A summary is a shortened version of a text that highlights its key points.
The primary purpose of a summary is to "give an accurate, objective representation of what the work says." As a general rule, "you should not include your own ideas or interpretations".
A summary is a brief overview of the key points of an article, report, or proposal.
"A good quality summary should accurately reflect the purpose and content of your project. . . . It is very important to note that a summary should never contain information that is not included in the body of your project itself."
"A good summary will tell you what the key issue that's addressed is, it'll give you an idea of the methods that have been used and the conclusions that have been arrived at. So that summary ought to tell someone whether it's worth them spending part of their life reading this paper."
Each proposal you write will focus on unique ideas. Therefore, the content of your summaries will differ. Nonetheless, summaries should focus on the following:
a) the problem necessitating your proposal;
b) your suggested solution;
c) the benefits derived when your proposed suggestions are implemented.
!!!The purpose of the summary is to provide your readers with an easy-to-understand outline of the entire proposal's focus. Your executives want the bottom line, and they want it quickly. They don't want to waste time deciphering your high-tech hieroglyphics. Therefore, either avoid all high-tech terminology completely or define your terms parenthetically.
