Scott Ober of Ball State University, the author of Contemporary Business Communications, divides informative presentations into two distinct categories—reporting and explaining. He says that the reporting presentation brings the audience up to date on projects or events, telling how things are going. These situations might include shareholders meetings , executive briefings, or oral sales reports. The explanatory presentation provides information about products and procedures , rules and regulations, operations, and other necessary data. 1 .
