Final Reflections on the Executive Summary

As you complete your final assignment, share your responses to a series of questions about the process of business writing and creating an executive summary. Provide feedback to your classmates’ thoughts.

Please watch the short video linked to in Content for Week 8, “Video review of executive summary for WA#4.”

Then answer the following questions. Post your answers as your response to this discussion topic.

1. What is proportional length?  In writing your report, did you find it challenging to keep your executive summary to proportional length?  If so, what challenges did you encounter? Your answers can be a short paragraph for each question.
2. To whom was your report addressed?  Is this person or group of people likely to read your whole report?  Or just the executive summary? Please explain your answer. Your answers can be a short paragraph for each question.
3. What was your methodology in your report?    You can review the video to re-visit how the methodology could be integrated into an executive summary.
