You have a great framework for a training manual. The major issues that need to be addressed are clarifying the audience you are speaking to and expanding upon your explanations. Please see my comments below.

Document meets some of the conventions of a manual based on formatting and content. Formatting elements are sometimes used incorrectly or not used when needed to make the document more reader-centered. Sections are not labeled with the following headings in the order presented or sections are missing: 1. Research Strategies, 2. Research Methods, 3. Business Strategies, and 4. Presentation. Score 2 All required sections and elements are included in the training manual and your descriptions are good. However, there is no table of contents, the section headers are not bold, and there is no introductory statement that describes the contents of the manual.

Audience (business analysts) and purpose (to provide instructions for completing a research project and for presenting the project, findings, and recommendations) are not clear. Score 1 The company described in the scenario states that the purpose for writing the training manual is to describe the difference between the business research process and the scientific research process. This could be remedied by providing an introductory statement that clarifies these two points.

Research Strategies section presents a vague problem statement, confusing or irrelevant research objectives, an incomplete literature review, and an incomplete ethics in research. Each subsection within section one presents definitions but, explanations and examples are missing. Some information is inaccurate, and terminology is used incorrectly in more than one place in this subsection. three grammar or syntax errors. Score 2 Each subsection is presented and definitions are provided. However, the explanations are brief and there are no examples provided.

Research Methods contains three of the four subsections: Sampling Design, Research Design, Data Analysis, and Limitations. This section is incomplete as each subsection does not contain relevant and accurate definitions, descriptions, and detailed explanations. Three noticeable grammar or syntax errors. Score 2 Each subsection is presented and definitions are provided. However, the explanations are brief and there are no examples provided.

Business Strategies section contains one of the two subsections: Conclusion and Recommendations or contains both but is significantly under developed or inaccurate. Information provided is insufficient to demonstrate an understanding of these subsections and how they differ. Three or four grammar or syntax errors. Score 2 Each subsection is presented and definitions are provided. You also make the appropriate connections between conclusions and recommendations. However, the explanations are brief and there are no examples provided.

Presentation section contains two subsections: Executive Summary and Presentation. Incorrect or under developed explanation, description, and examples are presented and do not demonstrate a clear understanding of these Subsections and how they support the purpose of the manual. Three grammar or syntax errors. Score 2 Both sections are presented, but are very underdeveloped. The explanations are brief and do not include examples that would help the reader fully understand the elements required to complete an executive summary or prepare a successful presentation

Overall Score 1

As I mentioned in my introductory remarks, you have a really good foundations here. Please use my comments above to make revisions.
