graphical representation of important data, and recommendations categorized by level
of effort. In a 1-page document, please pull out the most important information
(analysis, recommendation, etc) from your works. Consider what a marketing manager
would need to know in order to speak to the CEO about the product-marketing plan.
YOU need to be disciplined in determining what is vital information (hence the 1
page!) This will serve you well in your career.
The 1-page summary report should have a report title at the top, and It should
provide enough of an overview of the report so that an executive (who doesn't
have time to fully read the longer document) gets the main ideas and conclusions of
your report. Most importantly, the summary should contain (1) the purpose of the
report (with minimal background information), (2) what you did (analysis) and what
you found (results), and (3) your recommendations. It should all contains in just one

Remark: ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
Attendance
Attendance at all lectures and tutorials is compulsory. Students must give reasons for their absence
by providing the supporting evidence(s) (e.g. medical certificate, letter from parents/guardians &
etc.) and apply for leave of absence from the respective Head of Department. Poor attendance
without any approved leave of absence may prompt the faculty to take disciplinary action, which
may include being barred from sitting for the final examination.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is defined as the submission or presentation of work, in any form, which is not one's
own, without acknowledgment of the sources. If a student obtains information or ideas from an
outside source, that source must be acknowledged. Another rule to follow is that any direct
quotation must be placed in quotation marks and the source immediately cited.
Plagiarism is also defined as copy of all or part of the work of another student(s) of current or
previous batch of this University or another higher learning institution. The University's degree and
other academic awards are given in recognition of the candidate's personal achievement.
Plagiarism is therefore considered as an act of academic fraudulence and as an offence against
University discipline.
Intellectual Property
Copyright must be seriously protected. The University takes a strong stand against any illegal
photocopying of textbooks and any other materials by students. Students are forewarned of the
consequences and the penalty that may be meted out if they are "caught in the act".
Mode of Referencing
Students are advised to incorporate proper academic modes of referencing. The normally
acceptable mode of academic referencing is the American Psychological Association (APA) system;
please refer to the attached APA referencing system document for detailed usage.
Fieldwork Clause (where applicable)
Students are reminded of the importance to consider their personal safety when conducting
research in the field. You will be exposing yourself in new situations and meeting with people who
are unknown to you. It is important that you are aware of potential dangers and take the necessary
safety steps. You have to be extra careful and cautious if you are going to interview or conduct
survey with small, unknown organizations or individuals 'on site'.
You should ensure you have the full details (full name, job title, organization name, address and
telephone numbers) of anyone or organization you intend to conduct the field research. You
should establish the credibility of these respondents before your groups visit them. The field
research should be made in groups not alone. Leave word with your fellow classmates on your field
visit (details of place, contact numbers, person you are interviewing or conducting survey with,
expected time of return, etc). The field work should be at office hours.
