A busy Executive should be able to read your ES and glean key information without having to read the full detail of the report. The Executive Summary is not an introduction to the report. This is on a single page. Should be no more than 1 x A4 page in single spacing. This page is not to be page numbered, and not counted in the overall report page numbering, and must not be listed in the Table of Contents. WRITE THIS AFTER YOU FINISH THE REPORT The introduction would commence on a new page and this would be page number 1 Body text should be 11pt either Arial or Calibri The recommendations may be inserted in full from the report proper. Suggest at least 5 recommendations; do not limit yourself to 5 if your approach indicates more. This will depend on your focus in relation to task and your research. Ensure you put yourself in the context of the professional setting and what would be appropriate. Table of Contents You can generate the Table of Contents automatically in word if you are sufficiently skilled. Alternately, you can create manually. It must reflect the headings/sub-headings of your report. Only the page number where a heading commences is to be included as per above. Your page numbering will reflect in your report. 1.0 Introduction (14pt) 1 1.1 Purpose (12pt) 1 1.2 Background (12pt) 1 2.0 Conflict in the workplace 1 3.0 Include the other numbered headings and sub-headings as per your report content to reflect your response to the task. ?.0 Conclusion ?.0 Recommendations ?.0 References Delete this page from your report if you are going to use the template below.

There is no specific content material included here. You are telling the reader what is to come based on your task. There should not be any need to include references here. This is the ‘roadmap’ of your report. 1.2 Background This is a couple of paragraphs providing a brief summary of case scenario and key issues/focus of the task. You do not need to reference the case. This gives context to the report and allows you to best position the reader for the discussion that will ensue in your critical analysis/discussion. DO NOT RESTATE THE ENTIRE CASE! 2.0 Conflict in the workplace (This is something you make up to reflect the content you choose to discuss here in response to the task) 2.1 Include sub-headings if relevant to your discussion (12pt and bold) Body text in here should be 11pt Your discussion throughout must be referenced. 2.2 etc Include main topic headings based on the content approach of your Report.

It’s up to you to work out the number of headings and heading titles. ?.0 Conclusion (approx. 10% of total word count) This draws together your discussion. The conclusion does not include any new content material and would not usually contain references. ?.0 Recommendations (keep this to the point) These are specific strategies for future action; exactly what it is that you are advising. Suggest you approach as follows – It is recommended that: (each specific recommendation can be listed as a dot point; there should not be any justification discussion here / you already would have done that up in the body of the report to reach this point) • Adopt …. (these are written as action statements) • Implement… • ?.0 References (This is on a separate page) Ensure you refer to the CQU APA referencing Guide or CQU Harvard Referencing Guide latest edition. If you think about it, this is a way to ensure you can ‘boost’ your marks somewhat. Refer to the APA or Harvard referencing style and include here only those sources you have cited in-text above. Access via the Academic Learning Centre link on the Moodle site. Please pay attention to the finer detail of the referencing protocol across all the different types of sources. Students lose marks unnecessarily by not referring to this guide. You must have a minimum of 8 peer reviewed academic journal articles and used appropriately to achieve even a pass. Must be relevant and should be no later than 2009 unless a defining moment or have special significance in the discipline. Stay within this timeframe to be on the safe side. By researching to obtain relevant, accurate and quality references. It is then up to you as to how you use these to best formulate and present your discussion. APPENDIX If you include material here you must have referred to it in your report proper. You may or may not have these and you may have more than one. APPENDIX A (if you follow this approach each new Appendix is on a new page).
