Introduction
A report to be presented to members of a technical staff within the Division of Innovation and Product Development is categorized as a technical report. In additional to the type of the target audience, there are several other factors that will determine the decisions in communicating and presenting the report. Thus, a comprehensive plan ought to be formulated, encompassing all elements of the report and mechanisms that will be used to attain objectivity of the research report. Below is the analysis of consideration in communicating a technical report under differing scenarios.
Discussion
The purpose of the Report
The purpose of the report is a primary consideration for business reports. The report will have to include sections that precisely indicate the objectives of the research. Sections of the prefatory information, specifically the title page and the executive summary ought to be included.
