Prepare an informative and persuasive oral presentation
Investigate a business topic through a “perspective” of communication. Choose a topic that is interesting to you, informative and contributes to your class members’ understanding of one of the perspectives. These include ethical, technological, social & political, legal, global and cross-cultural, socialization for success and skills (See page 2 for details).
Prepare an informative and persuasive oral presentation (Between five & six minutes, presentations that exceed six and half minutes are subject to point deductions for overtime), incorporating professional visual aids (PowerPoint) and planning for a Q&A session. The presentation should identify a current workplace issue that can be defined through communication with some theoretical underpinning, informed by research and practical business experience and suggest ways of addressing it.
Topic Selection
Frame your topic for the oral presentation and the final written report by focusing on a single issue or problem. A productive approach is to work towards a suitable title while narrowing and focusing upon your subject area.
