Short Answer Questions

Q. 1. Explain the main features of a effective Business Report.
Ans.
A good ‘report’ must have the following qualities:
(i) Clarity of Purpose: The person who aims at preparing a report must be clear about the purpose of the report. All his observation, findings, investigations and recommendations should be concerned with the main purpose of the report. A report thus prepared will change into a valuable document.
(ii) Accuracy: ‘Accuracy’ means, ‘Correctness’. It means that all facts or information should be exactly reported. The figure or statistics included in the report should also be correct as far as possible.
(iii) Clarity: ‘Clarity’ is the backbone of a good report. There should be no ambiguity or round aboutness in the report. The sense should be clearly understood by the reader. The facts included in the
report must be arranged properly. If the report is long, it should be divided into small paragraphs. Each paragraph may be assigned a heading. Even the recommendations made should be clear and solid.
(iv) Conciseness or Preciseness: The matter of the report should, as far as possible, be short and summarized. Lengthy report* sometimes, lose their importance because it is naturally that in lengthy reports many things are irrelevant and uncalled for which should invariably be avoided. However, brevity should not be achieved at the cost of complexness. While trying to impart brevity to
a report, we should be careful enough to see that nothing important is left.
(v) Relevance: The report should contain only that much material which is needed or required. Inclusion of any irrelevant detail can make the report misleading. So, unwanted material
should be declined or avoided so that the report is forceful and material.
(vi) ‘Easy-to-Understand’ Language: The language used in the report should be easy to understand. It should be unambiguous. If the language of the report is vague or unclear, the reader may find
it difficult-to understand and the very purpose of the report may be defeated.
(vii) Accuracy of Language: The language used in a report should be grammatically justified. For this purpose, it should be noted that punctuations, words, spellings etc. are proper.
(viii) Reader-Oriented: A good report is read reoriented. By reader-oriented, we mean ‘prepared keeping in mind the type of person or persons who is/are going to read that report’.
While drafting a report, we must keep in mind the status and dignity of the reader in mind. We cannot work on the formula, “What applies to one applies to all,” A report written for an ordinary officer
must be different from the one drafted for a technical expert.

(ix) Unbiased and Solid Recommendations: If the person who prepares a report feels that it is necessary for him to advance some recommendations, he should be careful to see that his recommendations are free from his personal feelings. They are unbiased. Moreover, the recommendations should be solid and logical. Beating about the bush never pays.
