CMN 313 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Plano Real
Document Summary
In writing any document, you must define the problem in a workable and effective manner. Defining the problem means breaking up task into component parts that can be dealt with individually, and then finishing those to finish the bigger task. When breaking down task into parts, it is easier to go about research and produce a better report. It is important to understand each task and articulate that understanding clearly. Reports, however, must stay relevant to the topic/argument. Few business reports are written without some type of formal or informal request; someone within the org recognizes that there is a need for info or analysis of a particular problem. A report documents solution and provides necessary info to deal with identified problem. And the person requests or authorizes that a report be prepared. More intricate, complex and sophisticated the problem, the more danger there is in misinterpreting what is required to complete task effectively.
