How to do a recommendation for technical report and recommendation require what information? please
Answers
Answer:
OVERVIEW
A recommendation report proposes a solution to a problem or evaluates possible solutions and recommends one. Before proposing or recommending a solution, the report needs to identify the problem.
Think about the various problems you encounter everyday or read about in the paper.
EXAMPLE: A HEALTH CARE/ECONOMIC PROBLEM
For instance, Congress is trying to figure out how to control the ever-increasing cost of Medicare/Medicaid. The problem seems to be that if we don't reform the system, part of Medicare (health insurance for seniors) may go broke in ten years (though such predictions have existed ever since Medicare was created). But reforming the system may require some seemingly unpleasant lifestyle changes: seniors may have to enroll in managed care plans (HMOs); in the case of a terminal illness, no extreme measures would be taken to effect an (unlikely) cure or to extend life. This would mean that certain conditions--like liver failure late in life due to alcoholism--would be treated with measures less expensive than a liver transplant, while other conditions, such as hypertension would get more, and faster, treatment. Are HMOs the solution? A feasibility study would evaluate this solution *among others* as a way to respond to the problem of rising Medicare costs.
EXAMPLE: TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE
In technology, problems are often resolved with a technical upgrade. For instance, you put dual airbags in cars because people too often don't use seat belts, and airbags prevent further injury even when seat belts are used. The problem here, which motivates people to improve a process, is that people continue to sustain severe injuries despite the availability of seat belts and dual airbags. Taking this one step further, some car companies (like Volvo) are not installing side airbags, in addition to the two in front, to protect people against side impacts, which often do not activate the two front airbags.
EXAMPLE: SOCIAL SCIENCE/COMMUNICATION
In the areas of social science and communication, a "technical upgrade" might exist in the field of small-business management, where many researchers are discovering that a business will run more efficiently if the employees are asked for their advice about how to improve processes.
FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN DEVISING A SOLUTION
Be SITE SPECIFIC. That is, don't propose a general solution; propose one that is specific to your situation.
Survey what is currently known about your subject through research. SUPPORT your recommendations with RESEARCH.
Consider ECONOMIC ASPECTS. Since money is involved in the improvement of almost anything, you must take into account the economic aspects. Do a long-term cost analysis. Will the improvement, over time, be worth the increased cost? How would one determine that?
Consider CHANCE and human nature. Try to anticipate the unexpected. For instance, Corridor H in WV may not be built--not because of all the environmental studies, but because we have now learned that there are Civil War sites along the route--which no one, apparently, knew about before.
ORGANIZING THE REPORT
If you will read Chapter 11 in Reep, you will see that there are conventions for organizing feasibility studies (see pp. 308-310 for details, and 329-332 for an example) and proposals (see pp. 322-326 for details and pp. 347-52 for an example).
Both of these organizational patterns can be used for your recommendation report, although the PROPOSAL FORMAT will probably fit most topics better than the feasibility study format. If you want to adapt either of these patterns, discuss your plans with your professor.
In brief, here are the basic elements of each pattern. Please be sure to look at the book to see the sub-sections for each of the main points outlined here.
PATTERN 1: FEASIBILITY STUDY
