(Webcam) Conference Table Status Report Presentation - {MAJOR PRESENTATION #4}
/ last updated 11/6./22 / Match-ups & Companies finalized / some Case studies still pending / Submissions & presentation schedule - updated
Shortcut to the "Shortcuts" {** go directly to: this semester's teams & chosen topics} ongoing updates
|
||||
|
This is another multi-part/multi-submission project. In past semesters, problems have occurred when teammates did not keep each other "in the loop" about task completion, making deadlines, troubleshooting tech problems & similar items that need to be coordinated between the partners. Accomplishing that coordination is one of the learning objectives to this assignment-- in addition to another opportunity to increase your communication proficiency. For that reason, this presentation will use somewhat different submission procedures than the ones used earlier this semester. In order to ensure that all members of a team are completely aware of all relevant factors for this project & presentation, most items should be emailed directly to the Professor rather than submitted in a drop off spot. This also means the sender should ALWAYS copy ("cc") the partner(s) whenever submitting an emailed item. This applies to: (1) Notifying the professor of the names of the person(s) you are working with ONLY NECESSARY IF THERE ARE TRIAD CHANGES (2) Notifying the professor of you & your partner's selected company + issue + type of presentation [see due date above] (3) Submission of the Written case study [see due date above] (4) your the presentation's Meeting Agenda. [ Submitting individual speaker's outlines is optional [see due date above]
**THE PRESENTATION

Since the Partnered speakers are in separate locations and might not might not have the technology & capability to pre-record portions of their presentation with a side-by-side ,split screen, the actual delivery options are as follows: for either option, READ, READ, & then READ CHAPTER 28. option a> [default] During the Virtual class session via MS Teams, each team will present live-- i.e. simulating a situation where you are giving a report via a teleconference. Presenters should decide in advance how they are dividing the content. One choice is for one person to talk for half of the slot and then hand off to the other presenter. However, sometimes speakers choose to switch back and forth handling different segments of the agenda. The Report portion of the presentation will be followed by live Question & Answer/Critique facilitated by a designated moderator. UPDATE: LaunchPad also has the ability to capture a multiple camera presentation.option b> A Team can decide to pre-record the presentation in a "split screen" technique-simulating a WebEx/Zoom/MSTeams/Go-React {in LaunchPad} /Webex-type presentation. The Professor should be notified a.s.a.p. Email the videofile (or a link) to the Professor no later than 11:00pm the night before your designated presentation date. Ensure you have saved the file with a setting that allows the SHU population access (you can go back & restrict the access after we complete the unit & all peer evaluations are completed.) The video will be played in class to be followed by the live Q & A & critique. In the event of technical problems with playback, the presentation will need to be given live instead- so be ready . If possible, portions of presentations might be video recorded & saved to a file which will be made accessible to each speaker. ***EITHER WAY, THE TONE OF THE PRESENTATION SHOULD BE PROFESSIONAL AND ENERGETIC AND AUDIENCE-CENTERED.

time limit (adjusted for triad format)
types of presentation formats possible
expectations re: presentational tone
Click for a guidesheet for self-recording presentations.
*Presentation format types: All include some variation on Informative speaking:
(1) proposal for a solution ,
(2) staff report ,
(3) progress report, and
(4) crisis-response
presentation.
According to your textbook authors, these are four of the "five most common types of presentations in the
business and professional arena.
*Partner component: For these presentation projects, you will be partnered with a classmate(s) to complete both the preparation steps and the actual presentation which will be presented live using a remote delivery. If you know who you want to work with, [ AND if that differs from the current triads] email the Professor no later than 10/27/22-9pm. After that, if necessary remaining class members will be adjusted as necessary by the Professor. Current matchups & topics will be listed at bottom of this document.
*Pre-Analysis CASE STUDY component {a psuedo-ethnography}: Below is a list of contemporary companies/institutions who have generated some sort of news coverage in the past months: e.g. Innovations, Organizational Initiatives, Corporate Damage Control, Downsizing, etc.,etc. Each set of partners will select an entity from the list (You are welcome to select a different relevant company but must receive Professor approval of topic before proceeding). The team's research, case study, and "webcam" presentation all will center on that same chosen entity. If you are unsure of the how to configure a CASE STUDY write up, click this link for some F.Y.I's .

