Business Implications Analysis

Busin" rel="nofollow">iness Implications Analysis Order Description The Job At Hand As it turns out, you are one of three students in" rel="nofollow">invited to give a presentation at next week's Bryan Series (Lin" rel="nofollow">inks to an external site.)Lin" rel="nofollow">inks to an external site. Busin" rel="nofollow">iness Summit. You are to present a Busin" rel="nofollow">iness Implications Analysis about an area of the law to a group of dynamic busin" rel="nofollow">iness people in" rel="nofollow">in your favorite in" rel="nofollow">industry. Your audience will not be familiar with the area of the law you choose or how it impacts their in" rel="nofollow">industry, so you will need to: 1.Explain" rel="nofollow">in to them what the law is as well describe any non-legal topics that are relevant, 2. Illustrate the law-in" rel="nofollow">in-action by describin" rel="nofollow">ing at least three actual cases, and 3. Offer some advice, specific to their in" rel="nofollow">industry, about thin" rel="nofollow">ings they can or should do, consider, in" rel="nofollow">investigate, avoid, etc. when they return to their offices. Because you are eager to make a good impression - these are all potential prospective employers, after all - you will also want to be sure to: 4. Deliver a professional presentation. Deliverable Medium Because of your course schedule, you won't physically be at the presentation. Instead, you'll provide an electronic file or files that will be presented to the audience for their review. There is no prescribed medium for your presentation deliverable. You may use the medium that best fits your preferences AND that best enables you to communicate the required content. This might in" rel="nofollow">include castin" rel="nofollow">ing your deliverable as a newspaper article, journal article, busin" rel="nofollow">iness or legal memo, documentary movie, in" rel="nofollow">investigative TV news report, in" rel="nofollow">interview, speech, busin" rel="nofollow">iness presentation, TED Talk, etc. One medium to avoid, says your legal research team, is a PowerPoin" rel="nofollow">int presentation. PowerPoin" rel="nofollow">int is fin" rel="nofollow">ine if you're filmin" rel="nofollow">ing yourself deliverin" rel="nofollow">ing it, but a PowerPoin" rel="nofollow">int by itself can't possibly communicate what you need to communicate without it bein" rel="nofollow">ing entirely written out in" rel="nofollow">in prose. And, if you're goin" rel="nofollow">ing to write it all out in" rel="nofollow">in prose, why not do that in" rel="nofollow">in a medium designed for writin" rel="nofollow">ing? Your legal research team was also quick to caution you to stay focused on the evaluation criteria. Creativity is refreshin" rel="nofollow">ing, heightens your audience's engagement, and often leads to methods of communicatin" rel="nofollow">ing content that are superior to the predomin" rel="nofollow">inate method of writin" rel="nofollow">ing. While creativity is much appreciated, however, there are no poin" rel="nofollow">ints for it on the audience's evaluation rubric. So, your team warned, avoid temptations to over-in" rel="nofollow">invest in" rel="nofollow">in presentation elements that are sheerly auxiliary or ornamental, that do not earn you poin" rel="nofollow">ints on the rubric, and/or that are poor methods for communicatin" rel="nofollow">ing your content. As an example meant to humor you while also makin" rel="nofollow">ing the poin" rel="nofollow">int, your team illustrated that a mime routin" rel="nofollow">ine is unlikely to communicate the fin" rel="nofollow">iner poin" rel="nofollow">ints of your analysis as effectively as a written memo or a video of you givin" rel="nofollow">ing a speech. Similarly, a TV news report with an amazin" rel="nofollow">ing set and exhaustive video editin" rel="nofollow">ing doesn't make stale thin" rel="nofollow">inkin" rel="nofollow">ing score any higher on the evaluation criteria. Topical Areas You may choose one of the two topical areas, below, to address in" rel="nofollow">in your presentation. You may also choose the in" rel="nofollow">industry in" rel="nofollow">in which your audience works. Conveniently, each topical area maps perfectly to a matter you have already handled, so there are a plethora of materials to work from. Here are the topical areas from which to choose: • Intellectual Property Rights - This is the topical area for Small Matter 08, and here are some relevant casesyour research team has pulled for you. • Internet Law, Social Media, and Privacy- This is the topical area for Small Matter 09, and here are some relevant cases you research team has pulled for you. Audience Evaluation As your legal team in" rel="nofollow">indicated, your audience will be evaluatin" rel="nofollow">ing your performance. The rubric they will be usin" rel="nofollow">ing is near the bottom of this page. Immediately below is discussion about what the rubric criteria measure. 2.Illustrate the law-in" rel="nofollow">in-action by describin" rel="nofollow">ing at least three actual cases, and 3. Offer some advice, specific to their in" rel="nofollow">industry, about thin" rel="nofollow">ings they can or should do, consider, in" rel="nofollow">investigate, avoid, etc. when they return to their offices. 3. Clearly identify the in" rel="nofollow">industry to which you are presentin" rel="nofollow">ing. The more narrowly you can defin" rel="nofollow">ine your in" rel="nofollow">industry, the more targeted your presentation and advice can be. 4. Summarize the law plus any non-legal topics relevant to your subject matter. The legal brief your research team created for this matter has everythin" rel="nofollow">ing you need, though you may fin" rel="nofollow">ind it fruitful to do some of your own research. Address all the different law that is relevant - constitutional, case, statutory, and regulatory – and be sure to also address any non-legal topics that the legal brief discusses. Be careful to summarize in" rel="nofollow">in your own words, however, and avoid sayin" rel="nofollow">ing so little that you are unin" rel="nofollow">informative or leave key ideas out, while also avoidin" rel="nofollow">ing dronin" rel="nofollow">ing on and on and on. 5. Illustrate the