PLEASE CHANGE THE UPLOADED PROPOSAL WORD DOCUMENT TO POWER POINT (20 SLIDES) BASED ON THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTION:
In this portion of the project, you will present your proposal to the class as a group in a way that makes us want to care about and fund/approve your proposal. You will be sure that we, as the audience, understand who we are supposed to be (someone/group who can approve the proposal). We work in the same organization as your group.
Presentation Requirements
The presentation must be eight to ten minutes long and no shorter than eight minutes.
Each group member must present an equal part of the presentation.
The presentation will be delivered in person during the scheduled time in class.
The presentation requires a visual element powered by PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Prezi …
Visual Presentation Design
The visual element of the presentation (required) will be in the form of a PowerPoint, Google Slides or Prezi slide deck. Please apply the presentation best practices to your slides. The slide deck:
Should be consistent in feel
Should include images and minimal text
May include very short (no more than 30 seconds) edited video
Must include at least one original data visualization that your group made.
The visual portion of the presentation should complement (or be just the basis) of what you intend to present. You and your group members should be the focus of the presentation rather than the visuals although it is good to refer to the visuals when speaking, especially when explaining a data visualization. You must include a data visualization made by your group, not grabbed from another source, in a way that makes sense with the “story” you are telling.
Within your presentation, you can use whatever visual sources you choose (as long as you cite your sources on a source page at the end), even your drawings turned into jpegs. You may get creative with graphics, documentation photographs, surveys, etc. Be sure to present all sections of the proposal clearly and fully to the audience/class. You may have multiple solutions to your problem. In that case, each proposed solution to the problem should be explained on a separate slide and include as much detail (orally) as possible within the time frame you have.
Introduction
In class, your team identified a
current ethical problem in the hospitality business. Your team’s next
step is to work on the Background section by presenting information
about the problem in a general sense and specifics about the industry
sector and the organization. After reading the requirements of the
Background section outlined in the Ethical Problem Proposal, your team
should decide who in your group is researching what.
In this assignment, after briefly
describing the current ethical problem your group identified and the
research question your group assigned you to research, you will list at
least five sources in full APA format. This may not be the final list of
research for your group project; in fact, it’s probably just a starting
place.
Tasks
Step 1: Describe briefly (1) the current ethical problem your group identified and (2) the research question your group assigns you to research.
Step 2: List at least four sources in full APA format (not just the link). If
the information you were gathering involves data from a particular time
and/or place, please indicate the time and place that the data was
gathered (you will need to read the resource you found to find this
out).
Introduction
An ethical problem proposal is a group written assignment. First, your group will identify a current ethical problem in the hospitality business
and report on how this problem is manifesting in a particular sector
(such as restaurants or upper upscale hotels) in the hospitality
industry. Next, you will choose an organization that one team member
worked or is working at or at least your group is familiar with. The
proposal is written as if your group is working for this organization
that needs help to make a change to solve an ethical problem. Then, your
group will propose one narrow solution to the problem that the
organization can reasonably implement. Decide who in the company this
should be proposed to (who can do something about the problem or who has
the authority to approve the proposal).
Proposal Format
The proposal should be at least four full pages (including cover page) in a typical internal business proposal format
(see proposal template). This is single-spaced with one line space
between paragraphs, as well as headers to indicate the different
sections. The proposal should not be more than six pages.
Proposal Elements
Cover page
All sections listed in the template (Please see details of each section in the next tab: Proposal Sections):
A clearly defined need/problem statement
The aim
A self-created clear data visualization, appropriately labeled with a title and a note that states the source of the data
Footnotes using footnote numbers in the text and full APA citation in the footnotes.
Table of reasonable accounting of costs (and possibly benefits) of the proposal
Proposal Sections:
Executive Summary
Even though an executive summary appears at the beginning of a
proposal, you should write this section last. It should include only the
main idea of each written section of the document.
Background
The background mainly focuses on information about the problem in a
general sense and specifics about the industry sector and the
organization. Explain how large the problem is by using statistical and descriptive information as much as you can. For
example, how common is the subminimum wage in the restaurant industry?
What percentage of restaurants employ this practice? (Check https://www.onefairwage.org/about
Links to an external site. to learn more about subminimum wages for tipped restaurant and service workers)
The background section should also explain the ramifications or
problems that occur because of this ethical issue and how it affects the
organization. The background’s penultimate (second to last) sentence
should be the problem statement. What, ultimately, is the problem for
the company?
The background statement should end with the aim. What do you hope to
do with your proposal and how will it help the company? (This may be
easier to write after you complete the proposal section.) Remember
that your aim should be fairly small, and if you are trying to solve a
multi-step or multi-pronged problem, you should only focus on the
easiest or smallest part. The aim will provide a transition into the proposal section.
Paraphrase and cite in footnote format all outside sources. Do not use quotes from other sources.
The data visualization will most likely appear in the background section.
Place it right after the paragraph where you write about the topic you
are visualizing. Reference the chart/visualization in the text.
Proposal
The proposal section should begin with what you aim to do. The rest
of the section should explain thoroughly how you (or the organization)
intend to implement the proposal. Think about as many aspects of the
proposal as you can.
Requirements
This section explains what is needed to complete the project/change proposed.
Deliverables and Measurements
In this section, explain what will be turned in (if applicable) and
how the success of this proposed project/policy change will be measured
quantitatively.
Costs (and benefits if applicable)
This section should only comprise a table that lists the categories
of costs (think accounting) and the amounts. You will have to do some
research to estimate the various costs. There can be a separate table
accounting for the benefits (savings, usually). The table should measure
the costs and benefits in dollars. If some benefits or costs are
difficult to quantify, you can write about those in addition to the
table.
Footnotes
Use footnotes, not endnotes. This is for the ease of the reader. Use
the footnote feature in your word processing program so they are
automatically numbered and placed. This will work if you insert the
footnotes immediately after the period with no space in between.
