Report Topic
You work as the marketing director of Glendale Wallet Inc and the CEO is interested in learning more about the fashion industry, especially related to small leather goods, such as wallets. She believes that relevant conventions and expositions in the United States are a good starting place. She is thinking of either attending or becoming an exhibitor in a few of these in 2015.
Write an informational report about three to five conventions, expositions, or shows related to leather fashion industry that will take place in the United States in calendar year 2015.
Important Considerations
To be successful on this project you need to consider the following requirements and information:
1. Your report must be presented as an informational report without any recommendations.
2. This report should be based only on secondary sources of information. The secondary sources must be reputable and they should be properly documented in the report for future reference. Beside sources on the internet and research databases, there might be some books on this topic that you can use for your report.
3. Your report should present the facts and information clearly and logically in a well-organized document.
4. Follow the guidelines in Chapter 7 of our class material to create your report. Use a title that is descriptive of your report topic. Place your by-line below the title.
5. Include a Statement of Purpose at the beginning of the report. This should be a thesis statement of your report.
6. The report must be 3 to 4 pages (excluding Title Page, Works Cited and Appendix) single spaced, font size 8 to 11 and approximately 0.5” to 0.75” margins all around. Include page numbers on every page, excluding the title page.
7. You will have three major (first-level) headings in the body of your report. Use the following outline and headings to develop your report: a. Introduction i. Attention getter with footnote (if applicable)
ii. Statement of the purpose (one sentence/statement)
iii. Limitations or scope (what you ARE or are NOT covering)
iv. Methods to find information (secondary sources)
v. Definitions of terms or abbreviations (optional)
vi. Should be about ½ to one page long
b. Body/Findings (do not use this heading; use one descriptive of YOUR specific topic) i. Divide this portion into a minimum of three subsections
ii. Use descriptive headings that incorporate parallel wording
iii. Organize the contents logically and footnote or endnote properly
iv. Should be 2 to 3 pages long
c. Summary i. One paragraph summary of the important elements of your report
ii. Nothing new; no footnoting
iii. Incorporate your Statement of the Purpose and some background
8. For works cited include the alphabetic listing of the sources used in the report. List only the sources used directly in the report. Use MLA formatting.
9. Include an appendix, if necessary. An appendix is for extra materials you would like to share with your readers. Remember to refer to the appendix in the body of your report wherever relevant.
