Board of Directors Presentation

You have done a tremendous amount of planning, research, and strategizing with your marketing plan in your role as the marketing manager. It is now time to present it to the company’s board of directors. You are to create a presentation in which you synthesize your research and recommendations from your previous assignments.

As you know, the ability to create and deliver strong presentations is a critical skill for all managers, leaders, and employees. You can improve this skill through practice. In this unit’s assignment, you will have the opportunity to hone your presentation skills.

In this assignment, create a PowerPoint presentation for the board of directors, and include speaker notes to elaborate on the information on each slide. Your presentation should contain at least 12 slides, not counting the title and reference slides.

You need to ensure that you address the items listed below.

  • Executive Summary: Use the Executive Summary from the Unit VII Project assignment to prepare and present the key elements associated with your research and recommendations in the marketing plan.
  • Remember to use bulleted text, and include a minimum of two graphics. Ensure you reference the sources for your images.
  • Include speaker notes for each slide of your presentation, to indicate what you want to convey in your presentation to the board of directors.
  • Your presentation should have a professional style and appearance.

You should consider adding audio to your slides to enhance the quality of the presentation. To view a tutorial on adding audio to a PowerPoint presentation, click here.

For this assignment to be authentic, you are highly encouraged to complete the audio portion of the assignment, as audio can increase the impact of your message. If you are unable to complete the audio portion, you are required to write out your full speech within the speaker notes section of PowerPoint underneath your slides. If you write out your full speech, you will be required to use appropriate sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation.

 
 
 

The Project

 

You have been asked by The New York Times to write a column for their series called “Who made that?” You have also been provided with an example of a recent column (https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/25/magazine/who-made-that-weather-icon.html & https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/01/magazine/who-made-that-french-press.html) and are expected to follow that style guide including the writing style and the layout and graphics.

 

 

 

The choice of the artifact is yours to make. However, it must be an everyday thing that you have used personally in the last 48 hours. You are asked to avoid complex artifacts such as planes, cars, smartphones and the like. Instead you are asked to select an artifact that is common to many people but that may have gone unnoticed by most people. You are also asked to contact the “editor” of The NY Times if you are unsure about the choice of the everyday thing. For the purpose of this project, the instructor will assume the role of the editor of The NY Times.

 

The process

 

Your article will take the form of a written description with pertinent information and may even include a simple analysis.

 

  1. Select an artifact that you have used in the last 48 hours;
  2. Write an article about the object in a narrative style. It should be simple, factual yet informative;
  3. Compile visual information that will accompany the article. Visuals should both support and complement the article (specific advertisement on the page need not be considered but there must be a space for it);
  4. Maintain correct and credible citations and/or references for the article. The latter must be provided as a separate page in your final PDF;
  5. The article should be no fewer than 350 words in length but no more than 500 words; and
  6. Upload one PDF file of your document below (20MB maximum); and

 

Checklist

 

  1. An artifact that you have used in the last 48 hours and that is appropriate for the project.
  2. An article (350-500 words) about the artifact, which is simple, factual yet informative.
  3. An image of the artifact; supportive images can also be included if appropriate.
  4. An overall graphic layout that replicates the model created by the New York Times.
  5. A list of references on a second page.
  6. Two pages in all.
  7. One PDF file for submission (no more than 20MB in size).
  8. Your submission must replicate in every way possible the graphic look of the articles that appear in The New York Times, both in writing style and in design composition, e.g. font type and font size. The greater the deviation from the original NYT article, the fewer points that will be earned.
  1. Ethical issues can arise between psychology and the legal system. What are some examples of ethical issues arising between these two entities? Use examples from this week’s required readings to support your claims. Consider the Christian principles of ethics and read the GCU Statement on the Integration of Faith and Work. How might a person with the Christian worldview address the ethical issues you provided?
  2. Compare the legal definition of insanity with the psychological concept of mentally ill. How do these two terms differ? How does this distinction affect the validity of the insanity defense?
