Assignment 1: Final Team Presentation

Your Final Team Presentation involves preparing a team Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation. The key is to

provide the future direction for your business based on the outcome of the Marketplace simulation results from

Quarter 4 and connect your strategy with the course concepts learned in GB500. Your Microsoft PowerPoint

presentation should be no less than 12 and no more than 21 slides including references. Here is a great

reference from the Purdue Global Library to help you in creating an effective presentation.

Final Presentation Submission

● One team member should post the final draft version of your team’s PowerPoint presentation, with

annotated notes, to the Final Team Discussion Area under Unit 6 by Saturday evening.

● Each team member should please remember to individually respond to two other teams’ presentations,

just as you do for other discussion topics, as this is part of the grade. Your feedback can include

suggestions on how to improve the content of the presentation, APA corrections, and feedback on the

format of the PowerPoint to make it more successful.

● The team can choose to incorporate these suggestions into the final presentation. One team member

should post the final PowerPoint presentation to the Unit 6 Assignment 1: Final Presentation Dropbox

Assignment 2: Peer Evaluation Process Instructions

Teams in the contemporary business environment need to be effective quickly. Musselwhite (2007) states:

“People must work closely together, wear many hats, and work effectively across the organization to get

tasks accomplished quickly enough to remain competitive” (para 2). Factors that aid in this effectiveness

are self-assessment and timely and accurate feedback to team members and leaders.

In the fast-paced game play of the Marketplace simulation, as well as when working on your Team

Introduction Paper and Final Team Presentation, each team member must be able to give objective

feedback, receive this feedback in a spirit of continuous improvement, and make changes to increase team

effectiveness.

There will be three times when formal feedback is required for all team members: Units 2, 4, and 6.

The evaluation process rarely takes more than 10 minutes to complete, and it provides comprehensive and

targeted feedback to each team member. The evaluation survey will ask you questions in these areas and

will be used to help evaluate team performance in the simulation and the Final Team Presentation.

Part I How does this person work on the team?

Part II How does this person work with you?

Part III How helpful has this person been to the team?

Part IV Has this person’s behavior weakened the performance of the team?

Part V Please offer comments about teammate’s performance, including his or her strength as a team

member and areas for improvement. Please offer comments about teammate’s performance, including

his or her strengths as a team member and areas for improvement. In your comments, please include

information on all team-related activities, not just simulation game play.

Evaluation Process

1. Your instructor will create an evaluation, and you will receive an email from your instructor through

Marketplace when it is available. You will be able to complete the evaluation the next time you log

Unit 6

GB500 | Business Perspectives

into the Marketplace simulation. You must complete the evaluation by Tuesday night at 11:59 ET.

Please do not complete the evaluation prior to the end of the unit so you can provide

complete and comprehensive data.

2. The welcome screen will take you through each step of the process, which includes confidentially

evaluating all team members and yourself.

3. The scores will be tabulated, and you will receive a report that contains the information collected from

the evaluation.

4. Note: You cannot see your scores until you have completed all of your Peer Evaluations.

Grading

You will receive points for completing the online Peer Evaluation during Units 2, 4, and 6. In addition, the

three Peer Evaluations that you complete will help the instructor assess the participation grade in the Unit 6

Final Team Presentation.
