Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The Executive Summary summarises the situation for busy executives to save them working all the way through the detail.

The summary needs to be very well written, accurately reflective of the entire document, and in-clude the key points needed to make a balanced decision.

The executive summary should be written last of all the sections, and is often the only part of a document which will be read.

An executive summary? Sounds like a fancy way of saying 'Don't make me read all this, just tell me what I need to know.'

Executive summary? More like 'Excuse me, I have a meeting in 5 minutes, give me the cliff notes!' Amirite?

Definitely D. Executive summary - that's the whole point of a business case presentation, to give the key info upfront to busy execs.
