How To Use The Business Report Template
(version 1.0)
Formal business reports are prepared in a different format than essays or other academic assignments. Preparing professional reports, and proposals, will help you communicate your ideas to your employers while also adding to your value as an employee. This is an important skill to develop and practice while here at Centennial.
Business writing should involve three key steps:
Planning Writing Completing
Planning:
· Analyzing the situation or topic. Defining the purpose, the “business problem” or “opportunity” that a report may address. Formulating a main message for your report - often this involves proposing a solution or response to the purpose. Developing an audience profile.
· Gathering information. In other words, primary and secondary research, as required.
· Organizing the information: Creating an outline or structure for the key points that need to be expressed.
Writing:
· Adapting to the audience. Developing a tone or style that is sensitive to audience needs while projecting and protecting your organization’s image and/or brand.
· Composing the message: Follow the outline prepared earlier, using carefully constructed paragraphs and sentences. Identify or create any visual or graphic representations of data that you want to use.
Completing:
· Revising: Proofread and edit for spelling, grammar and typographical errors. Re-write for conciseness and clarity.
To assist you with the formatting of such documents, we have prepared a template that you can use to guide you through the report preparation process.
· Download the template.
· Save one “master” copy to use again in the future.
· Save a new copy with a new file name that reflects your report or assignment.
· Instructions are given and highlighted in yellow. Read all instructions and delete them when you no longer need them.
· Replace all other elements (titles, headings, sample text, etc.) with YOUR content, as instructed.
· When you finish using the template, the final document should contain your own original work, formatted as a standard business report. All instructions or examples given in this template should be either deleted or replaced with your own content.
Instructions for the cover page:
The next page is a cover page and contains the report title (mandatory), a subtitle (optional) and information on the author, the intended audience (in this case, a professor), and the date it was prepared.
Every business report should have a title that reflects its content or “main message”. The title should be in the same font as the body of your work, but at least twice as large as your regular text. It should be centred, bold, underlined and should appear about one third to halfway down the page from the top. Depending on the nature and content of the report, you may decide that a subtitle is appropriate. For example, a report ab ...

Main objective of the assessment
To write a report of a piece of research. This involves being able to use the literature in order to identify a suitable research problem/issue or opportunity to explore, to design/implement a study using suitable and appropriately justified research methods, to present the findings and finally to provide conclusions. You will also have demonstrated that the requirements of responsible ethical behaviour in research were taken into account. All of this encourages you towards becoming an ‘independent’ researcher. Being independent means (amongst other things) being capable of: (a) formulating good questions; (b) developing and presenting well-informed and well-supported arguments; and (c) defending your arguments in open discussion. Learning to deal with complex, open-ended problems and limited, often ambiguous, information is an extremely valuable preparation for future challenges.
Description of the assessment
In this, you will have shown how you have “draw[n] on the literature in the field, analyse[d] and interpret[ed] research evidence of a discipline-specific phenomenon in order to identify a suitable research problem/issue or opportunity to explore”, that you have “identified a suitable research problem/issue or opportunity, design[ed] and implement[ed] a research investigation/study, use[d] suitable research methods, appropriately justified, and report[ed] efficiently and effectively on the findings, conclusions and (where appropriate) proposals for appropriate action thereof”. You will also have demonstrated “that the requirements of responsible ethical behaviour in research [were] suitably taken into account”. You need to provide evidence that you have understood and met “the requirements of responsible ethical behaviour in research”. These quotes come from the learning outcomes published in the module block outline.
The Project Report should consist of a carefully-crafted account of your Project. It is important to remember that this Report is the only evidence that the markers are able to use when assessing your work. These guidelines are designed to help you to prepare the best document/Report possible, so that you do full justice to the research you have undertaken. Please read in conjunction with the marking scheme.

The process by which managers establish working relationships among employees to Deliberate arrangement of people to accomplish some specific purpose achieve goals.
An organization is an entity comprising multiple people, such as an institution or an association, that has a particular purpose.
Organization is the process of identifying and grouping of the works to be performed, defining and delegating responsibility and authority and establishing relationships for the purpose of enabling people to work most efficiently". - Louis A. Allen
An organization is an entity comprising multiple people, such as an institution or an association, that has a particular purpose.
Centralization & decentralization of authoritySiddharth Gupta
Henri Fayol (was a French mining engineer and director of mines who developed a general theory of business administration.
He and his colleagues developed this theory independently of scientific management but roughly contemporaneously.
He was one of the most influential contributors to
modern concepts of management.
Fayol has introduced the 14th principles of management which are very dynamic in nature.
Among those the 8th principle is CENTRALIZATION AND DECENTRALIZATION.
Training is a highly useful tool that can bring an employee into a position where they can do their job correctly, effectively, and conscientiously. Training is the act of increasing the knowledge and skill of an employee for doing a particular job.
