This may be in the area of human rights abuses, for example, the use of child labour and worker exploitation by Walmart, or Starbucks; or the loss of life in the Rana Plaza fire in Bangladesh. It may include environmental abuses such as the Exxon Valdez case in Alaska, or societal mal-effects, such as McDonald’s and Coca Cola are being criticised for. Or, finally, corporate fraud cases such as Toyota’s cover up of car faults in North America, and Volkswagen’s recent misrepresentation of its car emissions ratings. Each group will choose a different company, from the above examples, or others you are aware of. Presentations will be delivered in Weeks 6-11. The structure of your analysis for the report and the presentation will be as follows: Title Slide 1. Introduction 2. A snapshot of the company: products, revenue, share performance. 3. A summary of the events that the company is being criticised for. 4. How these events were resolved and how they have affected the long term value of the company. 5. Your recommendations from company action and future behaviour 6. Conclusion If you are absent from class at your presentation time, you will get zero for this assessment, unless you have a medical certificate or other extenuating circumstances. Please talk to your lecturer before the due date. There will be, ideally, 4 speakers, 8 slides and an allocated 12 minutes to present. An individual self-reflective summary on the task (within 1000 words) and the presentation slides should be submitted in Moodle before the presentation. Use PowerPoint to create the presentation, save it on a USB so you are ready to present in class. A hard copy of the PowerPoints must also be given to the class tutor in Week 11, and must also be submitted through Moodle on the day of the presentation. A statement must be included on the Title Page stating the agreed % contribution of each group member.
