...An executive summary, sometimes known as a management summary, is a short document or section of a document, produced for purposes, that summarizes a longer report or proposal or a group of r business elated reports in such a way that readers can rapidly become acquainted with a large body of material without having to read it all. It usually contains a brief statement of the problem or proposal covered in the major document(s), background information, concise analysis and main conclusions. It is intended as an aid to decision-making by managers[1][2] and has been described as possibly the most important part of a business plan.[3] They must be short and to the point. An executive summary differs from an abstract in that an abstract will usually be shorter and is intended to provide a neutral overview or orientation rather than being a condensed version of the full document. Abstracts are extensively used in academic research where the concept of the executive summary would be meaningless. "An abstract is a brief summarizing statement... read by parties who are trying to decide whether or not to read the main document", while "an executive summary, unlike an abstract, is a document in miniature that may be read in place of the longer document".[4] An executive summary differs from an abstract in that an abstract will usually be shorter and is intended to provide a neutral overview or orientation rather than being a condensed version of the full document.

...Executive Summary The purpose of an executive summary is to summarize a report. Executive summaries are written for executives who most likely do not have time to read the complete document. Therefore, the executive summary must cover the major points and be detailed enough to mirror the content yet concise enough for an executive to understand the substance without reading the entire report. An executive summary differs from an abstract. Readers use an abstract to decide whether to read the complete document. They read an executive summary to obtain information without having to read the report in full. The executive summary should be written as a document that can stand on its own and is usually written on one or two pages, depending on the length of the report. It restates the purpose of the report and describes any results, conclusions, or recommendations made in the report so that the reader understands the reasons for the conclusion or recommendations. Acronyms, symbols, and abbreviations must be written out. Tables and figures in the report should not be referred to by number in the executive summary. The audience for an executive summary is receptive to the message, so the writer should assume that the audience wants to know and understand the message. It is written in a formal tone using an impersonal style and eliminating first person pronouns (I, we, our, etc.). Use the following guidelines when writing an executive summary: • • • • • State clearly the purpose of the...

...Good and poor examples of executive summaries This is a GOOD example from an Accounting & Finance assignment. Footnote Executive Summary This report provides an analysis and evaluation of the current and prospective profitability, liquidity and financial stability of Outdoor Equipment Ltd. Methods of analysis include trend, horizontal and vertical analyses as well as ratios such as Debt, Current and Quick ratios. Other calculations include rates of return on Shareholders Equity and Total Assets and earnings per share to name a few. All calculations can be found in the appendices. Results of data analysed show that all ratios are below industry averages. In particular, comparative performance is poor in the areas of profit margins, liquidity, credit control, and inventory management. The report finds the prospects of the company in its current position are not positive. The major areas of weakness require further investigation and remedial action by management.Recommendations discussed include: improving the average collection period for accounts receivable· improving/increasing inventory turnover· reducing prepayments and perhaps increasing inventory levels The report also investigates the fact that the analysis conducted has limitations. Some of the limitations include: forecasting figures are not provided nature and type of company is not known nor the current economic conditions data limitations as not enough information is provided or enough detail...

GANDHI, A. HUSSEIN, K. MANOHARON. N. NURU S. CHANDE, C. CHAHAL, N. GANDHI, A. HUSSEIN, K. MANOHARON. N. NURU THE PROPOSAL There were 15 million discharge summaries produced for admissions into hospital last year. A staggering 80% of these were found to be inaccurate or incomplete and another 70% of these were reported as being severely delayed on a regular basis. This compromise to clinical care and patient safety is simply unacceptable. Our empirical market research has found that the majority of junior doctors, the principal users of discharge forms, were unhappy with the current systems in place. It has also been reported that on average junior doctors spend more time carrying out admin duties than in formal training and teaching sessions. There are electronic discharge systems present however, these have been described as insufficient as they lack comprehensive coding and in some circumstances...

