enough,="" it="" is="" hoped,="" to="" encourage="" the="" reader="" to="" want="" to="" delve="" further="" into="" the="" full="" body="" of="" the="" report.="" second,="" it="" emphasises,=""

of="" the="" report-writing="" process,="" although="" it="" is presented="" at="" the="" beginning,="" not="" at="" the="" end,="" of="" the="" document.="" the="" writing="" of="" the="" executive="" summary="" is="" not="" an="" easy="" task,="" as="" it="" requires="" considerable="" discipline="" to="" condense="" a="" large="" body="" of="" information="" into="" what="" should="" ideally="" be="" no="" more="" than="" one="" or="" two="" pages="" –="" or="" around="" 250-300="" words="" maximum.="" ·="" an="" important="" principle="" to="" bear="" in="" mind="" is="" that="" the="" executive="" summary="" must not contain="" any="" material="" that="" is not="" in="" the="" main="" body="" of="" the="" report.="" it="" should="" also="" follow="" the="" structure="" of="" the="" full="" report.="" in="" writing="" an="" executive="" summary,="" it="" is="" often="" found="" that="" some="" important="" information="" has="" been="" overlooked="" in="" the="" main=""

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
    This is a report on the video of a business case report. A video was provided for this report. That video was watched and has been thoroughly analyzed to understand the case and its problems cause of those problems to draw conclusions. The format has been followed relevant to a case study. Analyzing the issues
, attempt has been made to find the solutions for that kind of problems after analyzing the business model, strategies, organizational structures and other relevant information about the business.
At first the issues have been identified from the case that is what the problems were actually. Then the causes which gave rise to the problems have been found out, to understand the origin of the problem and get to the bottom of the issue. Then the alternatives have been discussed that is what would have happened if some different course of action was chosen that is if a different action would have been made the situations might have been different. Then the decision criteria have been discussed that is the important aspects which led to the decisions. Then solutions have been recommended to the problems faced along with the way to implement and implicate that solution.
ISSUES:
    In the given video, Sara Salomone, the director of the Fineness consulting is interviewed on her company and about the real life problem she faced. For doing any case study, it is very important to first understand what the issues actually are (Voss, 20101). The actual problems happening are to be identified first. So, for this case study as well, attempt has been made first to analyze the issues well, as stated by Sara Salomone.
The agency was finding work for a candidate who was a project director level with salary about half million. The agency contacted a few companies for him. He cleared a four stages interview process along with Hogan’s Assessment. As per Sara Solomone, the main problem why the candidate was unable to find the job was that the candidate was known to the business and he as well knew the business very well because of his high qualification and experience.
Initially for three to four months he was unable to find anything material. Since the agency was not hearing back from any company regarding the job for the candidate and the client almost made up his mind to leave Perth and go to Sydney, the agency encouraged him to contact an executive director of a company in Brisbane, whom the candidate knew personally for about 20 years. The agency initially applied for the candidate in that company and they advised the candidate to refer the agency to that director while communicating. The candidate went to Brisbane and he was appointed by the company.
But after the whole process of appointment, the invoices of the agency was outstanding for a long time and when they contacted the company, the HR informed that the executive directors of the company was unwilling to pay the full of the due amount to the agency. So, the agency faced the problem in recovering the fees from the company.
CAUSES:
    It is very important to analyze the causes for an issue to get to the bottom of the issue (Crowe, 2011). So, here attempt has been made to find exact causes as to why those issues as stated above occurred. As per Sara Salomone, whenever they were unable...
