In this project, you have learned about the three principal report types: descriptive, comparative, and analytical. Each of these report types requires a different focus. For example, the content in a comparative report focuses on describing the differences between two or more entities. To complete this case study, you describe an appropriate situation for each of the three report types.

1. Open the file Research_09.docx located in the Project.09 folder in your Data Files, and then save the document as Content for Report Types in the same folder. This document contains a table with space for you to describe a situation suitable for each of the three report types.

2. For each of the report types listed in the table, describe an appropriate situation that would require the specified report type. For example, if the report type is a descriptive report, describe a situation in which a descriptive report could be used to communicate information. Search the Web for examples of each type of report, or draw upon your own experiences at work and at school for ideas.

3. Type your name where indicated in the footer, save the document, print a copy, and then close the document.
