The presentation should include the slides outlined below. The presentation should also contain detailed speaker notes and audio narration.

The Company Presentation link that appears on the Assignments menu near the top of each company co-manager's Corporate Lobby screen directs the management team to prepare presentation that covers:

(1) their company's performance for all decision rounds,

(2) their strategic vision for the company,

(3) performance targets for the next year or two, assuming the simulation continued on,

(4) their company's present strategy and how it has evolved,

(5) which companies they consider to be their closest competitors,

(6) the moves they would make over the next several years to win out over their close competitors and improve their company' s performance and market standing, and

(7) Lessons learned.

Topics and Slides Required

Your company's final presentation should include the following topics and slides:

1. A brief review of the financial and strategic performance of your company during the time you and your co-managers have run the company.

This review should consist of charts showing the following:

Trends in the company's annual total revenues

Trends in the company's annual earnings per share (EPS)

Trends in the company's annual return on equity investment (ROE)

Trends in the company's annual credit rating

Trends in the company's year-end stock price

Trends in the company's annual image rating

Trends in global unit sales (both branded and private-label footwear)

Trends in the company's global market share

2. A slide describing your strategic vision for the company.

3. A slide that shows what performance targets for EPS, ROE, credit rating, and image rating you and your co-managers would set for each of the next two years (assuming the simulation were to continue). You may also want to include global market share and/or stock price targets as well.

4. A slide that sets forth your company's competitive strategy in branded footwear in some detail and how that strategy has evolved over the years you have managed the company.

You may need to have more than one slide here if your company's strategy in branded footwear varies markedly from geographic region to geographic region or if your strategy for branded sales to retailers differs in important ways from your strategy for Internet sales.

5. A slide that sets forth your company's competitive strategy in private-label in some detail and how that strategy has evolved over the years. Again, more than one slide may be needed if your company's strategy in private-label footwear varies markedly from one geographic region to another.

6. A slide showing your company's production strategy and work force compensation strategy

7. A slide describing your company's finance strategy (as concerns dividends, use of debt versus equity, stock issues/repurchases, actions to achieve/maintain a strong credit rating, etc.) You should clearly describe your company's dividend policy during the period you have managed the company. Here, you should also set forth what sort of dividend increases, if any; you would likely consider paying out in the next two upcoming years (given the EPS targets you have established).

8. A slide showing (1) those companies you consider to be your strongest/closest competitors in branded footwear as of the last year or two of the simulation and (2) those companies that are your strongest/closest competitors in the private-label segment of the marketplace.

9. One or more slides detailing the actions you would take to out-compete these close rivals in the next two years (assuming the simulation continues for several more years). Since the actions may differ as between branded and private-label footwear, you may well need 2 slides here.

10. A set of slides detailing the "lessons learned" about crafting a winning strategy and about what the managers of a company should or should not do for a company to be financially and competitively successful in a head-to-head battle against shrewdly-managed rival companies.

Additional Tips

As you know, when you launch the Decisions and Reports program, there is a performance summary containing bar graphs showing your company's performance on each of the above six performance indicators. These graphs for the final year of the simulation can easily be inserted into a PowerPoint presentation or Word document by clicking the Save-To-File button nearest each graph. Once you have named and saved a picture file of a graph to your local drive you can insert the picture into your PowerPoint presentation or Word document using the Insert tab provided in the Office program.
