ORG4801 ASSIGNMENT PACK 1
Instructions.
Students are asked to present a report, as they act as change analysts to an
organisation of their choice.
Mostly, students are familiar with writing essay assignment but some have no clear
picture of how an academic report looks like.
The idea is to choose an organisation of choice that is based in Africa and then show
how best you can present a report to the management.
How a report is written? (Structure)
Unlike any other essay, a report takes a different form since it is addressed to a known
group of people ie management in this case.
The structure of the report can be in the following:
i. Title.
It is important for any organisation report to have a title.
This is essential because it will help the management to identify the
subject of the matter quickly.
Without a title, it will take time for others to understand what exactly
does the report serves.
So the title must be reflective of what is to be presented.
ii. Context.
This act as an introduction to your presentation.
It gives the picture of what to expect in terms of presentation ie if there
is any statistical or theoretical points in the report.
This must be short and precise since there are no examples or
definitions of theories needed at this juncture.
The name of the organisation must be provided at this point.
At this point we shall choose Econet Zimbabwe for the seek of the
assignment guidance.
iii. Objectives.
This part allows the change analyst (student) to give important
objectives targeted by him/her.
This means, the most important areas that the document seeks to
achieve must be shown in this section.
Again it has to be short and straight to point.
iv. Summary.
Unlike many document, a report needs a short summary before
presenting all facts.
This means that, managers may save time whenever they need to refer
to this document by just reading summary.
It must be short and factual as it reflects the whole document.
To others, this is more of a snapshot of what to expect in full view.
