...Chapter One Introdution: Fundamentals of Business Writing I. The major differences between school writing and business writing School writing, typically in the form of essays, is aimed at impressing the audience, i.e. examiners. To score high, student writers have to use fairly complicated vocabulary and sentences in their written work. Business writers, however, mainly aim to communicate information to their colleagues, clients, and other associated parties. They are relatively free to use what language that can get the business done efficiently and effectively. II. Seven steps in the process of wring 1. clarifying your aim 2. identifying your readers 3. making a general plan 4. sketching a synopsis (大纲) 5. drafting your text 6. putting the draft aside 7. revising and editing ★ Writing is a recursive and creative process. The detailed plan is not adhered to in actual writing. Writers frequently come up with ideas that are activated in the process of writing. Writers read the text they have already produced to help generate more ideas. In effect, the writing process is no linear at all but is characterized by recursive ness and creativeness. III. Three principles of business writing 1. Clarity – means setting your message across clearly. (See detailed information on page 4) 2. Consideration – good business writers take their readers’ needs, problems, and reactions to the writing into consideration. And they...

...Executive Case Summary – Case 3-3 Rendell Company Fitria Noviati / MM UGM International Class Case 3-3: Rendell Company Rendell Company that had been operating a profitable business for 50 years, but experienced a considerable slowed growth during the 1970s. Rendell hired its first controller in 1980 to address this exact problem. Rendell had seven divisions, with each division responsible for the manufacturing and marketing of their line of products. A controller was assigned to each of the seven divisions, and they reported to the general manager of their respective division. Frank Bevins, Rendell’s corporate controller, was concerned about the organizational status of his divisional controllers, as they do not report directly to him. Consequently, the company was experiencing difficulties in implementing its modern control techniques due to the strained relationship between the corporate controller and the divisional controllers. Problem Identification The primary problem faced by Frank Bevins was that he felt he was not obtaining adequate information from the divisional controllers regarding the divisions’ budget and performance reporting. He suspected that it was due to the fact that the divisional controllers reported to their respective division’s general manager. The controllers’ primary loyalty was therefore to their division’s general manager, hence a biased report to the corporate controller. Bevins was facing a dilemma of whether or not Rendell should ...

... receive a minimal benefit as report complexity has continued to increase which in most cases lead to higher processing costs. Arthur Levitt, former SEC chairman has said that “In many cases, the problem is not a lack of information; it is actually quite the opposite. To much information can be as much of a problem as to little and more disclosure does not always mean better disclosure.” More information and disclosure, especially to small investors is seen as a negative attribute as it once again comes back to higher processing costs from resources they do not have. This makes it rather difficult for small investors to make an informed investment decision surrounding the filing date of a company’s 10-k. Hypotheses Brian Miller derived two hypotheses, with one consisting of an A & B format surrounding the effects of reporting complexity on small and large investors in order to guide his research. The first hypothesis H1(a) is Total abnormal trading around a 10-K is lower when reports are more complex. Mr. Miller stated that if reports become complex (based on the length & readability), forecasting the profitability and sustainability of future growth from these reports becomes difficult. Investors in this case may simply choose not to invest in companies that produce such complex 10-k reports, which would ultimately lead to a lower abnormal trading volume. H1(b) states that The effects of report complexity on abnormal trading ...

...Kelly Sustainable Class 10, 13902235 BABC Assessment 1:Source review In the article ‘Integrated and GRI Reporting’, NACD (2013) examines two effective ways of GRI and integrated reporting frameworks to disclose sustainability performance, which enable companies to focus on the creation of value over the long term. The article is relevant to the main drivers associated with sustainability reporting. Nevertheless, its relevant is limited to considering the key features of an effective sustainability report. In addition, the author dose not provides sufficient details to explain, develop, and support his position, which is related to six main categories. Despite such limitations, generally it is a relative objective source, which is appropriate for an academic business context. The article is partially relevant to the assessment task, which analyze the motivations that lead companies to engage in Global Reporting initiative (GRI) reporting. NACD (2013) points out existing regulations and related rules such as the conflict minerals already require some disclosure of sustainability information indicating how key business processes are performing. However, the paper contains Principles in order to ensure the quality of reported information NACD (2013), which is not clearly related to the key elements of an effective sustainability report. While the authors focus on the main drivers associated with sustainability reporting is relevant to the assessment task, it is also a limitation of...

...Human resources management Report Human resources management Report Executive Summary This HR comparative report has been written in order to analyse the different HR policies applied in two opposed companies. The two companies in question are Velay Bernard which acts in the tertiary industrial sector and Go Sport whose main activities are located in the sports items distribution market. At Velay Bernard, a lot of the workers are temporary workers and recruited by a temporary Agency called Randstad. So their principal motivation is their salary and bonuses at the end of the month. Working conditions and relations at work are quite good due to an open space workshop and a friendly working atmosphere. At Go Sport, a majority of workers signed a fixed term contract and where recruited thanks to the classical recruitment process CV+Cover Letter+Interview. Getting a permanent contract and working its way up in the hierarchy is one of the main motivations employees have. Non flexible working conditions are compensated by a good team spirit within the staff.

