Instructions for the Managerial Report assignment

The Managerial Report assignment consists of various activities leading to the preparation of a formal, single-spaced, 10-15 page analytical managerial report, which will include introduction, body and conclusion sections of 6-8 pages (minimum). The other 4-7 pages will consist of the appropriate prefatory and supplemental elements. Also required is a set of 5-7 visual aids, which would be used to deliver a 5-7 minute oral briefing on your report. Please note that you will not actually deliver the briefing in this class; you will only create the supporting visual aids.

TOPIC SELECTION
Select a managerial report topic from the sample topics list on page 4-5 of this assignment document or create a custom topic of your own. Prepare a work plan as detailed in the managerial report proposal/work plan assignment, which can be found in the Week 1 folder.
