*Start with the research source provided. You must conduct more research about the company, its decision, the law, ethics, and issues in the case study for your presentation. Initial material is provided to you to get you started. Focus on the specific pivotal decision the company made.
When you have selected your case study, research and cover the points listed in the instructions below in a well-developed PowerPoint presentation. These instructions provide guidance about how to organize the slides and the minimum number of slides for the required content. Key points are to be presented on slides with explanation and analysis expanded in your Speaker’s Notes narrative.
INSTRUCTIONS: (Also see Grading Rubric.)
This 12-slide outline is the minimum; you might wish to use additional slides for some segments of the presentation for a complete presentation.
The outline identifies how to organize the content areas of your presentation. You will see that the Grading Rubric follows this outline.
Each slide should display key bullet points supplemented with Speaker’s Notes in the speaker’s note space below the slide or as an audio or video narrative.
Slide 1 – Title Slide (title of topic/presentation, your name, course, prof., date) (I will fill this out, leave blank slide)
Slide 2 – Agenda slide – Simple outline of the presentation so your audience knows the topic scope and where you are going.
Slide 3 – at least one slide – (An introduction of the company) Introduce and briefly describe the company, the nature of its business and corporate business environment. Do not spend a lot of time on the history of the company as a business, but do describe necessary history sufficiently to create meaningful context. For some of these case studies, history will have significance.
Slides 4 & 5 –  at least 2 slides: explain facts of the case study; identify the decisional dilemma and succinctly state the 2 choices the company had at the critical point in time; the choice the company made and why; the choice the company should and could have made instead (and why). Tip: There is always a choice. Refer to definition of dilemma:
A problem in the decision-making process between two possible but undesirable options from an ethical perspective.
Slides 6 & 7 –  at least 2 slides: Identify and explain the statutes and regulations implicated and violated  – or potentially violated – by the company’s conduct. Be specific, and explain:
•    the purpose of the law; and 
•    how the company’s conduct violated or might have violated the law, and the consequences of violation
Slides 8 & 9 –  at least 2 slides:  Explain the ethical question/failure of the company’s decision, apart from violation of law. Present an analysis and explanation of an ethical course of conduct and reasoning that the company leadership could have followed  to reach the better decision you  identified above, to both follow the law and meet the higher goals of the company. Include in your explanation the definition and application of at least one specific ethical framework we have studied  that would have led to the better decision. (Examples: ethics of care, deontology, utilitarianism, virtue ethics, etc.)  It is NOT sufficient to simply say “exercise CSR” or “do the right thing.”) Analytically apply a specific framework.
Slide 10 – at least 1 slide: Recommend a take-away lesson for the business management of ANY company (not just this company in this situation) that is a lesson to be learned from this case study. What is a recommended business practice? Do not overly generalize.  Be specific. 
Slide 11 – at least 1 slide: Conclusion – your wrap-up—3 bullet points summation of case study relevancy; law/ethics; recommendation. As with other slides, expand narrative in Speaker’s Notes.
Slide 12 – at least 1 slide: References slide – References are listed on the Slide, not only in the Speaker’s Notes  
Minimum five (5) credible sources that support your material in the PPT. These should also be cited in the PPT Speaker’s Notes to support your narrative, in APA short form. If you are giving an audio presentation, you can include a source by saying something like, “An article by ___________ in ____________ explains how the ethic of care supports successful management decisions.” Also include where necessary on your slides.
AVOID THESE SOURCES: Dictionaries, encyclopedias — including Investopedia in general. Wikis, and the like, and Internet generic quick-answer websites are not acceptable to populate your Reference list. AI-generated material as source and narrative is not acceptable.  Use your text, required readings, peer-reviewed articles, statutory and case law, and other credible sources for your research authority.
If you were giving this presentation to your CEO, s/he might well say, “You know, I can read a dictionary. I can chat with a robot myself. I need to hear what the experts and the law are saying about this. And I want to hear your own original analysis. It’s what I’m paying you for.” If you were the CEO what would be your expectation?
APA 7th Edition formatting required for References citations, but a “hanging indent” is not required and citations can be single spaced. Refer to the help sources provided.

