Abstract
The conclusion is the last part of your text. As such, it should represent its high point. Bear in mind that academics and businessmen, hard pressed for time, often limit their reading of articles and reports to the very minimum in making a preliminary assessment of the importance of a text, they may well take in no more than the title, something of the introduction, but in any case the conclusion, for it is in the conclusion that the relevance of the text for its readership is most powerfully enunciated. The purpose of this chapter is to offer some suggestions on how to write effective conclusions, conclusions that are formulated in such striking, forceful terms that they leave a lasting impression upon your reader.
