Current Event Presentation Assignment

This assignment will give you the opportunity to learn more about current events occurring in the United States and around the world and how they relate to business. You are required to choose a newspaper article in one of the following sources: The Financial Times, The Economist, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, or The Washington Post. This article must be recent (specifically, it must have been published within 30 days of your presentation date), and it must be one that relates to a topic that we have discussed or will discuss in class. Possible topics include

• The positive or negative reaction of customers in reaction to a company's introduction of a new product or service
• The economic, ethical, or financial implications of a decision made by a company
• A global issue that affects business

The presentation is expected to be between 4 and 6 minutes long; presentations that do not conform to this expectation will be penalized. The best way to ensure that your presentation will be the appropriate length is to practice it a few times before you deliver it in class.

Your presentation must:

• Demonstrate preparation on your part.
• Provide a summary for your audience that demonstrates your understanding of the article.
• Explicitly relate the topic(s) discussed in the article to a topic we have discussed (or will discuss) in BUS 101. At least one of these topics must be from a chapter other than Chapter 1.
• Last between 4 - 6 minutes.
• Use a Power Point that facilitates-but does not dominate-the presentation.
• Be delivered professionally.
• Be recent. Your article must have been published within 30 days of your presentation date.
