Memo Reports ?!

It's me again,
As already said in a previous post, 30% from our grade consists out of the so called "Memo Reports". To refresh your minds:




  1. What is a memo report?
Put simply, a memo report is a brief report which is presented with a memo header:

To:
From:
Date:
Subject:

It is presented in the form of a memo because it is for internal communication purposes. In the context of your project, the consultant sees him/herself as temporarily affiliated to the company and, therefore, uses the memo format to stress his/her temporary insider status.

  1. Memo and Memo Report the same?
No. A memo can be used for any kind of internal correspondence within an organisation. It may be very short and relatively informal. However, it is about to disappear because of the use of emails.

A memo report has a formal status. It is a means of briefly summarising complex information, using an explicit structure.


Meanwhile, we were already supposed to hand in both memo reports, which were obligatory. To give you a little impression about how they looked, here they are:

This was the first one. Graded with an indicative grade, the purpose of this report was to practice.



This was the first graded report



This is the newest one I just handed in.



What do you think about the reports, do you think writing those is a good exercise?
