...There is one required group case write-up as shown in the Tentative Schedule. The write-up should be no longer than four double-spaced pages inclusive of exhibits (such as tables, charts and figures). In addition to these four pages, you may have a cover page and another page (the last page of the write-up) that is an assessment of group member contributions. The sum of the group member contributions must total 100%. Please use an 11 point font with a 1.5” margins (for my corrections and comments). (Do not use a plastic cover for the report; staple the pages at the top left of the page). While you will be given many possible questions to consider and discuss, your case write-up will focus on only a few questions. Please clearly indicate in your write-up the questions that you are answering. The recommended solution should be based on the available data in the case and address the decision and/or policy issues facing the firm. The grade you receive on the case write-ups will be based on your ability to provide a solution that you can defend well, one that is also supported from the facts of the case, and one that has a solid financial foundation. In addition, you will be graded on grammar, spelling, punctuation, format and general appearance of your case write-up. In efforts to be sure that each team member participates, the work of each member must be attached (separate to the stapled report) to the back of the case report. This work can be handwritten.

...is supposed to uphold the law. When filling out reports and documents it is imperative that all information be added and nothing or no one be left out. As a member of the internal affairs department it is ones duty to uphold the law and to protect those that cannot protect themselves. If it is ones job to write a report and one is ignorant to the facts of what they are reporting then they should read all the information that pertains to that case. How can one write a report if they do not know or understand what he or she will be writing about? If when making the report they find important information being omitted regardless of who the individual is then it should be brought to the attention of the lieutenant’s supervisor. If one ignores the implications and writes the document as it is then, later down the road that same person that was omitted from the report is implicated as being a part of criminal activities then you too are just a guilty as the lieutenant. Falsifying Documents Law enforcement is supposed to uphold the law. When filling out reports and documents it is imperative that all information be added and nothing or no one be left out. When conducting an investigation when a relative is or may be involved in criminal activity the one doing the investigation should be someone other than the person that has close involvement with the case.

...Written Reports You probably will be asked to write reports for at least some cases. The following guidelines will help you write an effective case analysis. First, in business communications a short report is usually considered better than a long report. This does not mean that in your report you can skip key points, but rather that you state relevant points clearly and concisely. Do not include trivial matters. Second, the report should be well written. It should be typed and not contain spelling or grammatical errors. The report you hand in for class should be equivalent in quality to a report you would write for your boss, a senior manager of an agribusiness company. In the early years of your career, particularly in a large firm, you are likely to become known for the quality of your written reports. A well-written report would contain the following elements: Executive summary. This is a concisely written statement, less than one page, placed at the front of the report. It briefly summarizes the major points of the case and your solution. It should describe the major issue, the proposed solution, and the logic supporting the solution. Problem statement. Present the central issue(s) or major problem(s) in the case here. Do not rehash the facts of the case; assume that anyone reading the report is familiar with the case. Alternatives. Discuss all relevant alternatives. Briefly present the major arguments for and against each alternative. Be sure to state your assumptions...

...How To Present A Case After you’ve analyzed the case, you will be asked to present the case in a written report, and verbally to the class. During your presentation you have two overall objectives. First, you should inform your Instructor and classmates, whether in writing or through the verbal presentation, of the results of your case analysis. Here you will discuss the steps you completed during case analysis, including the formulation of the problem and the sub problems, the identification of important variables, the objectives and the goals of organization, constraints and restrictions to be considered, alternatives facing the organization, important assumptions, the technique(s) employed, the input data for and solution from the quantitative technique(s), how the solution was tested and analyzed, how the action plan was formulated, and suggestions for action plan implementation, evaluation, and maintenance. Your second objective is to convince your Instructor and classmates that your approach is better and will help the organization discussed in the case to obtain its goals and objectives while solving its inherent problems. In preparing the written case report, you should have a well-organized report. The following outline should be used as a model in preparing major sections of your written report: o o o o Table of Contents Summary of Findings Background Information Problem Statement if there are any o o o o Analysis of Alternatives ...

...How to Write a Good Report Bhaskaran Raman, Apr 2004 This short document describes how to write a good report. This is based on common mistakes I have observed over a period of time. While most of the following apply in general, they have been written with BTech/MTech/PhD students in mind. The comments below apply for course projects, other semester projects, technical reports, theses (BTech/MTech/PhD). That is, technical writing in general. While a google search on the topic may churn out many hits, the following is tailored for IIT (Kanpur) students in particular. I will first mention some general guidelines, then the structure of the report. Towards the end, I will also describe how to refine your writing, and how to give feedback on others' writing. Based on these, I will recommend a possible strategy for producing high-quality reports which have high potential for being published. General Guidelines These are some general things you should know before you start writing. I will try to answer the questions of the purpose of report writing, and the overall approach as well. Purpose of a report: writing to be read A key thing to keep in mind right through your report writing process is that a report is written to be read, by someone else. This is the central goal of report-writing. A report which is written for the sake of being written has very little value. Before you start writing your report, you need to have in mind the intended audience. In the narrowest...

...BUSINESS REPORT AND HOW DO I WRITE ONE? Business reports can take different forms. Generally, they are concise documents that first inform by summarizing and analyzing key facts and situations and then make recommendations to the person or group asking for the report. One example—four small county hospitals are no longer covering their expenses and are costing taxpayers dearly. Each operates very differently from the others. Some legislators think the least profitable hospitals should be closed while some taxpayers think all four should be consolidated into one regional administrative unit. An independent task force is considering all the feasible alternatives and will make a final recommendation to the county. You have been asked to write a report to this task force. You have an array of data collected from the hospitals as well as information about the communities they serve and available literature on hospital administration to draw from. Before writing this or any report, you must ask yourself two important questions: 1. Who is my audience? (In business, this is likely to be either your supervisors or clients, such as the task force above, 1 who will read your report.) 2. What is my purpose? (This is what your readers need to know to do their job.) If you don’t understand your audience and purpose, you are not likely to create a report that meets the needs of those who will be reading it. AUDIENCE: In the example above, you must write your report as if you...
