Abstract:

With the increasing importance of data analytics across business fields, employers expect a high level of proficiency in creating and delivering data-driven verbal and written communications on business topics. Hence, the ability to write a succinct and professional business report is invaluable for students and graduates of MBA, Business MS and Business PhD programs. Gaining the required skills to write a full-length business report takes solid discipline and real-life experience. In this talk, I share my experience and the insights that I have used in guiding my MBA students to write high-quality business reports. I hope this talk can benefit your students and their careers as well as your colleagues.
