1.結構方面：Report一般由Table of Contents, Executive Summary, Introduction, Body, Conclusion/Recommendation, Reference六部分組成。
 
2.語言方面：Report中，如果題目是假如你是某公司CEO或其他某個角色，可以使用第一人稱；如果沒有這樣主人翁的假設，還是不能用第1，2人稱。請注意這點和Essay的區別。
 
3.內容方面：
1)Report實踐性更重一點，少寫理論，多結合實際情況分析。對于某些Case Aanalysis的Report來說，一定要針對導師提供的Case來做分析，而不是自由發揮和濫用無關聯的理論。所有分析都必須針對Case里的內容來進行。
 
2)數據和圖表的使用很重要。如果用到某公司幾年內的某一項數據的變化，可以先列數據表格，再用柱狀圖、餡餅圖或曲線圖進行直觀反映。
 
⒋特別注意問題：
1) Table of Contents，一定要用Word自動生成格式。
 
2）Executive Summary，一般要出現“The main purpose of this report is to……”這樣的標志性語句。一般來說，這部分主要介紹這篇Report的研究內容、研究對象、研究目的、研究意義等等一些概括性的東西。
 
3) Introduction，在一篇Report中，Introduction部分相當于是一個Background，而不是概括Report的內容。請注意與Essay的區別。Report中的Introduction不概括文章內容；不介紹文章結構（因為目錄里已經有結構介紹了）；只介紹Background。
 
4) Body，總原則“少寫理論，多結合實際情況分析”，不要空談。根據要求具體分析，用證據支撐、用事實說話。列出標題、次級標題、有必要時列出下一級標題。每段內容用簡潔的語言提煉出要點關鍵詞，然后進行解釋和闡述。
 
5) Conclusion / Recommendation, 根據dissertation要求具體把握。
 
6) Reference: Reference 是導師最看重的，所以請一定特別注意！絕對不能出現編造的情況，一定要真實。國外對這個問題查得很嚴。一旦查出有作假或抄襲情況，會直接掛科，甚至開除學籍。一般來說，Reference包含兩個部分，一種是in-text reference 也就是在文章里的reference，一種是在文章最后出現的reference, 也就是reference list。一篇dissertation須要包含文中的in-textreference和文末的reference list。dissertation有明確要求幾個Reference的，根據要求來把握；沒有明確說明個數的，一般按照每千字3-4個來操作。
     Reference格式標注辦法，一般dissertation要求中會明確提到。常用的Reference格式有：
     Harvard referencing system 哈佛文獻標記系統
     CMS: Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) 芝加哥寫作和文獻標注系統：
     APA Style：American Psychological Association. 美國心理學會寫作和文獻標記辦法#p#分頁標題#e#
     AMA: American Medical Association 美國醫學會文獻標注系統
     MLA: 現代語言學會寫作和文獻標注系統
     CSE: Council of Science Editors (CSE) 科技編輯理事會文獻標記和寫作辦法
 
7) 字體格式：dissertation有明確要求字體格式、大小等時，根據要求來操作；dissertation沒有明確要求字體大小等時，一般用用times new roman字體；12（小四）；1.5倍行距；Word默認頁邊距；標題字體可加粗；每段落之間空一行；每段直接寫，無需空格；在每頁的右下角插入頁數。