According to Edwin Flippo, ‘training is the act of increasing the skills of an employee for doing a particular job’.
In a precise form we can say that, International Business Environment consists of all internal & external business environmental factors and some other international specific factors also, such as global economic trends, world politic, recent world order, international rules and regulations, host country’s political climate etc.
Measurement is the process observing and recording the observations that are collected as part of a research effort.
Process of assigning numbers to objects or observations, the level of measurement being a function of the rules under which the numbers are assigned.
“convert the basic materials of the problem to data”
A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. It refers to the technique or the procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting items for the sample. Sample design may as well lay down the number of items to be included in the sample i.e., the size of the sample. Sample design is determined before data are collected. There are many sample designs from which a researcher can choose. Some designs are relatively more precise and easier to apply than others. Researcher must select/prepare a sample design which should be reliable and appropriate for his research study.
The process used to collect information and data for the purpose of making business decisions. The methodology may include publication Research, interviews, surveys and other research techniques, and could include both present and historical information.
These are indirect and unstructured methods of investigation which have been developed by the psychologists and use projection of respondents for inferring about underline motives, urges or intentions which cannot be secure through direct questioning as the respondent either resists to reveal them or is unable to figure out himself. These techniques are useful in giving respondents opportunities to express their attitudes without personal embarrassment. These techniques help the respondents to project own attitude and feelings unconsciously on the subject under study. Thus Projective Techniques play an important role in motivational researches or in attitude surveys.
Important Projective Techniques
1. Word Association Test.
2. Completion Test.
3. Construction Techniques
4. Expression Techniques
1. Word Association Test: An individual is given a clue or hint and asked to respond to the first thing that comes to mind. The association can take the shape of a picture or a word. There can be many interpretations of the same thing. A list of words is given and you don’t know in which word they are most interested. The interviewer records the responses which reveal the inner feeling of the respondents. The frequency with which any word is given a response and the amount of time that elapses before the response is given are important for the researcher. For example: Out of 50 respondents 20 people associate the word “ Fair” with “Complexion”.
2. Completion Test: In this the respondents are asked to complete an incomplete sentence or story. The completion will reflect their attitude and state of mind.
3. Construction Test: This is more or less like completion test. They can give you a picture and you are asked to write a story about it. The initial structure is limited and not detailed like the completion test. For eg: 2 cartoons are given and a dialogue is to written.
4. Expression Techniques: In this the people are asked to express the feeling or attitude of other people.
Disadvantages of Projective Techniques
1. Highly trained interviewers and skilled interpreters are needed.
2. Interpreters’ bias can be there.
3. It is a costly method.
4. The respondent selected may not be representative of the entire population.
The World Food Programme (WFP) is the food-assistance branch of the United Nations and the world's largest humanitarian organization addressing hunger and promoting food security. According to the WFP, it provides food assistance to an average of 91.4 million people in 83 countries each year. From its headquarters in Rome and from more than 80 country offices around the world, the WFP works to help people who cannot produce or obtain enough food for themselves and their families. It is a member of the United Nations Development Group and part of its executive committee.
The objectives that the WFP hopes to achieve are to:
1."Save lives and protect livelihoods in emergencies"
2."Support food security and nutrition and (re)build livelihoods in fragile settings and following emergencies"
3."Reduce risk and enable people, communities and countries to meet their own food and nutrition needs"
4."Reduce under-nutrition and break the inter-generational cycle of hunger"
5."Zero Hunger in 2030"
What is sampling?
Sampling is the act, process, or technique of selecting a suitable sample, or a representative part of a population for the purpose of determining parameters or characteristics of the whole population.
Characteristics of a good sample
-True representative
-Free from bias
-Accurate
-Comprehensive
-Approachable
-Good size
-Feasible
-Goal orientation
-Practical and economical
Sampling Error
A sampling error is a statistical error that occurs when an analyst does not select a sample that represents the entire population of data and the results found in the sample do not represent the results that would be obtained from the entire population.
and many more things about the sampling technique.
Indian financial system and role of financial institutionsSiddharth Gupta
The Financial System of any country refers to a system that provides
smooth and efficient relationship between the borrowers and the lenders.
This system aims at establishing effective medium for generating funds from
various sources. A financial system may be defined as a set of institutions,
instruments and markets which fosters savings and channels them to their
most efficient use. The main function of this financial system is to assemble
wide spread savings from household individuals and industrial firms.
FEATURES OF INDIAN FINANCIAL SYSTEM
-It plays a vital role in economic development of a country.
-It encourages both savings and investment.
-It links savers and investors.
-It helps in capital formation.
-It helps in allocation of risk.
-It facilitates expansion of capital markets.
-It aids in financial deepening and financial broadening.
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
Financial institutions are the participants in a financial market. They are business organizations dealing in financial resources. They collect resources by accepting deposits from individuals and institutions and lend them to trade, industry and others. They buy and sell financial instruments.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
