: Each individual student will select a recent (published in the previous 6 months) business article from a leading news source or business journal that relates to business and society. Presentations should include: a) the main ideas in the article, b) how this article relates to what you have learned in this class, and c) what you believe is the main “take-away” from this article.  If possible, please try to select an article that “ties in” to the day’s topic – e.g., if we are studying Ethics and Ethical Reasoning that class period, select an article that relates to business ethics. 

 

Your presentation should be between five and ten minutes long and you should encourage class discussion with one or two follow-up questions.  Presentation dates are listed in section VII. Course Outline below.  I will use the following grading rubric for your reports:   Article Facts (40%).  Appropriateness of article, and accurate reporting on facts in the article.  Additional research might be necessary for you to thoroughly understand your topic.   Analysis (30%).  Relating the article’s topics to concepts in our course; doing additional research as required to supplement the information in the article; drawing conclusions based on your growing knowledge of business and society.  Some examples: 

 

• If you are reporting on one company in an industry, what are other companies in the industry doing?  Can you summarize this information on a chart? • If we recently discussed stakeholder analysis and stakeholder mapping, does your article lend itself to any analysis based on these tools? 

 

Presentation Quality (30%).  Evidence of your preparation and rehearsal of presentation; use of PowerPoint slides, charts, graphs, props or other visuals as appropriate.  Handling of Question and Answer period following your presentation.   • Can you put any of the information in the article into a useful graph or chart? • Can you summarize the main points in a PowerPoint slide? • If you are talking about a new piece of equipment that a company is using, can you find a picture of it? • Can you include any physical props in your presentation? Some resources for these articles include:  

 

• The Wall Street Journal • The New York Times • Google News https://news.google.com . Example searches: “corporate governance”, “business government relations”, or “employee relations” • SmartBrief on Sustainability https://www2.smartbrief.com/getLast.action?mode=sample&b=sustainability  • Sustainable Brands (http://www.sustainablebrands.com/news) 

 

Please use the discussion thread provided in Blackboard to reserve your topic and source material.  Your topic / source material must be unique; if your topic has been taken by another student prior to your posting, you must find another topic. If you have any question about the appropriateness of your planned topic, please see me for approval prior to preparing your talk.
