Overview
Business reports often communicate an analysis of a scenario or
aspect of a business in relation to a strategic goal or need. These
types of reports can include the status of the organization, stakeholder
summaries, market trends, and financial statements. The main goal of
business reports is to help leaders in developing strategies and making
decisions or recommendations for the improvement of business.
Additionally, business reports may also provide analysis of potential
worst-case scenarios, solutions to issues currently faced by an
organization, and a review of best practices and analogous situations
faced by similar organizations.
