Note: If you are using a tablet or smartphone  you will need to email the video file to yourself, then save it to a  computer in order to upload to Blackboard. You may want to upload your  video to a file sharing service, such as Dropbox, if your email will not let you send a large video file. Dropbox is accessible from all smartphones and tablets from the Dropbox app.

Once you are ready to upload your video to Blackboard, view the Kaltura video tutorial found in your online course shell (Week 9). Please use the following naming convention in the popup window for your video once it is finished uploading:

Title: Your First Name, Your Last Name – Challenges in the Business Environment

Description: First Name, Last Name – BUS475 Assignment 2 (Date Uploaded ex. 1-14-2018)

Part 1: Video Presentation OR Paper
 Prepare and present a video that is a maximum of five to seven (5–7)  minutes OR write a four to six (4–6) page paper in which you:

  1. List specific changes that your company has made to its Code of  Conduct in recent years. Provide at least one (1) example of each  change.
  2. Explain the identified changes to the suppliers in such a way that  they will understand the standards that your company requires in order  to maintain their relationship with the company.

If you choose the written paper instead of the video, your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with  one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA  or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional  instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the  student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date.  The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required  assignment page length.

Specific Library Resources to help you get started

The Strayer University Library is accessible at research.strayer.edu.

A general introduction to the Strayer Library is available in your course shell on the left-hand menu under Research-Library.

  • Introductory Search - Use the home page’s search box to keyword search many, but not all, databases.
  • Targeted Search - Scroll to the bottom of the page for an A to Z  listing of all databases. Float over each link to see a description of  the database and click to load that particular database’s custom search  page. Custom search pages include both basic and advanced search  options.

These databases are only partially searchable through the general search bar. You will have to search them individually to find resources for your paper.

  • Nexis Uni - This contains legal information and would be useful to search for court cases in which your company has been involved.
  • Video Explaining Nexis Uni
  • Mergent Online - This has company info on both public and private companies. Fortune 500 can be public or private. Mergent  is known for financial and accounting info, but also has qualitative  information too. They offer news feeds, country reports on business  environments, industry-wide reporting, company reports, and Annual Reports—the  middle 3 are unique to this database. Starting with looking at a  company's annual report would be very useful for this assignment.  Industry reports would also be useful to see if your company is involved  in any industry-wide initiatives or is notable in its industry in any  way (could be good or bad.)
  • Instructional Videos on each of the databases:

American City Business Journals - This is probably  the most fun way to read business news by metro area. They have over 35  journals based around US cities. Look up the metro area your company is  associated with, go to ACBJ, then choose the applicable city, and search  for news articles.

Research Starters are like the academic version of Wikipedia.  Search on a topic to get an overview with links to other information  within that topic. It will help you get ideas for keywords for your own  searches and what you need to know in order to successfully write your paper.


Part 2: PowerPoint Presentation
Create a six to eight (6–8) slide PowerPoint presentation in which you:

  1. Summarize your chosen company’s Supplier Responsibility information.
  2. Discuss your company’s stance on each of the following areas:
    • Empowering Workers
    • Labor and Human Rights
    • Health and Safety
    • The Environment
    • Accountability
  3. Identify the key ways that your company’s Progress Report has changed since last year.
  4. Examine the manner in which your company’s Supplier Code of Conduct  helps the organization operate as a socially responsible organization.
  5. Provide detailed speaker notes of what you would say if you were delivering the presentation.
  6. Submit a reference page with at least three (3) quality references  from the past 2 years that you have used for this presentation / paper.  Note: Wikipedia and other websites do not qualify as academic resources.
    1. Tip: A good place to look for references is at the Strayer Library - research.strayer.edu
    2. Here is an introductory video on the library and how to use it: Online Library Resources at Strayer University.mp4

Your PowerPoint presentation must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Format the PowerPoint presentation with headings on each slide and  three to four (3–4) relevant graphics (photographs, graphs, clip art,  etc.), ensuring that the presentation is visually appealing and readable  from 18 feet away. Check with your professor for any additional  instructions.
  • Include a title slide containing the title of the assignment, the  student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date.  The title and reference slides are not included in the required slide  length.
