Group Presentation

Group Presentation

The presentation requires you (working in groups of two) to deliver a well-researched synopsis of a specific trend that will have implications for the industries you are planning on heading into (i.e. the industries associated with your chosen majors: sport, events, leisure, tourism, or hotels) or business in a broader context, and furthermore, detail how business or those industries will use (or not use) technology to adapt and prosper in the face of such developments.

This will provide you the opportunity to critically analyse forecasted developments within a specific industry and additionally provide you the opportunity to make a definitive argument on whether technology provides businesses the capacity to improve customer service or simply dilute it.

The presentation will be assessed under the following headings:

1. Presentation Content
2. Presentation Style
3. Group Performance
