Group Case #1 Team Presentation
Weeks 2 and 3:
The teams for the group case assignments were set in the Introduction Discussion in Week 1.
Each team will use collaborative tools to analyze their assigned question in association with the group case. The team members will work together collaboratively to create and post a PowerPoint slide deck (and an accompanying podcast) explaining your team’s analysis.
Each team will post their Group Case #1 presentation by Sunday, end of Week 2. The rest of the class will have the opportunity to view and respond to the team presentations in a separate assignment.
Refer to the following cases from the “Managing & Using Information Systems” textbook (eighth edition). Note that each case includes several questions for analysis, but only one question is assigned to each team.
Team 5, : Uber (pages 76-77)
The teams for the group case assignments were set in the Introduction Discussion in Week 1.
For each of the group case assignments, each team will use collaborative tools to analyze their assigned question in association with the group case. The team members will work together collaboratively to create and post a PowerPoint slide deck (and an accompanying podcast: use PowerPoint – Insert – Audio) explaining your team’s analysis. One team member will then post the completed presentation (and podcast) on the appropriate Group Case discussion board.
· Group Case 2 – due at the end of Week 5
Part 1: PowerPoint Presentation (6-10 slides)
- Background: Identify the symptoms, critical factors and the current state described in the case as relevant to the particular question you are analyzing. It is not required to give a background about the entire case study. Be careful to identify the real problem and not the symptoms of the problem.
- Analysis: Apply the concepts/models/frameworks from the course content and outside research effectively and completely to respond to your specific question. If necessary explain the model briefly to clarify your position. Refer to external references (at least one) to strengthen your analysis. If applicable, logically discuss options, implications and tradeoffs.
- Conclusions: These should be your conclusions and if applicable, recommendations regarding how the organization should deal with the problem; they should be fully supported by the previous sections.
- Presentation format: The presentation should be well structured, professional and organized. The communication should be clear, logical, and concise. Do not use videos from external sources in your presentation!
- Appropriate references: You must use 1 or 2 external sources, not including textbooks. These sources can be company websites, industry sources, journal articles, periodicals, such as the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and so on, and governmental sources such as the SEC. Wikipedia and other similar sources are not to be used in this course. Citations must be referenced according to APA style.
: Post Presentation to Canvas
On the course Discussion Board, post both your PowerPoint (and your Podcast) as “reply” under the assigned Group case. The Subject Box should contain your team number and the respective name of the case (e.g. Group Case #1 FBI), the assigned question should be written out in the Message Box and within the Message Box the podcast (optional) should be embedded as a file or media. Finally, include the PowerPoint file as an attachment.
