Summary, conclusion of a report - ANSWER Summary of the report

Direct Approach - ANSWER The direct approach anticipates no resistance to its message--for
instance, "you've been hired," "your order is being shipped today," or even "the project will be done
in one week."
In this case, organizing your message is simple. Memos and letters should have some kind of brief
introduction, sometimes as its own paragraph. The introduction is simply a straightforward
statement of the main point of the message. For instance, if you are writing a letter to confirm an
order, simply begin by stating, "We have received your order and are shipping it today." Then the rest
of the letter can provide details like shipping time, cost, etc.
,Whenever possible, use the direct approach. Most readers are in a hurry and want the main point up
front. And if there's no reason for them to respond negatively, there's no reason to delay that main
point.
Keep in mind that the direct approach applies equally to letters, memos, and e-mail messages
Indirect approach - ANSWER Sometimes, your letter, memo, or e-mail message contains "bad news"
of some type. One that strategically delays the bad news until your reader has been prepared to
accept or deal with it in a positive way.
In this instance, organizing your message can be a bit more complicated and call for a bit more
strategy. Think of situations in which you've had to communicate bad news orally.
Now be careful with buffers. What you don't want to do is create the impression that you're stalling
or attempting to hide the negative message. If there is bad news to communicate, you have to be
honest in communicating it and you need to get to it in a way that doesn't waste your reader's time.
However, a well-placed paragraph, sentence, or just a phrase can go a long way toward softening the
blow and helping readers realize that even though the news is bad, you still have their best interests
in mind.
Deductive Reasoning - ANSWER Deductive and inductive refer to two distinct logical processes.
Deductive reasoning is a logical process in which a conclusion drawn from a set of premises contains
no more information than the premises taken collectively. All dogs are animals; this is a dog;
therefore, this is an animal: The truth of the conclusion is dependent only on the method. All men
are apes; this is a man; therefore, this is an ape: The conclusion is logically true, although the
premise is absurd.
Inductive Reasoning - ANSWER Inductive reasoning is a logical process in which a conclusion is
proposed that contains more information than the observations or experience on which it is based.
Every crow ever seen was black; all crows are black: The truth of the conclusion is verifiable only in
terms of future experience and certainty is attainable only if all possible instances have been
examined. In the example, there is no certainty that a white crow will not be found tomorrow,
although past experience would make such an occurrence seem unlikely.
