• Body Paragraphs:This section of the report can include background information relevant to your analysis and findings e.g. a presentation how you have chosen to focus your analysis of the case study. It is important to remember that your research analysis and findings need tobe developed through a coherent argument using your own words. Moreover, it is vital to keep in mind that it is required that you develop your arguments drawing on academic sources such as relevant theories and management models. You may also find it helpful to draw on suitable examples in developing your arguments.

• Conclusion:It is often helpful to summarise the argument that you have made in the body of the report, and use this to present your evaluation; because this evaluation should flow from the argument developed in the body of your text.
