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.

Human Resources management strategy at Nestle S.A.
The Nestlé Corporation as we know it today was formed in 1905, when a merger combined two preexisting companies which were originally formed in 1866. The Anglo-Swiss Milk Company was created by brothers George Page and Charles Page, while Farine Lactée Henri Nestlé was the brainchild of Henri Nestlé. By combining the assets and expertise of two established, successful companies, the newly formed Nestlé S.A. positioned itself for immediate growth within the European continent, but the advent of two World Wars within a span of four decades forced the company’s upper management to explore expansion to markets in North and South America, Asia and Africa. A series of major mergers and acquisitions followed the conclusion of WWII, and Nestlé soon expanded through its purchase of competing firms like Crosse and Blackwell (1950), Findus (1963), Stouffer’s (1973), Carnation (1984), San Pellegrino (1997), and Ralston Purina (2002). What had begun as a simple purveyor of milk chocolate and condensed milk in the 19th century had flourished into one of the world’s true multinational conglomerates, with Nestlé know holding vested interests in markets such as bottled water, pet food, makeup and cosmetics, candy bars, ice cream, breakfast cereals, and dozens of other product lines (Rapoport, 1994, p. 3).
