Title of the Paper in Full Goes Here

INTRODUCTION

This is the beginning of the body of your paper. It will include the background, the purpose and the scope of the project. In the first paragraph you will set the stage by describing your company. This introduction must include a description of the nature and scope of your business endeavors. It may include the company mission statement, motto and information about when the company was established. It should include a description of the physical location of the business, the number of employees and organizational structure.

The second paragraph in the introduction should describe in some detail the purpose for this business report. You must describe the company that requested the research and the specific information , such as dimensions or cost, you were asked to provide. Be sure you include a brief description of how your recommendations will be utilized.

The third paragraph should describe who and how you conducted your research. Include the number of people that assisted with the undertaking. The last sentence of the introduction section serves as a transition to the findings on the specific options that were investigated.

FINDINGS

The findings section will include about a paragraph on each of the options you have evaluated. At the beginning of this section describe the needs of the client, who has conducted the research, the source of the information you gathered and the criteria used to determine which option best meets the client’s needs.

Specific option name one

Each of the optional solutions you have examined should be described in a paragraph form in this section. First provide a complete description using short, simple sentences. Include any quantifiable data you have collected, such as measurements, durations, resolution, costs. Also include comments that reflect qualitative considerations, such as popularity, style or user friendliness. If additional considerations, such as add-on expenses or timeliness, have surfaced during your research, mention them here. Provide the URL of related websites if available and reference the related Appendix page.

Specific option name two

The second solution you described in a paragraph form in this section should have a parallel structure to the first. Again use a complete description using short, simple sentences. Try to include the same quantifiable data collected for option 1. Also include comments that reflect qualitative considerations, such as popularity, style or user friendliness. If additional considerations, such as add-on expenses or timeliness, have surfaced during your research, mention them here. Provide the URL of related websites if available and reference the related Appendix page.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Discussion and Analysis will include about a paragraph and table on each of the criteria, such as dimension, duration or cost) you have selected to evaluate the options. At the beginning of this section describe in general what criteria you will be using. End the first paragraph with a transition to the examination on all of your findings in light of each individual criteria.

Specific criteria one

Begin each paragraph on your specific criteria by clearly defining the criteria. For example, if you are discussing the dimensions of different options, please state clearly if that is given as height, width, length. Or if you are discussing duration (for example, of travel time) please state if it includes time spent waiting for transportation. Also describe why a particular criteria may be important. A table should also be included, which displays the specific criteria only, such as this:

Table 1 shows specific criteria measurement for each option

Table 1: Criteria One

1.Option One - Following the table, describe and discuss each options performance

using this specific criteria relative to the other options.

2.Option Two – These comments are of a compare and contrast nature.

3.Option Three – Please provide any additional information relative to the specific

option and criteria.

The end of each section on each criteria should close with a paragraph that lists the

options in order of their performance in regards to this criteria. Of example: The options are different forms of advertizing, such as onTV, the radio or on a website. The criteria under this section of discussion and analysis is cost. According to your research, placing an ad on TV cost 3,000 RMB everytime it is run, radio 1,000 RMB everytime it is aired and a website charges of 500 RMB per week. You describe these three forms of

advertisements relative to their cost as “Comparing advertising by three methods, TV is

the most expensive and website is the least expensive. Radio advertisement is of medium expense. However, both advertisement on TV and radio charges everytime they are aired.

The charge for an ad placed on a website is the lowest and will run for an entire week.”

Last make a statement about which option is the best as a solution using the particular

criteria.

Specific criteria two

Begin again by clearly defining the next criteria. For example, if you have already discussed the dimensions of different options, continue this section by moving to another criteria, such as duration. Remember to describe why a particular criteria may be important. A table should also be included, which displays the specific criteria only, such as this:

Table 1 shows specific criteria measurement for each option

Table 1: Criteria Two

1.Option One - Following the table, describe and discuss each options performance

using this specific criteria relative to the other options.

2.Option Two – These comments are of a compare and contrast nature.

3.Option Three – Please provide any additional information relative to the specific

option and criteria.

The end of each section on each criteria should close with a paragraph that lists the options in order of their performance in regards to this criteria. Of example: The options are different forms of advertizing, such as onTV, the radio or on a website. The criteria under this section of discussion and analysis is cost. According to your research, placing an ad on TV cost 3,000 RMB everytime it is run, radio 1,000 RMB everytime it is aired and a website charges of 500 RMB per week. You describe these three forms of advertisements relative to their cost as “Comparing advertising by three methods, TV is the most expensive and website is the least expensive. Radio advertisement is of medium expense. However, both advertisement on TV and radio charges everytime they are aired. The charge for an ad placed on a website is the lowest and will run for an entire week.”

Last make a statement about which option is the best as a solution using the particular criteria.
