1.結(jié)構(gòu)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(shè)，還是不能用第1，2人稱。請注意這點和Essay的區(qū)別。
 
3.內(nèi)容方面：
1)Report實踐性更重一點，少寫理論，多結(jié)合實際情況分析。對于某些Case Aanalysis的Report來說，一定要針對導(dǎo)師提供的Case來做分析，而不是自由發(fā)揮和濫用無關(guān)聯(lián)的理論。所有分析都必須針對Case里的內(nèi)容來進(jìn)行。
 
2)數(shù)據(jù)和圖表的使用很重要。如果用到某公司幾年內(nèi)的某一項數(shù)據(jù)的變化，可以先列數(shù)據(jù)表格，再用柱狀圖、餡餅圖或曲線圖進(jìn)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(xiàn)”The main purpose of this report is to......“這樣的標(biāo)志性語句。一般來說，這部分主要介紹這篇Report的研究內(nèi)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(dāng)于是一個Background，而不是概括Report的內(nèi)容。請注意與Essay的區(qū)別。Report中的Introduction不概括文章內(nèi)容；不介紹文章結(jié)構(gòu)（因為目錄里已經(jīng)有結(jié)構(gòu)介紹了）；只介紹Background。
 
4) Body，總原則”少寫理論，多結(jié)合實際情況分析“，不要空談。根據(jù)要求具體分析，用證據(jù)支撐、用事實說話。列出標(biāo)題、次級標(biāo)題、有必要時列出下一級標(biāo)題。每段內(nèi)容用簡潔的語言提煉出要點關(guān)鍵詞，然后進(jìn)行解釋和闡述。
 
5) Conclusion / Recommendation, 根據(jù)dissertation要求具體把握。
 
6) Reference: Reference 是導(dǎo)師最看重的，所以請一定特別注意！絕對不能出現(xiàn)編造的情況，一定要真實。國外對這個問題查得很嚴(yán)。一旦查出有作假或抄襲情況，會直接掛科，甚至開除學(xué)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(xiàn)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(jù)要求來把握；沒有明確說明個數(shù)的，一般按照每千字3-4個來操作。
     Reference格式標(biāo)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(xiàn)標(biāo)記系統(tǒng)
     CMS: Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) 芝加哥寫作和文獻(xiàn)標(biāo)注系統(tǒng)：
     APA Style：American Psychological Association. 美國心理學(xué)會寫作和文獻(xiàn)標(biāo)記辦法#p#分頁標(biāo)題#e#
     AMA: American Medical Association 美國醫(yī)學(xué)會文獻(xiàn)標(biāo)注系統(tǒng)
     MLA: 現(xiàn)代語言學(xué)會寫作和文獻(xiàn)標(biāo)注系統(tǒng)
     CSE: Council of Science Editors (CSE) 科技編輯理事會文獻(xiàn)標(biāo)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(jù)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(rèn)頁邊距；標(biāo)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(shù)。
