To Determine-
Analyzing the Executive Summary and offering specific suggestions for revising it
Introduction
Revising and producing a book - Completing the long reports and proposals though broadly similar to that for shorter reports, requires a lot more work in revising, producing, proofreading and distributing. Producing and revising these documents require an extra measure of polish and professionalism often including packaging elements with each section starting on a new page. These reports are produced and revised with focus on the various segments of the book that is on the variety of prefatory parts from cover page to the executive summary. A good and complete report contains a title fly and a title page; Letter of authorization and Letter of Acceptance; Letter of Transmittal, introducing the report to the audience; table of Contents; List of Illustrations; Synopsis or an Executive summary; Main Text of the report; Supplementary Parts, like Appendices, Bibliography and Index.
Abstract and Executive Summary - It is a brief overview summarizing the most important points of the report and alternatively called the abstract. This summary may be informative or descriptive. While an informative summary is the statement of the main points of the report in their sequence of appearance in the report, a descriptive summary tells us what the report is about with a little more details than that provided in the table of contents and without the statement of the actual findings. An executive summary, however, is a fully developed mini version of the report itself. It is more comprehensive than any other summary and contains a heading, well-developed transitions, and visual elements.
