Editor's Notes
So far we have seen two broad categories of reports that Are …. Informational Reports. They present data but does not analyze that data or makes any conclusions. Analytical reports not only provides data but also analyze’s that data and draw conclusions. I would be presenting on Yardstick and research reports
Think for a while about the term yardstick Yardstick >> is a stick that is about 3 feet long. It is basically a measuring tool that is used in making measurements or comparision. Same is the case here with yard stcik reports Look at the picture When ever we measure some thing we have to use a standard unit This unit becomes the criteria of measeurement.
Used by higher level management in order to compare, measure different alternative solutions
Lets Take a look at the definition of yardstick reports. A yardstick report is a type of report that Discusses a problem statement Provide one or more alternate solutions to the problem Each of the alternative solution is measured or weighed against the criteria. Writer then provides conclusions and make recommendations. What diffrentiates yardstick reports from other reports is the The Consistency that it provides in comparing various alternative Solutions.
Assume your company decides to buy an equipment from a manufacturer you have to compare or evaluate different manufactures. One critera of comparison might be the cost of equipment that is provide by different manufacuters
A typical Format of Yardstick report is given below. Report starts with the introduction This sections describes the purpose of report and provides an overview of the organization of report. Discuss the problem briefly with a little background information. This section discusses the multiple solutions and alternates that are available. Writer then tells how he has established different criteria's that he is using to evaluate alternatives. This is the main part of yard stick report where writer performs the comparison between each of the Solution and alternatives In this section the writer highlights the differences or similarities between the solutions we can use tabular format to summarize complex data Writer then provide the conclusion and gives his recommendation with an obvious reason .
Are used by different business organizations in order to conduct a thorough studies of a particular problem. They uses a scientific approach to solve a particular problem
Research reports discusses a problem statement or purpose statement Suggest ways on how to solve that problem. Present data that has been collected during the research leading to conclusions. Analyze that data Draw conclusions and make recommendations.
They guide the reader through out the report so that the conclusions seems rational to the reader.
