Please refer to your syllabus for the assignment. PLEASE keep in mind my expectation for CheckPoint assignments: While it doesn't say in your syllabus, please be sure to respond your CheckPoint with at least 150-300 compiled words and APA FORMAT in your Speaker notes section.
This assignment is 5-7 PowerPoint Slides (you are welcome to submit more), however it requires you to submit DETAILED SPEAKER NOTES. These assignments are a good way to practice your written communication and presentation skills. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.
Background:
Consider the following scenario: You work for a company that manufacturers skateboards. Until now, your company has only sold their skateboards domestically, but now the CEO is interested in exporting the skateboards to Australia. The CEO asks you to design a Microsoft® PowerPoint ® presentation to present at the next board of directors meeting. This presentation will serve to educate the directors in the matters of foreign investment and international investment theory. At the end of the presentation, you must make a recommendation of whether or not you think the company should enter the foreign market and support your decision with solid information.
Create a 5-to 7-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint ® presentation that includes detailed speaker's notes. The presentation must meet all of the requirements set forth in the above scenario.
Post the presentation as an attachment.
