What is report?
An orderly and objective communication of factual information that serves a business purpose.
What is short report?
The short report consists of a title page and the report text normally. Like most of the less formal report forms, the short report may be organized in either the direct order or indirect order. But the direct order is more common. This plan begins with a quick summary of report including the conclusions and recommendations.
Because many organization heavily depend upon the short reports. There are many varieties written for the different purposes. Some companies have their particular report forms.
There are many types of short reports but we will define three of them only, as follows: 1. Routine operational reports:
The majority of the reports written within the companies are routine reports that informs to the supervisors, top managers and other employees of the organization about the company’s all activities. These reports can be for daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly. It depends upon the work nature that if sufficient task like all the policy making rules have to define then it will be in more concise form that every one can understand easily. For the various purposes we can use this form of report. For example the production data, the data of loyal customers etc.
The formation of this type of repot varies from company to company and managers to manager.
The content / format of this report: ❖ The name comes from the fact that what is inside the report and it must be written with in 15 minutes. That’s why we define its name first of all so that this name clearly defined
