Business Reports
A common style of business writing is the business report.
Business reports (you'll never be asked to write a business essay) are a particular type of document that is often used in business to describe, explain and analyse business situations and often recommend or evaluate a response or strategy.
Business reports:
- are written in the third person
- remain objective and evidence based
- use headings and subheadings
- include diagrams, charts and tables which are referred to in the writing
- can include dot points where appropriate
- are concise and to the point
