BUSINESS PRESENTATION: You have been asked to make a presentation to your local chamber of commerce about encouraging development and enrichment of new entrepreneurs. BUSINESS SUSTAINABILITY: Lean manufacturing is a management technique which seeks to use the smallest possible amount of resources for the biggest gain. Lean manufacturing entails making production processes as efficient as they can be, reducing waste and improving customer service. By adopting software to implement lean manufacturing techniques, firms across the world have demonstrated that huge savings can be realized. The presentation must include Item 1 below and one or more aspects of Items 2 through 5. - Description of the lean manufacturing practice and its efficiencies to the company Stakeholder engagement Environmental management systems Reporting and disclosure Life cycle analysis COM PUTER ANIM ATION: Many organizations are required to support charities through philanthropic efforts. Use computer animation in a promotional/marketing video to show the importance of this kind of charitable effort as an important business responsibility.

You will need to come up with a name and logo for your non-profit. You will create a poster and a postcard that can be placed in businesses advertising your non-profit. You will also create a brochure and a business card that can be used to visit prospective donors to your non-profit. EM ERGING BUSINESS ISSUES: The American business model and the European business model differ regarding corporate culture and practices regarding work/life balance. The United States has some of the longest working hours and some of the shortest paid vacation leave. The European business model includes shorter working hours, and employees are typically provided between four and six weeks paid vacation. Be prepared to argue the positive, that the European business model is a better corporate culture than the United States business model; and be prepared to argue the negative, that the European business model is not a better corporate culture than the United States business model. FUTURE BUSINESS EDUCATOR: Create a unit plan for a beginning high school accounting course on teaching debits and credits. The plan should include a pre-assessment, assessments, activities, and other ancillary materials that may be needed.

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.
