Reports play a significant role in business. A report is not complicated. It is merely a collection of information, arranged in a format, and prepared by an expert. And you, the writer, are the expert.
Reports come in a various forms. They can run anywhere from one page (short report) to an indefinite number of pages (scientific report). They can be laid out in a variety of formats: memorandum, letter, semiformal, formal, statistical, research, short reports, etc.
Reports are essential tools for management, especially when they are conceived and prepared properly. Good reports give the reader answers, or at least ideas. They are also:
- Objective
- Research-based
- Backed by graphics, when possible
- Written in a clear, concise style
Recipients of reports often claim they are frustrated because reports list information but do not solve problems. Remember, a good report writer gives answers as well as information.
