7.0 Reporting module

Developing a system of reporting is a critical component of the success of any small- or medium-sized enterprise or social organization. Without accurate information, it is very difficult to know which activities and best practices to continue and which parts of your operation you need to improve. There are many kinds of reports that can help you do this, and we have already discussed several in other portions of the Commercialization Toolkit. In this module, we discuss the value of metrics in general and then focus on a few commercially important management reports.

There are three components to this module:

7.1 The value of metrics

7.2 Sales reports

7.3 Profit and loss reporting
