1. Find an interesting article related to a topic of your choice. The topic should be a Management concept from one of the chapters that you’ve studied this semester. Note that you are not trying to explain a chapter; rather, you are trying to apply one or more concepts to an actual Management situation. Do not simply outline the chapter and try to present it, or profile a company or organization.
2. Prepare a written summary (minimum 500 words) of the article that you will deliver to the class.The summary should give us the highlights of the article, and should, more importantly, identify how your article relates to the chapter you’ve chosen to present. The article will probably not relate to the entire chapter; it will likely be an example of one or more concepts from the chapter. You know you’ve found a good article when it immediately reminds you of something you’ve studied! This results in not just a mention of your topic; rather the references are woven throughout your summary. Lastly, the summary should also include the name of the article, the name of the publication, the date the article was published and how you found it.
3. Compile a PowerPoint presentation as if you were presenting to the class. You should have approximately 4-5 slides, including your title slide. Create these as if you were going to speak to the class, for example not too much text, size could be easily viewed in the back of the classroom, etc.
