Guidelines for Writing the Project Report $[$Max Pages $=10(1+1+1+2$X$3+$Exhibits$)]$:

Each team should consider its written report as an "executive briefing." The body of the report should provide a concise summary of the status quo, but should concentrate on the conclusions and implications of the analysis your team has done. In the discussion the conclusions and implications should be supported with theory and objectives of management, your own logic, and evidence.

The project report will have three distinctive parts. The $1$st part will focus on Business Process Analysis, the second part will focus on the IT enabling of the Business Process and final part will focus on Implementation and execution strategy of the firm and its implications.
