Within the recommendations they must have theoretical background to link why its a good recommendation so talking about different perspective . So when it comes to Discussing theory explain the theory don’t assume the reader understands what your saying analysis the pros and cons . Criticise the model .So what i mean by this is what have people said about the model whats been said has it been positive or negative so an example of this would be saying in 2010 their was a study saying this about the model but then further on in 2014 their was a study saying this about the model so criticising the model with research shown . Their needs to be a good flow in the report so always give a mini into to whenever your talking on a new section . So within the intro you can give the background of the company the several hr issues which are shown in the case study don’t explain the issues just touch on them briefly .
