What is Process Essays (Examples)?

A process essay is fundamentally different from other types of academic writing assignments. In fact, it is closer to technical writing than to other types of academic writing. That is because a process essay describes a process that leads to a specific outcome. There are two approaches to the process essay. The first approach is often referred to as a directional process essay and is the simpler of the two approaches; it describes the steps necessary to complete a task. The second approach to the process essay does more than outline steps, it also analyzes or explains the steps involved in the process. The wording of your assignment will be important when you are trying to determine which approach to take while writing your process essay.

The introduction of your process essay needs to accomplish several things. First, it needs to introduce the process you are going to describe, and give background information about that process, when such information is necessary. Next, it needs to identify your audience. Identifying your audience does not require actually saying the targeted audience for your essay, but, if your reader needs a certain educational, technical, or professional background to understand the essay, then the introduction provides a great opportunity for you to provide that material.

The body of the essay involves your actual descriptions of the process. For simple directional process essays, the body of the essay involves a step-by-step description of each part of the process. For analytical process essays, in addition to outlining the steps you might explain them to the reader or analyze whether the steps are necessary to the process and make the process more efficient, or should be eliminated or changed in order to maximize efficiency and performance.

Finally, the conclusion of your essay will reiterate what you hope to achieve with the process described in the essay. If you have analyzed the process and found it lacking, the conclusion may also describe suggestions for further study or review.

Leadership and organizational structure

The hectic nature of coffee shops in airports is an excellent location to validate or refute a given company's stated vision, mission and values. Starbuck's has built one of the most valuable brands globally by balancing their exceptional focus on sustainability and concern for the environment on one hand, and their continued emphasis on customer service and unique drinks, both hot and cold, always being available and customizable to any customers' requests. In observing a Starbucks in a local airport during a recent very hectic Saturday morning, the vision, mission and values of the company and its culture became very clear. While this Starbucks, tucked down at the very end of an airport concourse, did an excellent job of managing and fulfilling orders, it was obvious it was too thinly staffed for the location and traffic. This immediately became apparent when the young man taking the orders was also alternating with a barista and cashier role while two other ladies continued to take orders and fulfill coffee orders. It was evident that in the Starbucks culture the perception of lost time with customers is heavily stressed, as no customer waited more than a minute before being acknowledged, even during peak periods. The cultural values of responsiveness, respect for the customer, efficiency and speed of process came out during the most stressful times of the morning. What also became apparent was that training had been exceptionally strong at this specific Starbucks as the young man acting as a barista knew exactly how and when to start and stop blenders, espresso machines and grinders, orchestrating up to three different tasks at the same time. The culture of training was also evident in how quickly each of the workers could quickly substitute into a process that was underway while another workers was on another customer order. All of these seemed orchestrated, yet as the morning went on it appeared that this team had worked for hours together and intuitively knew how to support each other.
