ABSTRACT
This chapter talks about Writing reports. Although essays are the most common assignments in many academic disciplines, students of Economics and Business are often asked to write reports. Reports and essays are similar in many ways, but it explains and illustrates the differences. While essays are often concerned with abstract or theoretical subjects, a report is a description of a situation or something that has happened. In academic terms, it might describe a survey one have carried out or be a comparison of alternative proposals to deal with a situation. The chapter also presents comparison between essays and reports. International students of Business or Economics often need to write essays and reports for exams and coursework, and the second edition of Academic Writing for International Students of Business has been completely revised and updated to help them succeed with these tasks.
