Please take a moment to read and get familiarized with the following learning concepts:

.

                Executive Summary

What is an Executive Summary? How to develop an Executive Summary?

.

According to the Writing@CSU | The Writing Studio at  http://writing.colostate.edu/guides/guide.cfm?guideid=76

.

An Executive summary is:

.

“Executive Summaries

Executive Summaries are much like any other summary in that their main goal is to provide a condensed version of the content of a longer report.

.

The executive summary is usually no longer than 10% of the original document. It can be anywhere from 1-10 pages long, depending on the report's length. Executive summaries are written literally for an executive who most likely DOES NOT have the time to read the original [document].

.

Executive summaries make a recommendation. Accuracy is essential because decisions will be made based on your summary by people who have not read the original.

.

Executive summaries frequently summarize more than one document”

.

In addition, please find the following Good and poor examples of executive summaries at  http://unilearning.uow.edu.au/report/4bi1.html .
