Abstract
Finalized based on Week 7 discussion 2. However, you should begin drafting it with the Week 4 assignment. Revise and add to it with the Week 5 assignment and the Week 6 assignment.
The abstract and first paragraph should be a brief summary of the content of the paper or report presented in the exact order that the content is presented. The abstract and introduction should be written in the past tense. The abstract and introduction should not state what will be done. Rather you should state exactly what was done. The abstract and introduction should briefly provide the results as reported in the paper. The use of headings and sub-headings throughout your papers and reports improve the organization of report and ease the preparation of an excellent abstract and introductory paragraph. The abstract is very brief. The introduction is more detailed as it briefly summarizes the content of the paper or report in the exact order that the material is presented. Good business writing gets to the point quickly. The abstract and introduction must briefly present the question or problem addressed plus how the analysis was completed along with the results including conclusions and recommendations. The abstract is a very brief summary.
