GB519 Measurement and Decision Making- Unit 5 Assignment
Case Study Part 3
Turn in Part 3 of the
case study at the end of Unit 5.
The following Course
Outcome is assessed in this assignment:
GB519-3: Examine global interconnectedness as it
applies to managerial accounting and decision-making.
The third and final
part of the case study is due at the end of Unit 5. Part 3 of the case study is
a PowerPoint presentation with voiceover recording. The voiceover will be the narrative you would be
presenting if this were a live presentation. You will be making a presentation
to the board of directors of your organization.
Your Unit 4 Case Study
Part 2 Assignment will be the starting point for your PowerPoint presentation.
Begin with a brief introduction on the introductory slide. Then, using your
Unit 4 case study assignment as the basis, build a PowerPoint presentation that
discusses all required components of the analysis of your selected manufacturing
organization. However, the presentation will include an additional segment
not required in the case paper. If you have not submitted the Unit 4 Case Study
Part 2 Assignment, you will not be eligible to submit Unit 5 Case Study Part
3.
Like the Unit 4 Case
Study Part 2 Assignment, your PPT presentation should:
- Be based on
the unit reading and additional articles.
- Begin with a
brief review of the organization. Keep in mind that the members of the
board may or may not have read the report you completed in Parts 1 and 2
of the project. Even though this will be a brief presentation, it should
include all essential information and data.
- Identify
significant costs in your organization.
- Include a
section devoted to cost-volume-profit analysis (CVP).
- Discuss budgeting
considerations. Include the organization’s budget process and budget
variances and discuss management decisions related to budgeting.
- Present a
balanced scorecard, incorporating all four of the organizational
dimensions (financial, customer, internal business, and learning and
growth).
New Requirement for
the Presentation: Next, incorporate a discussion of “global
interconnectedness†as it applies to your organization. Use the textbook and
the additional article readings as a basis for analysis. For example, how do
global economic pressures impact your organization? Are there any direct or
indirect international competitors? If so, how is that competition managed?
Discuss any heuristic implications or biases based on global
interconnectedness.
Finally, end with a
summary review of the performance evaluation. (A formal “Conclusion†slide is
required.) What are the key strengths and weaknesses of the organization? What
changes would you recommend be made to the current organizational
strategy?
Additional content
could include a discussion of any potential biases that could potentially
impact the outcome of the decision-making process related to the continued
success of the organization.
The PowerPoint
presentation should include 12–14 slides. The first slide must be a title
slide, and the final slide must be your reference list. The audio presentation
(voiceover) should be 15–20 minutes long. In addition to recording the
voiceover, the text of your voiceover must be written into the Notes section of
each slide.
Proper grammar and
spelling will be an important part of the assignment. So, be sure to perform a
spell check.
Important Note: One of the most important techniques to
use in any PowerPoint presentation is to create clean, crisp slides that use a
minimal number of bullet points. If the slide is too cluttered, the
presentation suffers. Therefore, the Notes section underneath each slide should
be the place where all of the topics in that slide are thoroughly developed. Do
not add the body of your presentation to the slides. Only incorporate the main
“talking points,†then use the Notes section to add all of the body, thereby
creating a more professional and robust presentation. Do NOT simply read the
text of your Unit 4 Case Paper for the presentation; that would be ineffective.
