...Guidelines for Preparing Your Executive Report Contents 1. Title Page: the title should clearly and succinctly communicate the central focus of the paper. The name of every person who is to receive credit for the project must appear on the title page. No name, no credit. 2. Table of contents: List of each of the major sections, including references and appendices, and specify the page on which they begin. (-5 points) 3. Executive Summary: Provide a 100-150 word summary of the purpose and outcome of the project. This goes on a separate page that follows the table of content. Bullet points can be highly effective to summarize findings. (-5 points) 4. Body: The structure for the body of the report is described in detail below. 5. References: Whenever you use someone else’s idea or work in developing an argument or providing an explanation, you must cite the author(s). To do otherwise is plagiarism. You can impress yourself, your instructor and client by citing material from CMST 311. (-5 points) 6. Tables and Figures: You may have numerical data or illustrations that you need to present. If so, these things go after the references; tables first, figures second. If it has numbers on it, then it is a table. If it is a graphical illustration, then it is a figure (e.g., pie chart). Number and title each table/figure so that you can easily refer to them in the text of your paper. For example, “As Table 1 shows…” 7. Appendices: This is where all of the materials...

...How to write an Academic Business Report Tessa Owens Writing an Academic Business Report Writing a report may be divided into six broad areas: 1. identification and acquisition of relevant sources 2. preliminary research, which normally takes the form of reading and making notes and possibly visits to organisations for primary data 3. focused thinking about your report 4. writing your report plan 5. writing your first draft 6. producing the final report You should form the habit of looking very closely at the report title at this stage to see exactly what it is asking you. Do not forget that the same report may be answered in a variety of different ways, THERE IS NO ONE CORRECT ANSWER TO ANY GIVEN QUESTION. What is always required however is some kind of evidence to support the points you wish to make, whether it is evidence from a text, a journal, or in certain cases a primary source. At this point you should be beginning to think in terms of the argument you wish to make and the evidence you might use. You will not need to use all the notes you have compiled as a result of your research, but you should never regard your research as wasted even if you don’t use it, as it will increase your knowledge and understanding of the subject which will be reflected in your later work. Sometimes the kind of evidence you have gathered may influence the line of argument you choose to take. At other times you will be clear from the first what line of argument...

Initially I researched about what Talent Acquisition is and its relevance in today’s time. This involved reading a lot of material on the internet.

...#67766089 University of British Columbia MGMT 390 Section 003 February 10, 2013 Norine Webster At the beginning of the term, shortly after the assignment was announced, I set up and led a few meetings to get everyone started and organized on what needs to be done, during which we discussed the individual and group sections of the paper. My sections of the paper were the value chain of the industry and the supplier section of the porter’s five forces. I had good communication with the team and I helped out two of the other team members in finalizing their sections of the paper. Another group member and myself did most of the work formatting and editing the final paper after everyone had their part completed. Afterwards I was in charge with any last minute spell checks, reference checks and submitting the final report. At the time I thought it would be a good idea to have everyone’s input in deciding sections of the paper. In hindsight however, the initial meetings were a bit redundant as the individual sections could have been assigned since no one had any preferences. My section of the paper was completed a day after the discussed due date that the group set, so I should have spent more time and effort in meeting this goal. The individual work submitted by some of the group members could have used more work, so a lot of time was spent fixing grammatical mistakes and rewriting sentenced to make them more coherent. For Part 2, I will personally do my best to complete my part...

...BUSN460 Senior Project Final Report and Presentation Guide Overview: The object of this course and this project is to provide you with a realistic situation that you are likely to face in the real world business environment. You'll be working with limited information, limited support from your client, within a limited time frame - and yet, you have to get up to speed in a new area quickly, and make informed professional recommendations based on your research and analysis. You and your team have been hired by CanGo as consultants to help them improve their fast-growing business. The management team at CanGo is busy, not entirely organized and somewhat overwhelmed by their success. They are looking to you as an objective, intelligent, experienced business person - and to your combined experience as a team to help them figure out what they should do in several areas of their business. CanGo can provide very little guidance to you - if they knew what they were doing they wouldn't have asked you for help! CanGo is your customer, and they are paying you a great deal of money, so the tone of your work on the project should be that of information addressed to the Board of Directors of this company, and it should be the best professional work of your (academic) career. You should approach this project as if your job depended on it - as if it were paying your mortgage and grocery bill. This project is your new job. In previous courses you have been given specific guidelines, templates...
