Professional Business Oral Presentation: Chapter 14
Due in Week 8. For Chapter 14, you will present a 5-7 minute professional business oral presentation with multi-media slides.
Presented LIVE in class during week #8. Prepare a 5-7 minute professional business oral presentation over your analytical research report (the country you have researched).
Pretend you are briefing a colleague for their first interaction with people from this country. What should they expect? What are some findings, conclusions and recommendations you can provide the audience? Use the data you’ve been researching all term to present some interesting findings to the audience. Remember to keep the focus on the cultural dimensions of your country – do not present historical/geographical information and avoid any business plans.
You are required to have a multi-media visual aid which can be PowerPoint or Prezi. You must reference your visual aid throughout your presentation, so you will need enough slides to transition between your topics smoothly. You may use notes, but do not just read from your notes; if you do, you will receive a 25 pt. penalty. Also make sure to dress professionally; this is a business presentation.
Incorporate pictures and images, and most important reference your visual aid during the presentation. You must do the presentation, not just the visual aid, to get any points on this assignment.

Due Week 7: Create an Analytical Report
over five Cultural Dimensions of a Non-English speaking country. In
week one, you will learn about Basic Cultural Dimensions. For your selected
country you will analyze at least five different cultural dimensions. You may
not select a MINT country (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, or Turkey). Once you’ve
collected credible research of your country,
you will create a report that presents this data with five recommendations that
educate the reader on how to acclimate to the country.
You will not create a Business
Plan, History Report, Geography Paper, or Economic Report. The focus of your
paper will be the cultural dimensions with social norms and customs of your
chosen country. Refer to Chapter 3, Learning Outcome 3-2b, to read about the
Basic Dimensions of Culture. You may also reference Figure 13.4 on pages
488-489 for more topic examples, just make sure to keep the focus on social
norms and customs.
For a visual example of a Business Report, refer to Model
Document 13.2 on pages 471-480. You do not need a letter of transmittal, table
of contents, or an executive summary. Your report will start with the
Introduction (page 1) and end with References (or Works Cited). The content
will not be the same as the example, but with exception to the spacing, the
format will be the same.
