A good online collection of organizational reports is the website of the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) accessible at http://www.clir.org/pubs/reports/. Additionally, you can find reports linked from the websites of the Fortune 500 organizations, or you can search for them on Google using keywords such as "reports," "business reports," "company reports," or "organizational reports."
The reports you find could be about the organizations ' environmental sustainability efforts, their products, or any other aspect of their operations.
Compare the organization of the five reports you select. What similarities and differences do you see in the formatting of all these reports Make a table of your findings. Discuss your findings in small groups.
