There are two oral presentations per group:
Check in session: 28 July 2023, Oral presentation (15 minutes per group)
Final presentation: Week 5, Oral presentation (20 minutes per group)
Check in session: 28 July 2023, Oral presentation (15 minutes per group)
During the check in session, the group are requested to submit their findings based on the Harvard case analysis worksheet. The findings could also help the group to tell the mentor what information is possible for the group to gather, accumulate, and analyse and the areas where the group would need more guidance and help from the mentor. In this way, we can identify the possible gaps. This could be the interim report.
During the check in, the groups can also present the preliminary results about the case study (or progress report) and ask queries about the specific case questions, if any.
Preparation of power point slides for Case study check in session on 28 July 2023:
Slide 1: Name of the case study and names of group members
Slide 2: Identify the Problem
Every compelling case study research starts with a problem statement definition. In business settings, there’s no need to explain your methodology in-depth; however still start your presentation with a quick problem recap slide. Be sure to mention: What’s the purpose of the case study?
Slide 3: State the assumptions
The assumptions can be made with respect to the time (period of the case)
The role of the protagonist and the main actors in the case
The business environment
Slide 4: Present the planning process
Outline the business operations, the state of the market
Use Statista for statistics, forecasts and reports, if access available, https://www.statista.com/
