Modify event guidelines for Future Business Executive to add an objective test on business knowledge to differentiate this event from Job Interview. Modify event guidelines to no longer use projectors for presentation events--competitors would present directly from their laptops/devices. Eliminates disadvantage some students experience if projectors don't work and creates a level playing field for all competitors. Modify event guidelines to eliminate the synopsis requirement for Business Sustainability and Strategic Analysis & Decision Making. This would eliminate the synopsis requirement for all PBL events.
