Recommendation Report

Write a recommendation report that includes the following sections (change as needed to suit your report): • Letter of Transmittal (addressed to a decision maker with the organization for which you are writing the report) • Title Page • Executive Summary or Abstract • Introduction • Methods—May not be labeled “Methods” Other headings work well too. • Findings • Conclusion with Recommendations • References Some sections may seem repetitive because people with different roles may read certain sections rather than the full report. For example, a manager may read the Executive Summary to determine whether to pass it on to a specific department that might carry out the solution. Some readers may be interested only in the results of your research, while others may want to evaluate your methods to determine how to gather more information without duplicating work you have already done. Clearly marking each section allows each reader to quickly find the information they need to make decisions.
