...Total mark: ________/15 3004IBA SEMINAR PREPARATION – NO REFERENCING NECESSARY Seminar week and time: Week 3 (Seminar 1), 11-11.50am Student name and ID number: Jayeshlin Naidu, s2943053 Case name: JOHANNES VAN DEN BOSCH SENDS AN EMAIL Goal of analysis: GET THE REQUESTED INFORMATION TO THE CLIENT IN A TIMELY MANNER; PREVENT LOSING THE CLIENT A. Case introduction (describe relevant case background and scope of analysis): The case is clearly about the email exchanges between both Johannes van den Bosch and his British client, Malcolm Smythe- Jones. However, his colleague at the Mexican City office was in charge of the dealings, hence the differences and the lack in communication. In this case, there is a matter of time different at both firms which causes delays with emails back and forth; particularly from a client in Britain. Thus causing confusion between old time veterans Van den Bosch and Mendez, along with the disappointment Van den Bosch puts across to Mendez, Van den Bosh did not reread what he had sent. There is clear spelling and grammar mistakes throughout the email, as well as expressing concerns for clients over his co-workers. It is quite obvious that there is no sense of understanding cultural differences, no effective communication (as said before) and bringing the different perspectives together and building on the issue. ____ / 2 ____ / 2 ____ / 2 ____ / 2 B.

...takes steps the speaker needs to do to prepare the presentation. Audience analysis is one way a speaker can prepare the presentation’s effectiveness. The speaker must explore the different characteristics of the target audience. In the case of a quarterly sales meeting, the audience includes managers, salespeople, and customers. The speaker breaks down the audience characteristics and what demographics make up the analysis. This would include professional and nonprofessional. The speaker must also consider what channel of communication to use at the presentation to ensure meeting the expectations of the audience. This channel can be formal or informal. Formal communication is organized and managed. The information is shared with relevant people within the organization. Informal communication is used within the organization and not used with informational meetings outside the organization. Audience Characteristics The speaker must make sure every member of the audience can understand his or her presentation. The speaker can do this by having a clear understanding of the unique needs of the audience. The speaker must know of any similarities and differences in the audience.

This is a combination of professionals and nonprofessionals. The presentation covers both viewpoints of the audience. Managers are...

... In my 4th year of study, I would have to spend 8 months working on a project in a developing country. I could work on a health care delivery system, do an environmental assessment, create a marketing or small business development plan with local entrepreneurs, address key issues such as child labor or HIV/AIDS, and the list goes on. With a good mark in English, I hope to get accepted into this program. I’ve never taken an online course so I did not know exactly what to expect. I am finding it more difficult than the English course that I took in day school. I also find that it is twice as much work. However, in day school, a lot of the marking is through class discussions, presentation, and overall behavior in class. Because ILC is independent and there are no teachers to mark a student on presentations discussions, etc, it makes sense that there would be more work to cover. I like this course a lot more than my last English course. I love writing. In day school, we did a lot of writing, but there was always a lot of pressure to finish it at a certain date and perfectly. I absolutely love how I can work at my own pace think about what I am writing thoroughly without stress. It makes things much easier. I work at Zellers as a Fashion Sales Associate. And I have found that balancing school and work has become so much more easier by taking this...

...communiques that we learned about are email, memo, powerpoint presentation and report. First let’s talk about emails and how effective they are within the business. When it comes to how well it conveyed the message well the status of how the due diligence is was not clearly the focal point of the message and the recommendation overshadows the message that is trying to be conveyed. It was the right type communication to be used. Emails are best for when talking between peers because is not a formal message. The ethical implications are the sharing of information over an email can be seen by others if the email is hacked or if your peer decides to show someone that they shouldn’t have. The information could be that shouldn’t be seen by any other person other than your peer. Then we have a formal written memo to the Chief Executive Officer. The message was very forward about not moving on with the investment. A formal memo is the best way to talk to such a high authority within your company. It shows the professionalism within yourself to your higher making it look like you know exactly what you are talking about and believing in what you are saying to them. Next there is the powerpoint presentation. With the powerpoint presentation it is very easy to read and understand with the slides and animations. It flows very well making it easier to get the point across and keeping the reader intrigued. Powerpoint presentations are one of the more basic ways to provide financial information...

...Creating a PowerPoint presentation, or deck, for your business plan is a quick, to-the-point means of revealing your best selling points to those reviewing it, while still sending over your more detailed plan. The question is, how do you organize and minimize the breadth of a business plan into a short PowerPoint presentation? First, it’s recommended that you use the 10–20–30 rule: 10 slides, 20 minutes and a minimum 30-point font. Follow these additional tips to create a winning deck: 1. Your first slide is your title slide, which provides the name of the business, your name, title and contact information, plus a slogan if you have one. During the presentation, you can read the slide and add in a sentence that describes what it is you do. 2. The next slide should introduce a problem that persists and is relatable to your target market. Statistics can help you support your comments, but cite only a couple at best. You want the audience to relate to the problem or at least understand how it affects others. 3. The third slide should get to your solution. Briefly describe in simple terms how your business has figured out how to alleviate the problem you mentioned in slide 2. Make sure the audience understands that you have a unique approach. You might also add a few words to support your overall value proposition. 4. Next, you want to explain how you'll make money. What are your revenue sources? Who are your customers? What is your pricing structure? Then talk briefly about...

Here, you continue the discussion on CCSS, but from the perspective of linking report cards to the CCSS. It is common to think about how creating report cards that are linked to CCSS will define expectations for student learning, communicate student progress to parents, provides a consistent approach to assessment evaluations, and focuses on academic achievement. As needed, review the Hunt Institute video below (click this link to view the video transcript), which covers the history and development of the CCSS. For this discussion, you will adopt the role of a school leader and create a digital presentation using the software of your choice (e.g., PowerPoint, Present.me, YouTube, Prezi, Jing, SlideRocket, or another program). Your audience for this presentation can be either a school board or a stakeholder directly in the school setting, such as teachers, other staff, or students.
