Types of reports
Reports may be categorized broadly as Technical Reports and General Reports based on the nature of methods, terms of reference and the extent of in-depth enquiry made etc. On the basis of usage pattern, the reports may also be classified as information oriented reports, decision oriented reports and research based reports. Further, reports may also differ based on the communication situation. For example, the reports may be in the form of Memo, which is appropriate for informal situations or for short periods. On the other hand, the projects that extend over a period of time, often call for project reports. Thus, there is no standard format of reports. The most important thing that helps in classifying the reports is the outline of its purpose and answers for the following questions:
1. What did you do?
2. Why did you choose the particular research method that you used?
3. What did you learn and what are the implications of what you learned?
4. If you are writing a
recommendation report, what action are you recommending in response to what you
learned?
Two types of report formats are described below:
