BA 301 – Research & Analysis of Business Problems

Final Group Presentation Guidelines

The Task:

I am purposefully not providing much guidance for this group assignment. It’s up to you and your group to take ownership of this task. That task, as a group, is to analyze and discuss your assigned “PSU Administration Issue” and present to the class a summary problem analysis and solution. For all of you wondering about the “right” answers and how I will grade the presentations – there are no right answers and the grading criteria are described below. Apply the problem-solving framework from class and develop a rational, well-justified recommendation. Therefore, it’s important that you clarify symptoms (the gap) and causes, develop and present some alternative solutions, choose one, and support your decision. I will provide a basic outline of the presentation in class as guidance.

The Presentation:

The presentation should be short (10 minutes, plus or minus two minutes), and should use PowerPoint. One person from your group will present your proposal during the last week of class. Think about what we’ve talked about regarding proposals and reports. Keep it short and sweet. You will be graded on the 1.) design/layout quality of the PowerPoint presentation, 2.) skill/preparation of the presenter, and 3.) logic/quality/substance of your argument. No handout or Executive Summary is required. Use the organizational strategies discussed in class. Please send your Powerpoint file to me by 5:00 PM on the night before your presentation. Provide a 3-slide per page, black & white handout to me on the day of your presentation. If you have questions about this assignment – ask early!