law in" rel="nofollow">in action by explain" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing at least three relevant cases.Feel free to use the cases that your legal research team provided you. Feel free, too, to use a case other than one of those, just be sure to cite it so your audience can read the full text of the opin" rel="nofollow">inion if they choose to. 6. Offer some in" rel="nofollow">industry-specific advice to your audience about thin" rel="nofollow">ings they can or should do, consider, in" rel="nofollow">investigate, avoid, etc. when they return to their offices.While advice that is a straightforward application of the law will be appreciated, advice that reveals less-obvious in" rel="nofollow">insight in" rel="nofollow">into the law and the in" rel="nofollow">industry will be prized. For example, if you boldly state that companies should not show off their trade secrets to their competitors, your audience will duly take note. If, however, you describe some methods to prevent trade secrets from bein" rel="nofollow">ing discovered or leaked, your audience will be sittin" rel="nofollow">ing on the edge of their chairs in" rel="nofollow">in rapt attention. As you approach this segment of your presentation, make connections to other thin" rel="nofollow">ings you've learned at UNCG or in" rel="nofollow">in your professional experience. Offer advice about how your in" rel="nofollow">industry-audience can – within" rel="nofollow">in the subject matter of your presentation – improve day-to-day operations, long term strategy, recruitment, retention, marketin" rel="nofollow">ing, research and development, professional development, acquisitions, compensation...anythin" rel="nofollow">ing and everythin" rel="nofollow">ing. This is where you're showin" rel="nofollow">ing your stuff, makin" rel="nofollow">ing a name for yourself, and settin" rel="nofollow">ing yourself apart on the rubric, so dig deep. And be sure that what your diggin" rel="nofollow">ing out are shin" rel="nofollow">iny gold nuggets of wisdom and not day-old cow patties (Lin" rel="nofollow">inks to an external site.)Lin" rel="nofollow">inks to an external site.. 7. Deliver a professional presentation. Your high-powered audience is used to cut-to-the-chase, tell-it-like-it-is presentations. Beatin" rel="nofollow">ing around the bush, usin" rel="nofollow">ing a paragraph where a sentence would do, and usin" rel="nofollow">ing generalities to gloss over the details will not sell well. Big fancy words also won't impress, so avoid talkin" rel="nofollow">ing about "value added strategic alliances that produce paradigm shifts and synergy." On the other hand, don't go too thin" rel="nofollow">in. Your audience came for solid ideas, so you need to deliver some. Of course, spellin" rel="nofollow">ing grammar, punctuation, etc. must be flawless and you should use headin" rel="nofollow">ings or other ways to help your audience navigate your thin" rel="nofollow">inkin" rel="nofollow">ing. Similarly, if your deliverable will in" rel="nofollow">include images, video, or audio, make sure you main" rel="nofollow">intain" rel="nofollow">in a high level of professionalism in" rel="nofollow">in them. Bouncin" rel="nofollow">ing emojis sin" rel="nofollow">ingin" rel="nofollow">ing about cybersquattin" rel="nofollow">ing is probably not the best way to get your poin" rel="nofollow">int across to this crowd. Last, remember that professionals cite their sources. So, if you weren't born with the in" rel="nofollow">information or the idea wasn't born in" rel="nofollow">in your head, you must cite your sources usin" rel="nofollow">ing the APA (Lin" rel="nofollow">inks to an external site.)Lin" rel="nofollow">inks to an external site. or MLA (Lin" rel="nofollow">inks to an external site.)Lin" rel="nofollow">inks to an external site. style and in" rel="nofollow">include a bibliography. Seriously, you're goin" rel="nofollow">ing to need citations and a bibliography. And headin" rel="nofollow">ings. Length There is in" rel="nofollow">intentionally no scientific formula to guide the length of your presentation (font size, spacin" rel="nofollow">ing, number of pages, length of video, etc.). Instead there is a guidelin" rel="nofollow">ine with guardrails. The guidelin" rel="nofollow">ine (a crass one with which you are surely familiar) is to make your deliverable like a min" rel="nofollow">ini-skirt or a kilt: long enough to cover the subject and short enough to keep it in" rel="nofollow">interestin" rel="nofollow">ing. To ensure you don't go over the edge in" rel="nofollow">in either direction, here are some guardrails. On one edge, a two-page paper (sin" rel="nofollow">ingle spaced, 12 poin" rel="nofollow">int font, 1 in" rel="nofollow">inch margin" rel="nofollow">ins) or a 3 min" rel="nofollow">inute video would be too short to communicate the content you need to communicate. On the other edge, an 8-page paper (sin" rel="nofollow">ingle spaced, 12 poin" rel="nofollow">int font, 1 in" rel="nofollow">inch margin" rel="nofollow">ins) or a 20 min" rel="nofollow">inute video would be more in" rel="nofollow">ink or pixels than should be needed to concisely and cogently address the objectives. Examples (not necessarily exemplars) The followin" rel="nofollow">ing are two examples to give you a flavor of what a deliverable might look like. Please note that these are examples and not necessarily exemplars. If you compare these to the rubric, you will fin" rel="nofollow">ind that they do some thin" rel="nofollow">ings well and also each have room for improvement. •Example 1 - video •Example 2 - busin" rel="nofollow">iness memorandum Get 'Er Dun! Use the submission button at the top of this page to submit files or lin" rel="nofollow">inks for your presentation deliverable. Good luck! ---update--- After in" rel="nofollow">initially deliverin" rel="nofollow">ing your talk, you were in" rel="nofollow">invited (but not required) to present your talk a second time. The in" rel="nofollow">instructions were slightly modified and the revisions are all in" rel="nofollow">incorporated, above. The audience's rubric will be slightly different as well, but the origin" rel="nofollow">inal rubric (shown at the bottom of this page) could not be changed. So, the new rubric is set out immediately below.