*Visual aid component: Optional, but you may want to use, if appropriate, for clarifying the data aspects of your message. If using, be sure you know how to "share your screen."
*Maintaining appropriate professional "tone": Be careful NOT to begin your talk with casual phrasing or colloquialisms. No "Hi guys" or How ya doing today" etc. Attire should also be appropriate for the setting (conference room/ news conference/ division meeting/ webinar, etc)
*STEPS & SUBMISSIONS:

| SUBMISSION #1 = Email (cc your partners) your choice -of-company to the Professor no later than _Sun 10/30/22--9pm__. Company selections are are "first come, first served", so be sure you get an explicit OK from the Professor. | |
| <2> | Each set of Partners researches the
company's background & its recent
in-the-news-type occurrences. Jointly write up a summary in case study
format. (approx 1 to 1½
BE SURE the case study is structured appropriately & that it includes some indication of demographics of the company: what the company does/makes/sells, the number of employees it has, its location, and its current project(s). Include an appropriate bibliography/list of references. |
| At the end of the case study write-up, you should specify what type of (oral report) presentation you are planning. & whether you are addressing an Internal or an External audience. The four(4) primary presentation formats are listed above. | |
|
SUBMISSION #2 =
Each
team/triad emails the professor its Case Study write-up (one per
team) no later than 11/4/22--11:59pm.
(cc your partners)
|
|
| <3> |
Along with your partner(s) prepare an Interesting
& engaged Oral Report presentation. Utilize the guidelines
in CHAPTERS 29 & 30. All members should receive equal
talk-time (approximately) , but please note the overall,
total
time of the presentation is ONLY 7-10 minutes-per
team |
| <3.A> |
SUBMISSION #3 = By 9:00am (BB=12:00pm) on your Day of Presentation (section AA - by Noon), the team's presentation plan is due. (This should look more like an meeting agenda (rather than the speaker/extemporaneous outline we have been using so far). There is an example on: P. 399print / p.398ebook: O'Hair, et al. 8e [ 7e = p.404]. LIVE-REMOTE Presentations begin Mon 11/7/22 These will be done live via MS Teams. See PRESENTATION SCHEDULE |
| <4> | In order to give you a brief sense of how you look in a more formal reporting situation, these presentations might be videorecorded in a very simple way. Details to be reviewed in class. Full class session will be recorded. |
| <5> | Grading Rubric: click here for a general look at the grading criteria. Note: Points are deducted for late submissions/completions of items. |
| <6> | One way or the other, these presentations wills involve on-camera delivery. As of now, LIVE delivery and/or Question & answer is planned-- probably via Microsoft Teams. In any case, review these "tips": Guidesheet for self-recording presentations |
Some FYIs
Business Presentations
The five most common types of presentations in the business and professional arena are: ( via O'Hair, et al., Chapter 30 [7th & 8th ed] )
sales presentation {n.a. for this project}
proposal [a recommended course of action. Depending upon context, in "real life" applications, the explanation of the proposal might be done separately from the persuasion to adopt the proposal.]
staff report, [ internal communication mode. ensuring appropriate company members have the information they need]
progress report, [ might be "internal" or "external" communication. Frequently used to provide an update on an innovation or initiative]
crisis-response presentation. [... should include which image-restoration strategies would be most effective for the target audience]
Any one of these presentations types might benefit from including a SWOT analysis. [if you are unfamiliar with this term, look it up]

What is a case study and when is it utilized?
A case study is a detailed analysis of a real (or realistic) business situation. It is written with a skillful but neutral tone and contains an objective narrative (i.e. story) of the factual details. Some recommended content for this project's case studies includes:

Case
studies are often used in learning environments in order to help students
understand the potential complexities of real-world business situations.
