    2. Executive summary
    The point of this is to provide a short review of the contents of the report. Your aim is to provide
    management with a brief explanation of what the report is about, what methodologies were used, the
    conclusions, recommendations and limitations. It is a ‘snapshot’ of the report. For this report, attempt to
    write one sentence for each point.
    Example sentence
    Purpose (subject matter).
    This is a report into e.g. the demand for
    specific, searchable locational mobile
    phone applications for tertiary education
    users in Melbourne.
    Methodology (what did your cover/ how did you do
    it)
    An environmental analysis is provided, as
    well as information regarding segmenting
    and targeting using secondary data
    provided from __e.g.
    _________________________(list main
    sources only.)
    Results/Findings  The results indicate that the e.g. preferred
    target market is e.g. young adults in full-
    time, University education in Melbourne.
    Conclusions
    The report concludes that the identified
    target market provides a marketable
    opportunity for Lost on Campus.
    Recommendations
    (note that conclusions and recommendations can
    be bulleted in longer reports.)
    It is recommended that Lost On Campus
    develop a mobile application for Melbourne
    University Students.
    Limitations of the report.

    full-time, day university students from the 2
    largest campuses in Melbourne attending
    campus in business hours only. It did not
    include staff, or visitors to the universities,
    nor any TAFE students, staff or visitors.

    3. Table of Contents (TOC)
    This should contain a list of the main headings and subheadings used in the report, along with page
    numbers. (Word can do this automatically for you. It will save you hours over your uni. Career)
    Refer to:

    746383b97ecb
    You will use headings and sub-headings for different components of your report.
    Use headings for major new sections of the report, and subheadings, (and even 3 rd or 4 th level headings)
    4. Introduction. (Heading)
    This is an introduction to your report. It defines the purpose of the report; what was issue being
    investigated and explains its purpose and scope. It is different from the Executive summary. It does not
    contain results, conclusions or recommendations.
    E.g.
    This report for Lost on Campus investigates the market for a localised edition of the mobile app for
    Melbourne tertiary students. Macro-environmental factors effecting the market are identified.
    Segmentation of the market is conducted, and the potential demand by a defined target market for a
    localised product is evaluated.
    5. Main report body with Headings and Subheadings
    You will use headings and sub-headings for different components of your report.
    Use headings for major new sections of the report, and subheadings, (and even 3 rd or 4 th level headings)
    You will now continue to write up the sections of the main body of the report. Such as:
    Macro-environments * (Heading-1 st level)
      Economic (Subheading- 2 nd level)
    o Australian economy (Sub-subheading- 3 rd level)
    o Industry/ Market (Sub-subheading- 3 rd level)
      Global (size, structure, trends, profitability…) (4 th level)
      Australian (size, trends, profitability…)
      Political
    o Government Policy
    o Current Legislation
    ....
      Socio-Cultural etc.
    Include relevant macroenvironmental factors etc.
    La Trobe University
    3
    *Only include those which are relevant to your industry.
      Segmenting (Heading-1 st level)
    Use a table here to describe the segments.
      Target Market (Heading-1 st level)
    Identify a segment(target market) that you think is profitable.
    6. Conclusions (Heading-1 st level)
    The conclusions section of a report is one of the most important parts of a report. It should be one of the
    final sections to be written, along with the Introduction and Executive Summary. Obviously you can’t write
    these without the conclusion.
    After you have finished drafting the main body of your report, it is best to give yourself some time away
    from it. A day or more, is recommended, so that you can read the report ‘fresh’. It is amazing what a little
    perspective can do for your proof-reading skills! Read the report and note any changes you would like to
    make.
    There are some important things you need to include in the conclusion:
      Ensure it links to the rest of your report.
      Ensure you highlight and clearly state the significant parts from your report.
      Do not add any new material!
      Be concise, don’t waffle or pad
    7. Recommendations. (Heading-1 st level)
    Recommendation should emerge clearly from the conclusions of the report. This is the instructional part of
    the report, where you tell the reader what to do. It could be in the form of what decision to make, what
    course of action to take, what alternative solution is superior or what further work needs to be undertaken.
    Note:
    The recommendations should never include any new evidence.
    Recommendations should be feasible and appropriate to the problem.
    The recommendations section provides your opinion on the course of action to be taken. You cannot
    recommend all choices- this is not a recommendation. You can however, recommend no action in a
    particular case. (not this report!)
    La Trobe University

