Dear Group Members- This is your assignment for the Presentation for this course

Dear Group Members-
This is your assignment for the Presentation for this course. It is a collaborative project. Your Group members can be seen in the “People” tab in Canvas — if you look at the top of the page you will see “Groups” — this enables you to see your Group members. You can then visit the Group. You can create your Presentation in “Collaborations”, which leads you to a site where you can access Google Docs, from which you can access “Slides”, which allows you to create a Power Point slideshow. If you decide to use MS Office (PowerPoint) or similar, I have no objection.
Once you have completed the project, please upload it to the Presentation assignment for me to grade — there is no need for all presenters to upload your Presentation separately.
Please make sure that ALL participating Presenters’ names are on the from page of the Presentation. I have my own list, but this can alert me to a possible situation in which a Presenter did not take part in the work for any reason. Please email me separately if this happens in your Group.
Your topic is
“JBS (Brazil)”
Please make sure you look at the resources available for you to do the Presentation and establish contact with your fellow group members immediately. Make sure you describe in your Presentation the elements required in the Guidelines posted in the assignment.
You should be able to do the Presentation through the Collaborations section of Canvas, as long as all members have a Gmail account.
Please make sure you look at the “Industrial Zoology” ppt in the Presentation Assignment (also in “Modules”, after Ch 16, under the assignment Presentation), as it contains critical information necessary to do this assignment correctly.
Follow the directions in the Assignment. Make sure to write References in a standard format on a “Works Cited” page at the end.
You should all have received in your HCC email your Presentation assignment for this course. It is a collaborative project. Your Group members can be seen in the “People” tab in Canvas — if you look at the top of the page you will see “Groups” — this enables you to see your Group members. You can then visit the Group. You can create your Presentation in “Collaborations”, which leads you to a site where you can access Google Docs, from which you can access “Slides”, which allows you to create a Power Point slideshow.
Your group should create a Title slide plus 10-15 slides (plus additional slides for Works Cited) with a moderate amount of explanatory text. Please follow Guidelines with respect to Works Cited and Analysis.
Grading Rubric: in three equal parts (too short Presentations will have reduced credit):
Presentation considerations (33%): Presentation look, knowledge of the topic, picture vs text balances (generally Power Point Presentations, Prezi, or similar software). Should include PICTURES, and not too much text. Use slides as an outline, supplemented with bullet points or notes.
2. Research (33%): A “Works Cited” page must be included, with not fewer than three (3) academic-level references, whether online or hardcopy, PLUS a reference to the specific relevant section of the Textbook — for a total of (4) references– Wikipedia is NOT acceptable as a reference, NOR ANY dictionary, NOR is a blog, nor general news sites such as Fox News, USA Today, Huffington Post, etc. You can use materials put online by the company or organization, especially Annual Report or information for investors, but this is NOT intended to be a marketing piece for the company and should include negative as well as positive points. The Economist is fine, as are The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Business Week, and other reputable business-oriented publications. “Works Cited” page MUST be included. Simply listing websites is NOT ACCEPTABLE — they must be identified clearly, stating the writer if known, publication, date, etc, as with any normal reference. Use MLA or Chicago Style or similar rules for references.
3. Analysis (33%): How the selected entity is described as relating to a “market type” as studied in our Economics class as shown in the “Industrial Zoology” PPT, using a graphic representation or verbal description.
Convey the following information:
1. Identify
a. the company or organization’s “market type”, such as Perfect Competition, Monopoly, Oligopoly or Monopolistic Competition, plus
b. whether the company is a Privately-owned Enterprise, Public listed company, Government entity or Non-Governmental Organization, and
c. whether the product it purveys is a good or a service, and d. Is the product a private good, a public good, a Common Resource or a Club Good/Natural Monopoly?
2. Present information (if available) about
a. the Industry in which that company or other entity fits,
b. the approx number of enterprises in it, and
c. the dollar value and percent of overall output represented by that industry, and
d. the approx. percent of output in that industry represented by your selected entity.
3. Describe
a. ownership, including names of largest shareholders if applicable,
b. the overall operations,
c. production (how it produces its product),
d. marketing strategy (how it spreads awareness of its product),
e. sales strategy (how it distributes its product), and
f. customer service (how it responds to product issues)
4. Explain how the company’s strategy does (or perhaps does not) fit within the structure of “market type” mentioned at the beginning
Please advise me if anyone in your group is not contributing — I will remove them.
