• Your executive summary is your pitch. You’ve heard of and probably even given
an “elevator pitch.” Write your business plan’s executive summary like it’s an
elevator pitch that you’ve had the time to edit to perfection. It should introduce
you, your business and your problem and solution, but the purpose of writing
an executive summary is also to deliver a hard sell. Convince your reader here
that you have a great idea they should invest their time and/or money in.
• Write it last. Even though the executive summary is at the beginning of a
finished report, many people choose to write the executive summary after
they’ve written everything else. Ideally the executive summary is short—just a
page or two—and highlights the points you’ve made elsewhere in your report,
so if you save it for the end, it will be quick and easy.
What Should An Executive Summary Include?
1. Problem
The most important thing is to identify a problem that is worth solving. If your solution
doesn't doesn’t solve a problem that potential customers have, you don’t have a
viable business. Simple as that.
2. Solution
Once you’ve clearly defined the problem you’re solving, you need to explain your
solution. A clear problem statement will help you focus your solution on solving that
one problem, and not stretch the solution to solve multiple potential problems. Try to
describe your product or service and how it functions as a solution in just a few
sentences or bullet points.
3. What are the major findings
This section lets the reader understand what the data is behind the problem and the
possible solution that you are proposing. This can be done in terms of time, money,
employees ect
4. Recommendations
In this section discuss your recommendations and why management should proceed
with them. This could be done by explain how the process will change and the results
from your employee cost calculation.
Common Mistakes
1. Repeating the content of the executive summary almost verbatim near the
beginning of the report
4. Using different terms in the executive summary from those in the report.

Technical efficiency
Economic efficiency refers to the use of resources so as to
maximize the production of goods and services.
Productive efficiency occurs when the economy is utilizing all
of its resources efficiently, producing most output from least input.
Technical efficiency – This can be defined as achieving the
maximum output from a finite set of inputs. Technical
efficiency focuses on trying to eliminate duplication and waste
within an individual process.
Distributive efficiency occurs when goods and services are
received by those who have the greatest need for them.
Dynamic Efficiency is concerned with the productive efficiency
of a firm over a period of time. A firm which is dynamically efficient will
be reducing its cost curves by implementing new production
processes.