...In taking the AI class this winter, there were many things that I learned that benefit me now and will benefit me in the future when I plan to take over the family operation. The most important thing that will benefit me is the proper way to prepare the semen for breeding. Even though I have experience in semen preparation, there were two major things that could play a huge role in the production of my herd. Prior to the class, I would flick the top of straw of semen to get all the semen to settle towards the bottom of the straw. Flicking the straw could break off the tails of the semen and affect the ability of the semen to fertilize an egg. This class taught me a downward spiraling motion to get the semen out of the clamped end of the straw. Changing this little thing could increase the probability of fertilization in every single cow that is bred. In the future, I will have a higher conception rate just because of this one little thing. The other thing I learned in preparing semen is to use AI tweezers to pull the straw of semen out of the container. Every time you touch...

...In this article ’INTEGRATED REPORTING TO PRACTICE From Concept To Practice’, Busco (2014) argues the benefits of integrated reporting and attracts company to use integrated reporting. This article has limited relevance on the the BABC001 Report Question only about the definition and purpose of integrated reporting. However, this article is reliable because this article uses academic language and uses the evidence from IIRC(International Integrated Reporting Council). In addition, this article is wrote in 2014 and still has useful information now. Therefore, this article is reliable and can be used as an academic resource. This article has limited relevance about the BABC001 Report Question. The definition of IR and the purpose of IR, which is to enhance accountability and stewardship and to make sustainable value creation for stakeholders(Busco, 2014, p.32) are the answer to BABC001 Report 1a and 1b. However, this principle of IR is not clear and specific. Therefore, the answer to BABC001 Report Question 2a and 2b are hard to find and little description. Moreover, the BABC001 Report Question 3 which is the evaluation of companies by using principle is not exist. Therefore, this article is not focus on the BABC001 Reporting Question and has limited relevance in this article about the BABC001 Reporting Question. The source is wrote fully support evidence and therefore objective. Busco (2014) argues the way IR framework to help to assist organization with IR process are using...

...realize that this also meant that management could use the system information to make highly educated business decisions. Which would you rather have to make an important decision: a report which was compiled over a week with information from last month’s sales, or a report which was built a few minutes ago, using the company’s up to the minute SAP database? There are many different ways to form useful reports with SAP. The most common is to run one of the many preconfigured reports which come with the system. If the preconfigured reports do not show you what you wish to see, you have the option of creating custom reports using two methods: Report Painter and Report Writer. Report Painter is the easier of the two. The Report Painter tool sets up a report template for you. All you have to do is decide what information you want to see, and enter the appropriate key figures and characteristics in the blank report template. Report Writer is much more difficult, and is usually only used by specialists. Report Writer involves the building of every aspect of the report, and requires an in-depth knowledge of database structures (specifically info cubes). In this tutorial we will be sticking with the use of the preconfigured reports. As a manager, you will most likely be using either these reports, or...

...As the director of a local television station I have two breaking news stories to share with our viewers. I have decided to report about the vote of the city council to close the city parks three days a week to save money. The second story we will report on will be the death of a celebrity. I decided to go with the council vote as my lead story because of the impact it has on the local population. Closing down the parks for three days will force the parents to find alternative places for their children to play. In today’s society children recreation is defined by Xbox, Wii and PlayStation. With rise of obesity among our children limiting the availability of the parks for the sake of money is poor politics. The city council should reconvene to find new approaches to saving money besides closing city parks. One submission is that we as a local television station can help promote a fund-raiser for the sole purpose of raising fund to keep the parks open for one or three of the days. Reporting on the death of a celebrity does not have the local concern of effect of the city parks story. Another reason I have chosen to make this my secondary story is that this story will possibly be reported on a larger media outlet. As a local television media we believe committed to our hometown citizens should be focus. Also putting the celebrity’s death second still keep our local informed of national news. By us reporting about the death of the actor will still maintain...

...9 Formal Reports and Proposals he distinctions between formal and informal reports are often blurred. Nevertheless, a formal report is usually written to someone in another company or organization. Occasionally it is written for a senior manager in the same company, or for someone with whom the writer has little regular contact. Usually it is longer than an informal report and requires more extensive research. Unless you are a consultant, you are unlikely to be asked to write a formal report often. When you are, there may be a lot riding on it— including your reputation. The purpose of this chapter is to show you how to write a formal report and how to put together the kind of proposal that often precedes it. As Figure 9-1 shows, many of the elements of formal reports are the same as those for informal ones.You need to pay the same attention to headings, lists, and illustrations, for example. Although much of the advice in the previous chapter could be duplicated in this one, the emphasis here will be on those areas where there’s a difference. T Figure 9-1 Contrasting Features of Informal and Formal Reports Informal Formal Reader often internal often external or distant within organization Length • usually short • several sections • usually long (3 pages or more) • sections and subsections Tone • personal • contractions • more impersonal • no contractions Summary integrated on separate page Introduction ...
