ABSTRACT

The final report to the client is perhaps the most important part of the research planning

process. For the external agency, it is the moment of truth when the proposed methodology

is presented to the client. For the client, it is the chance to consider the course of action

based on the results. For individuals, it is the chance to impress senior colleagues and

enhance their reputation. No wonder people get a little fractious and nervous as the deadline

looms!
