Compare and contrast drawing conclusions and making recommendations in a report.

A conclusion is a logical interpretation of the facts and other information in a report.A conclusion must be based strictly on the information in your report.Don't ignore any of the information you've presented,and don't add any new information.Moreover,a conclusion must be logical,meaning it must follow accepted patterns of inductive or deductive reasoning.Whereas a conclusion interprets information,a recommendation suggests what to do about the information.Credible recommendations are based on logical analysis and sound conclusions.They also are practical and acceptable to your readers.When making a recommendation,be certain you have adequately described the steps that come next.Don't leave your readers wondering what they need to do in order to act on your recommendation.
