Abstract
The results of an empirical study made of the report-reading habits of a group of Westinghouse managers are presented. The author systematically documents two types of information: (1) how managers read reports; and (2) what managers look for in reports. Useful checklists for various types of reports are provided and a section on the responsibility of management in the reporting process is included.
