Activity Description:
Research and create a presentation that describes and discusses the strategic environment of the new manufacturing plant using a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis process. Your analysis should consider not just the new start-up plant, but also the manufacturing industry as a whole.
Length: 8-10 slides (with a separate reference slide) with outline information on the slides themselves and a minimum of 100 -150 words in the Notes section for EACH slide.
On the final two content slides of your presentation develop a job description for a supervisor position within the organization and a job description for an employee position within the organization.
Length: 1 slide per job description (minimum of 100 words each).
Be sure to include citations for quotations and paraphrases with references in APA format and style. Make sure your presentation follows good PowerPoint design principles (e.g., readable font, uses one template, one-inch borders around the slides) and contains transitions, builds, and animation when appropriate.
The last slide(s) in the presentation should be the list of references you used for the assignment in APA format. For this assignment, you do not need to use outside resources and references for the PowerPoint presentation. All the information you need for this assignment is included within the custom-published e-book. However, you are expected to use material from your e-book and properly cite it in the presentation Notes.
