REPORT PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION PROCESS
![Page 4: Research Report Preparation and Presentation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/5528094f55034617648b45f1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The first step in the process involves • The interpretation of the results of data
analysis in light of: (i) the marketing research problem investigated,
(ii) and the research design and methodology followed .
• The research report is a means of communication that can be understood, believed, trusted by everyone who are likely to be affected by the research, and acted upon by the decision maker .

Before writing the report • the researcher should discuss : the major
findings, conclusions, and recommendations with the key decision makers . (i) necessary to ensure that the report meets the client's needs and is ultimately accepted . • The entire marketing research project : (i)should be summarized in a single written report or in several reports addressed to different readers .
(ii)should present the findings in such a way that they can be used directly as input into decision making .

• No universally accepted standard format or style for research writing . Different researchers may prepare their reports differently . (i) Report formats are likely to vary with the nature of the project itself . However, the research report closely resembles the steps of the marketing research process .
