Define the problem that you are trying to solve. A problem statement will clarify your research objective and keep your report focused. A well-defined problem statement will also help you to create clear-cut findings and recommendations with specific details.
Research the problem. The library is a good place to start because it provides access to newspapers, databases, books, journals, magazines and government documents. The Internet is another good resource, as are experts and representatives from other organizations that have dealt with similar problems.
Write the report. The introduction should contain details about the problem and why you need to solve it. After the introduction, discuss your findings. Make sure to include some of the sources of the information as well as specific details of what your learned. Finally, write your recommendations. These should provide the solutions you found during the course of your research.
Proofread and revise the report. Have a friend or colleague read it to check for grammatical errors that you might have missed and to ensure that your research and recommendations are clear and well-stated.
