Presentations: Planning a Presentation [LO-1] In your job as a business development researcher for a major corporation, you’re asked to gather and process information on a wide variety of subjects. Management has gained confidence in your research and analysis skills and would now like you to begin making regular presentations at management retreats and other functions.

Topics are likely to include the following:

● Offshoring of U.S. jobs

● Foreign ownership of U.S. firms

● Employment issues involving workers from other countries

● Tax breaks offered by local and state governments to attract new businesses

● Economic impact of environmental regulations Your task: With a team assigned by your instructor, choose one of the topics from the list and conduct enough research to familiarize yourself with the topic. Identify at least three important issues that anyone involved with this topic should know about. Prepare a 10-minute presentation that introduces the topic, comments on its importance to the U.S. economy, and discusses the issues you’ve identified. Assume that your audience is a cross-section of business managers who don’t have any particular experience in the topic you’ve chosen.
