Question

Decision makers are unlikely to take your report seriously when you express in your own words the original idea of one of your research sources. weave together information from more than three sources. combine information from various sources in novel ways. make recommendations that are not explicitly linked to facts and conclusions. use verbatim restatements from another source.

Answer 1

Decision makers are unlikely to take your report seriously when you make recommendations that are not explicitly linked to facts and conclusions.

When someone is reviewing your report, analysis or thoughts on a new product launch or anything involving a new concept/innovating there needs to be factual information provided to prove your reasoning. It's hard to invest and for a decision maker to back up your cause when there is no way to prove the information you are providing is true and accurate.
