestora s fie clar dintr-o privire.
Afiarea tabelar, n general, are un impact mai mic dect prezentarea grafic, a crei bare
scurte, medii sau lungi poti fi mai uor observate de ctre ochi. Pe de alt parte, dac datele
din cele mai multe tabele cu dou coloane pot fi afiate vizual, pentru a reprezenta
informaiile dintr-un tabel cu trei coloane, diagramele cu bare sau radiale sunt indicate. ntr-un
asemenea caz, informaiile sunt mai uor de comparat atunci cnd acestea sunt prezentate ntrun tabel. De asemenea, informaiile care urmeaz s fie folosite sunt de cele mai multe ori
afiate sub form de tabel.

Un grafic este "o diagrama [diagram" o reprezentare grafic, de curbe, dependent de

o variabil, precum temperatura, preul etc ", planul sau schema] care reprezint un sistem de
conexiuni sau relaii dintre dou sau mai multe lucruri printr-o numrul de puncte distincte,
linii, bare, etc "ntr-un grafic, valorile sunt reprezentate la scar pe un set de axe. Graficele
sunt cele mai eficiente pentru prezentarea informaiilor cu privire la o singur variabil, care
se schimb cu timpul i au rolul de a accentua tendinele, ct limitele minime sau maxime ale
variabilei. n prezent n management sunt utilizate frecvent::
grafice bidimensionale,
grafice cu bare, i
grafice plcint.
Toate acestea pot spune aceleai lucruri, dei sunt destul de diferite din punct de
vedere reprezentaional.
