Task requirements

OVERVIEW:

Presentation,1500 words

Following the assignment brief and guide, prepare an evidence-based business presentation on a
contemporary business issue including an evidenced reflection on your personal development across
the project.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TASK – WHAT YOU ARE BEING ASKED TO DO?

Each student will be required to prepare and deliver a 10-minute PowerPoint presentation in class to peer
students and tutors. The presentation development is divided into the following two tasks:

Task 1: Conduct research and prepare 6 slides on one of the following topics (1000 words in notes):

1.1 Business communication during a global pandemic and the potential issues.

1.2 Communicating with employees about significant company changes.

1.3 Negotiating an international and cross-cultural IT business deal.

Task 2: Reflecting upon your experiences from research for developing the PowerPoint presentation and the
feedback from your formative submissions (or in-class activities), prepare 3 more slides covering the
following three questions (3 slides with 500 words in the speaker's notes):

a. Based on the formative submissions feedback / experiences during your research for developing
PowerPoint presentation slides, what went well and why?

b. What improvements need to be made and why?

c. What action will you take to make suggested improvements?

When getting ready to upload your work on Moodle, you must transfer your PowerPoint presentation to a
Microsoft Word document along with the notes.

In order to develop a fully evidenced based and referenced PowerPoint presentation you will need
to undertake comprehensive research around your chosen topic. The presentation should make
use of visual aids appropriate to the business context and audience of the topic. You will be asked
to ‘defend’ your presentation in a Q&A session.

In developing the presentation, you should think about:


• your audience (based on the topic given) and appropriate modes of engaging
them.
• the language you use in the presentation.
• clarity in language, speech, and visuals.
• the level of detail you provide in visuals and in your notes.
• time management (making sure you get through what you need to in the time
provided).
• what is missing in the work – it is often not possible to cover everything so you
will have to choose what you leave out or only touch on; you might think about
signalling this as something to come back to in the Q&A.
• what kinds of questions you might be asked in the Q&A.

Referencing and research requirements


You must reference all information used in the presentation and the report, using the UoS Harvard
Referencing Guide. You are required to include ONLY ONE reference list page at the end of the
report arranged in alphabetical order irrespective of the sources and ONE Appendix page following
the reference list page.
