all reports concern some subject. It is equally obvious that reports can be classified on the basis of some logical grouping of subjects. title fly。 table of contents。Frequency of issueReports may be periodic or special. The periodic report es out at regular intervals, such as daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. The special report involves a single occasion or unique situation. The Business Report Definition A business report is an impartial, objective, and planned presentation of factual information that serves some business Raymond U. Lesikar, Report Writing for Business. Illinois: Richard D. Irwin, Inc., 1981The basic element of the report includes factual information—events, records, and the various forms of data that are municated in the conduct of business. Not all reports are business reports. Research scientists, medical doctors, ministers, students, and many others write reports. Thus, the need for the final phrase of the definition is obvious. To be classified as a business report, a report must serve some business purpose. The purpose may be to solve a problem, such as how a pany can profitably use an electronic puter? The purpose may be to present information needed in the conduct of business: a weekly report of a salesperson’s activities, a summary of the day’s production, or an explanation of expenditures on a particular project. In general, a business report is an impartial, objective, planned presentation of facts to one or more persons for a specific, significant business purpose. The business report is also an actionoriented document. It is not a theoretical paper on an abstract and inconsequential question. The report puts a fence around a problem, presents an analysis of situation, offers justified conclusions, and finally, makes carefully substantial remendations.Prefatory partsTitle flyTitle pagePreface or forewordTable of contents and list of illustrationsThe Report Body Introduction The purpose of the introduction of the business report is to orient the reader of the problem at hand.Text/Body This part presents the information collected and relates it to the problems. Normally it prises the bulk of the content of a report. Specifically this part consists of the presentation of findings of the research. It includes the analysis of these findings and application of them to the problem. It is all that appears in the logical order report between the introduction and conclusion sections, including the supporting tables and charts that relate to this part. Truly it is the heart of the report.The Ending of the Report The ending of the report usually consists of a summary, conclusions, remendations, or a bination of the three.The following discussion will touch upon several specific qualities. Some of them reinforce each other, but there are times when an excessive effort to achieve one quality will mean the sacrifice of another. Thus in considering the question of how vigorously to cultivate any of them on a specific occasion we will need to foresee the circumstances that will probably prevail when our report is actually used, and decide what the report must be if it is to perform its function under those circumstances.Completeness is necessary for a successful business report because plete messages are more likely to bring the desired results without missing important information. Thus, reports that seem inconsequential can be surprisingly important if the information they contain is plete and effective.Different readers need different levels of pleteness. We must consider the reader to achieve pleteness. If the reader is familiar with the problem, few details are needed. If the reader is uninformed, plete explanations and interpretations are necessary. InterestLike all forms of good writing, a good report should be interesting. Actually the quality of interest is as important as the facts of the report, for without interest, munication is not likely to occur. If interest is not held, readers can’t avoid missing parts of the messages. The writing must maintain their interest. and always assume that he or she is intelligent, but uninformed.The sensory world of Mary consists of all things around her as her sensory receptors detect them. The sensory receptors, of course, are eyes, ears, and nose that record impressions from reality. Thus, the sensory world of Mary contains all that she feels, sees, hears, or smells. From this sensory world, her receptors pick up impressions and send them to her brain.When Mary’s sensory receptors record something from her sensory world, they relay the information to her brain. The message sent by Gorge probably would be recorded in this way, but it could be joined by other impressions, such as outside noises, detection of movements, facial expressions, and such. In fact, Mary’s brain receives these impressions in a continuous flow a flow that may contract or expand, go fast or go slow, bee strong or bee weak. another with sharply different background may react with violent anger at the same word. In one person’s filter, the word butterball rings a jolly note。 and little is known about it. There is evidence, however, to indicate that one’s ability here, and throughout the symbolizing stage, is related to one’s mental capacities and to the extent to which one will permit the mind to react. Especially is one’ ability to evaluate filtered information and formulate meaning related to one’s ability with language. Apparently ability with language equips one with a variety of symbol forms, and the greater the number of symbol forms in the mind, the more discriminating one can be in selecting them. Since we have a good understanding of the munication process, we can define munication as “a process of sharing meaning between persons through an exchange of symbols enabling each person to elicit in his or her own mind
