Complex Business Case Study Of Designing A PowerPoint Presentation

Question: Discuss about the Complex Business Case Study Of Designing A PowerPoint Presentation. Answer: Reflection In the class, we were provided a task of designing a PowerPoint presentation based on a business case. A complex business case study was assigned to each group having three team members. The team was required to solve the business case with the application of appropriate theoretical frameworks and business strategy theories. The business case comprises of challenging business dilemma, which requires the application of several theories for the solution (Kuhnke, 2013). We were three group members. Each group member was assigned a challenging business case, and they have to solve the business case and design a presentation in the stipulated time. We divided the task between us. I solved the business case; second team member designed the presentation and third team member gave the presentation. Solving the business case was challenging, as it required the application of several different theories. However, the strength of my work was that it was well-researched. Before solving the business case, I learnt about all the theories and business management framework. I read various examples, wherein there was solution to several real-time case studies. I also studied different case studies from internet sources. Along with it, we also worked thoroughly for the PowerPoint presentation design. We made several efforts to design an attractive and impressive Presentation for the audience. We realized that the task is a crucial stage in learning about the design of presentations. The PowerPoint presentations are important in business communication as they are commonly used in delivering an appropriate message to the team members. They are an important aspect of the management studies and; therefore, an essential part of the curriculum. Therefore, the task was considered as an opportuni ty to learn and apply communication and critical thinking skills. The strength of the work is design, which was modified as per the topic of the discussion. A particular structure was made of the presentation, which included an introduction, main body, and conclusion. The table of content was also included in the presentation so that a logical structure can be developed for the presentation. However, there were still a few mistakes in the presentation. I believe that the response to the assessment could have been improved, if the assessment could have been submitted to the marker for review purpose before the final submission. After giving the presentation, we realized that a large amount of content is included in a few slides. We realized that the presentation could have been made attractive by adding figures and facts. It could have been changed if we have asked our seniors and tutors to review the file. We realized that if we three have collaborated together for each part of the assignment, we could have designed it better. There were a few challenges faced in designing the task. The coordination between the team members was not good. One of the team members, was always late and could not meet deadlines or deliver the task on time. It created frustration among other members. Other than punctuality and meeting the deadlines is also crucial in team work. There were some issues in the presentation due to the urgency. It will impact on the overall evaluation and the marking scheme (McKay, Davis Fanning, 2009). Working and collaborating in a team is a challenging task. When a large number of people work together, they are a large number of conflicts. An individual has to learn to work in a team in order to lead a successful professional life. The experience has changed my understanding of the topic (Vangelisti, 2016). I have developed my critical thinking skills and learning capabilities. I have also learnt that it is important to prepare beforehand, before giving a presentation. My overall experience was n ice, and I learnt that a person can achieve excellence with practice.
