HINTS/General guidance:

You can only do this analysis by explaining the interaction between the company’s actions and abilities and the country’s attributes.

For the 4 adjustments leaders must make when expanding internationally (Burkus, 2012). Recommend 1 specific leadership action for each adjustment, such as developing a global mindset, developing sensitivity to cultural differences, decentralizing, deciding on the level of involvement, etc.

 

The slides should contain only essential information and as little text as possible. Do not design a slide presentation made up of long sentences. Use bullet points. Cite references (in the speakers’ notes) to support your assignment.

 

Use Speakers’ notes to convey the details you would give if you were presenting. 

You need to explain fully and support your statements.

Speakers’ notes need to be on each slide and they need to fully explain every point on the slide. 

This is particularly important since you (the author/expert) are not there to explain why every bullet point is on the slide and why it matters. The presentation is a communications tool and needs to stand on its own without the reader needing to make assumptions. The reader may be familiar with the company, but they are not the expert.

 

All Presentations need to be summited as MS PowerPoint files.

I need to see your Speakers’ notes and ADA alternative text.

See: PowerPoint and Other Presentations below for additional information.

 

Include Images. This is not an essay on slides.

Do not put too much text in the slide.

Remember that your slides need to be simple, consistent, readable by anyone, supported and explained in the speakers’ notes.

Images need to be ADA compliant and have alternate text
