MKTG1025 Marketing Principles Assessment 2 Page 5 of 19 Executive summary (no word count) What is an executive summary? An executive summary is a one-page summary of the key highlights of your report. It efficiently summarises and communicates the most important findings and takeaways. How to write an executive summary When writing an executive summary, follow the four tips below: 1. Write it last Crafting the executive summary after writing every other part of the report is the best practice. 2. Make sure the executive summary can stand on its own Construct a tightly informative introduction, body, and conclusion that allows someone with no prior knowledge of the company, industry or brand to understand the key findings from your research and the primary findings of your analysis. 3. The executive summary is a condensed version of your report Your executive summary must directly align with the rest of your report. Therefore, while writing your executive summary, read through your report and take the most vital information from each section. Consider any significant numbers, facts, trends or findings. 4. Keep things factual Your executive summary should only focus on the facts - do not include personal opinion or emotion in your writing. For more information Refer to the following links for more information and resources on how to write an executive summary: RMIT Learning Lab: https://emedia.rmit.edu.au/learninglab/content/beginning University of Melbourne: https://students.unimelb.edu.au/academic-skills/explore-our-resources/report- writing/executive-summaries Also, attend the revision tutorial where your tutor can assist you with writing an executive summary. Checklist Have you: Incorporated the key findings from the various sections of your report? Kept the Executive Summary to only one page? Split your Executive Summary into paragraphs – ensuring each section discussion is its own paragraph? Paraphrased your findings? Common questions Q: Do I need to apply in-text citation in the Executive Summary? No. As you are summarising only information already contained in your report's body, the citations in the body of the report will be sufficient. Q: Do I need to use headings and subheadings in the Executive Summary? No. Break your topic discussions into paragraphs – there is no need for headings and subheadings. Q: Can I copy and paste my work directly from the body of the report? No, you should paraphrase the findings.