In your initial post, describe the technology used on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis for a business. This could be where you work, or it could be the communication you receive on a regular basis from a company of which you are a customer. What does that communication look like? What forms of digital communication are used? How often? Is this the most effective means of communication given the audience? Why or why not? Can you defend the idea of reducing the methods of communication? Should they increase the methods of communication?

a)  Always work with a 3-page outline.
b)  On the first page, type or dictate (the heading (using the DICTATE feature on MS WORD)
c)  On the first inner page, place the exact title to the essay(s) assigned using that as a check to ensure that you are strictly writing and addressing the issues emerging from the essay. What is raising doubt leave out. Place and modify your headings 1 through 5 as your readings and resources direct you. Let your last heading be entitled “Conclusion.”
d)  Label the last  page with the word “References”
e)  As you read from the reading resources and videos, update the FULL reference of each as you go. Put the relevant notes under the correct subheading or section in your outline.
f)      Complete the Abstract last — after you have finished writing and proofreading the entire essay with the free grammarly.com app.
g)    Use the first paragraph to set the parameters (boundaries) for your discussion of the assigned topic(s) with important definitions (use businessdictionary.com and Investopedia.com for definitions). Guide the reader as to what is to be expected in the subsequent sections of your essay(s) all the way to the concluding section.
 

  BBA 329 LABOR RELATIONS – TERM PAPER REQUIREMENTS
A term paper on a specific Labor Relations (Union-Employer Relations) Topic is REQUIRED for this course.  
The term paper is a research paper which focuses on a “Labor Relations (Union-Employer Relations)” topic.  The term paper MUST NOT be treated as a creative writing assignment. Your emphasis should be on facts, information, and evidence that involve Labor Relations (Union-Employer Relations).
The term paper MUST include a brief summary (outline) of issues in your paper which also pertains to the topic and concepts expressed in your textbook. (The outline is similar to an executive summary, which should be located at the beginning of the term paper.)
Must include an Executive Summary of issues in your paper.
The executive summary belongs at the beginning of your paper. “An executive summary provides an overview of a larger document or research and is usually the first thing your reader will see.”
The term paper must be typewritten, and where appropriate, MUST contain reference sources, endnotes and a bibliography. (References, bibliographies, etc.  are separate and do not count toward your page requirements) 
The term paper MUST be a minimum of 4 full pages and a maximum of 5 pages in length, double spaced 
(multiple spaces between lines will adversely affect the grade of your paper), and must have 11-12” font (larger fonts will adversely affect your grade). Also, headings must not take up substantial sections of the page.  
Again, the reference / bibliography page is separate and does not count as a part of the 4-5 page paper.
To successfully complete the assignment, conduct research on the topic and report on your findings.  In so doing, include key points from your textbook.  Do not use your textbook as your only source of information. Provide an analysis of the subject matter where necessary, make Labor Relations-related recommendations etc. 
I am looking for your analysis of the research findings and am interested in your demonstrating what you have learned rather than your repeating information found on the internet. All paraphrases or quotations must be accompanied by in-paragraph citations and a bibliography/reference list. Quoted and paraphrased material are to be used sparingly. See syllabus for guidelines on the use of quoted material. Avoid “over-quoting” or excessive use of others’ material with quotation marks around it. Use your own words!
All responses to the term projects requirements are to be written thoroughly with complete sentences and appropriate English mechanics. Do not use bullet points, graphs, charts or pictures! Express thoughts clearly in paragraph format. Be descriptive and provide details and thorough explanations. Also, pay attention to grammar, spelling, syntax, organization of ideas, etc.  
Wikipedia is not an acceptable source. Please refrain from using it. Must include your assessment / analysis (your view point) of the subject matter/research where necessary, make labor relations-related recommendations, etc.