    Although and Conclusions and Recommendations are generally reported in separate sections (like this
    one), some reports may present this information in one section, as a Conclusion & Recommendations
    section.
    8. References (min. 3 from text or e-Journals)
    Use only LTU Harvard referencing.
    See library website for Harvard referencing Module (which takes you through it) and tool (which shows you
    how to do it).
    No references- no grades, and you will likely be brought up on a charge of academic misconduct-
    plagiarism.
    9.Appendices (include extra depth of data - has a weight of 20%)
    The appendix should include information that supports your analysis in the main body of the report. It is
    useful to include lengthy or repetitive information here, and to refer to it in the text. The appendices may
    contain graphs, tables or any other format.
    The appendix is not counted in the word count of an assignment. Information presented in the appendices
    must have a direct relationship to your research for your report.
    Label each separate appendix in your report:
    e.g. Appendix A, Appendix B etc.
    The appendices should be in the order in which they are referred to in the text.
    A Final Word
      Write in the third person: “It is recommended….,” . rather than, “I recommend.”
      Draft, re-draft, and re-draft again. Repeat as required. Your first completed output, is
    unlikely to be your best.
      Research together, but write alone. Never show another student your written
    assignments. If they copy you, you can also be charged with academic misconduct.
      Start early. If you haven’t started early, start NOW!!!
      There is plenty of assistance available to you. Please ask.

    Discussion of assignment
    Use Marketing Theory (from your textbook or e-journals) to identify the relevant criteria to describe the
    Australian market for these products. It is up to you to define your market as broadly or narrowly as you
    wish
    What are the key definitions?
    The Marketing Theory you are addressing is the theory on environmental analysis, segmentation and
    targeting. It is contained in the chapters of the text we cover in weeks 1-4
    The process you will be following is:
     Fully describe the Australian market for books. What does it consist of? How large is it? What is the
    structure of the industry- is it dominated by one or several large firms? What is it worth? Is it
    growing or shrinking? Etc.
     What are the major issues/variables effecting this market? Etc. Which are positive and negative for
    the market?
     What are the ways in which the industry has segmented this market? Construct a table identifying
    the market segments, using descriptions of key segmenting variables for each. Identify some of the
    products that are marketed to these segments, using your own research.
     At the end of your report you will be required to make a recommendation as to which segment of
    the market, would you would suggest for the company to target. You must identify one of the
    segments that you have identified, and give reasons for your choice.

    Resources
    The compulsory reference for this assignment is the IBISWorld database found on the LTU library site. It is
    free for you to use. Please utilise and reproduce in your assignment tables, graphs and figures. Each set of
    data / table should be followed by a short interpretation of the information / a summary of the key points.
    You may wish to use tables and graphs in your report. All of these must be correctly cited.
    E.g.
    Age categories  ‘Average Australia’
    0-4 years
    5-14 years
    15-24 years
    25-54 years
    55-64 years
    65 years and over
    Table 1. The Age Distribution for XXXX and the Average Australia
    Source: Based on 2006 Census QuickStats: xxxxxx”
    It is expected that you will use other data sources to complement your findings. You are required to use at
    least 3 other academic sources. You will need to search for these in the library.
    Keeping within the word limit.
    You may refer to documents in your appendices. You can include data, tables etc. in the appendix, and
    then refer to then throughout your report. When the word count is tight, you can also present information
    and data in tables. This is a way of reducing your word count, and making your report more readable.
