Please do not copy and post questions with answers

1. What information might go into routine operational reports for different kinds of organizations? Explain why an organization, or an organization that you work for would need this information regularly?

 

2.Argue either for or against this statement and be sure to defend your reasoning. “Reports are written for business executives who want them. Thus, you don’t have to be concerned about holding your reader’s interest.”

 

3.The CEO of a large business organization has asked you and your classmates to review a long, formal report and prepare an executive summary.  Some of your classmates are not familiar with an executive summary, and will need to be more knowledgeable to help prepare an executive summary.  First, what is an executive summary and what would you include in this summary.  Further explain to your classmates, why is an executive summary  important to this busy executive?  You are encouraged to include a researched source.  For example, an article written by John Clayton (2003) entitled Crafting a Powerful Executive Summary, may provide helpful tips.  This article can be retrieved from the Harvard Business School Working Knowledge archive at  http://hbswk.hbs.edu/archieve/3660.htm.
