Participation and Expectations to show Proof of Knowledge

Everyone should have a role in the presentation and Q&A$,$ with equal time spent presenting a Business Plan in the form of a PowerPoint presentation about a New Company. It cannot be either the same company they ran during the simulation in class $($Marketplace Simulation$)$ or an existing company $($like Microsoft, SHEIN, or Walmart, for example$).$ All data and strategic and tactical plans must be created by the team using research methods and projections learned in class, including the SWOT analysis to be used within the presentation, which must have all four quadrants, labeled with the same four titles as in class during the term $($do not get creative with the SWOT $-$ each quadrant gets the same title and must be presented in the same order as always$).$ ROI is calculated with Q$5$ and Q$6\text{'}$s EPS, just like you did for your VC presentation $($in which instead you used you used Q$3$ and Q$4\text{'}$s EPS$).$
