Question

Amal is preparing a report about a planned wave of layoffs at the plant where she works. she wants to use the inductive method. how should she structure the report?

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: lay out the supporting reasons in careful order; state the primary message

In inductive method, we should provide the readers with theories, data, and observations before moving to make a conclusion. In this method, the conclusion would be located at the end of the reports and the readers would have to read all the reasons before reaching to the conclusion.

Answer 2

In inductive reasoning, the premises are seen as supplying strong evidence for the truth of the conclusion. The conclusion is definite, but the truth may be probable, based on the available evidence. So she might say, that based on the past history of the company involved, whenever the company is losing money for a given length  of time, there are layoffs, so in these similar circumstances it is probable that these planned layoffs will occur.