MICHAEL WU SUBJECT: PROPOSAL TO IMPLEMENT CRM SYSTEM AND CONTINUAL INVESTMENT TO ERP ------------------------------------------------- DATE: 2/18/14 ------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION Moore Medical primarily serves practitioners including physicians, podiatrists, emergency medical technicians, government facilities and the like by providing medical supplies. Moore’s mission is to be first choice in a one-stop shop that meets customer needs by offering a wide product range and fulfilling orders quickly, accurately, and reliably. The problem at Moore Medical is determining whether the company should invest in a CRM system, adding bolt-on modules to the current ERP system, both, or neither. This executive summary details the current issue as well as proposing a solution to the problem. BACKGROUND OF THE PROBLEM Currently, Moore has an ERP system that cannot accurately forecast demand due to it reacting to market conditions rather than predicting what demand will be. Additionally the ERP system is not efficient at creating a bid/quote for customers along with the related customer information. This caused customer service levels to decrease due to customer service representatives taking longer to handle orders. Moreover, new accounts could not be reviewed against old accounts, which led to the problem of duplicating customer information...

...Week 3 Homework Assignment for Chapters 9, 10 and 11 Chapter 9 Hardage v. CBS 1. What were the legal issues in this case? What did the court decide? In the summer of 1998, Hardage began working as an advertising account executive for KSTW-TV, a television station owned by Viacom Television Stations, Inc. and managed by CBS Broadcasting Inc. He was promoted to Local Sales Manager in February of 2000, and in this position, he worked with another Local Sales Manager, Nadene Stauffer, to manage and supervise the account executives. Patty Dean, the General Sales Manager, who was in turn supervised by defendant Sparks, the station’s General Manager, supervised both Hardage and Stauffer. Until about a month before Hardage resigned in August of 2001, he worked in the Seattle sales office whereas Sparks worked in the management office in Tacoma. Hardage contends he was sexually harassed by Sparks on several occasions and subjected to retaliation after he rejected her advances. He alleges that during Sparks' visits to the Seattle office, she repeatedly flirted with him and made inappropriate comments-such as “[y]ou need somebody that's older and more stable that can take care of you.” Leo Elbert, another employee at KSTW, stated that Sparks would “camp out” in Hardage's office, kick back in his chair with her feet on his desk, and smile and giggle in a flirtatious manner. Hardage asserts that he never flirted...

...is an apartment that you own. In real-world terms, condos often take the form of an apartment or similar shared complex, but theoretically, a condo could physically look like anything.1 The difference between a condominium and an apartment is purely legal. What defines a condominium is the ownership. Technically, a condominium is a collection of individual home units along with the land upon the land which they sit.2 Condominium units are generally popular in areas with high property values, and vacation hotspots and urban settings are both locations where you can expect to find them on the market. This is mainly because buying a singlefamily home can be quite expensive in cities where additional building space may be scarce especially in Metro Manila. As such, condos can open home ownership to whole new groups of people. There are many good of reasons that a condo could be a better alternative to an apartment or single home, and money is surely one of them. According to The Real Estate Journal, the prices of condominiums tend to appreciate at a 1 2 Ezinarticles.com wikipedia slower rate than single-family dwellings, making them a more cost-effective choice in markets where prices are on the rise. And, compared to renting an apartment, since you actually own your condo, you can take advantage of tax deductions, such as the interest on your mortgage. Real estate companies are now offering good deals, such as low interest rates, affordable payment schemes and easy...

...COUNTRY REPORT Retailing in the Philippines May 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Retailing market sees more vibrant performance in 2012 With a better economic backdrop compared to 2011, the year 2012 sees more robust growth in the retail market, both in grocery and non-grocery channels. The industry has benefited from the increase in government spending on infrastructure, dynamic local tourism, strong BPO growth, and influx of OFW remittances. The Philippine economy remains to be largely driven by consumer consumption which has accelerated growth both for store-based and non-store channels. Chained players expand in provincial areas During the year, chained retailers continue to realise the increasing potential of fast growing cities outside of Metro Manila. With BPO moving beyond the National Capital Region and tourism flourishing in the southern provinces of Visayas and Mindanao, the establishment of more shopping centres in provincial cities in turn encourages the expansion of chained players in these areas. Aiming to tap emerging lucrative markets, companies like Philippine Seven Corp, SM Retail Inc and Robinsons Retail Group, among others, are keen on establishing a presence outside Metro Manila. Grocery retailers surpasses non-grocery retailers sales growth With players like Puregold Price Club and SM Retail Inc focused on growing their networks of stores, grocery retailers surpass growth of non-grocery channels in 2012. The growth of hypermarkets and supermarkets which...
