Project and Report Writing: No. 3 (Super S.)

Main differences between Super Series 3 and Super Series 2

· Super Series 3 covers the knowledge and understanding of the new MCI Standards (due to be launched in April 1997). The S/NVQ links are clearly stated at the beginning of every workbook.

· Portfolio activities included. These and the work-based assignment in each workbook are mapped to specific elements of the MCI Standards.

· Much wider range of industry sectors and organisations included in the examples, case studies and activities.

· All titles updated in terms of current management trends and new legislation. Where applicable, the treatment of some topics has been completely revised. A matching chart showing how SS3 relates to SS2 is available on request.

· Three new titles added: Making a Financial Case; Managing Tough Times; Becoming More Effective.

The 40 workbooks in Super Series 3 cover a broad range of topics that managers have to be able to address in the workplace and provide an unrivalled range of solutions to meet every individual's and organization's specific training needs for improved business performance. The workbooks are organized and colour coded into four modules which reflect the key roles of management. The learning content of each workbook is specifically designed for the NEBS Management awards at Certificate level and S/NVQ Level 3 in management. Each topic is carefully stuctured with a variety of case studies, examples and interactive activities to underpin the knowledge, as well as provide managers plenty of opportunity to demonstrate their understanding. Self assessment exercises at the end of each session and workbook allow managers to assess their performance as they progress through each topic.

This workbook will enable managers to:

· plan and prepare for writing a report;

· analyse and interpret data correctly;
· adopt a suitable structure for their report;
· write clearly and simply and present their arguments in a fair and unbiased way;
· use tables, diagrams and graphics effectively;
