$$ Your presentation should be $5-6$ minutes $($no shorter than $5$ minutes and no longer than $6$ minutes$).$

$$ You may use any presentation software you choose $($PowerPoint is provided in the Office $365$ suite, and Mediasite is provided within the D$2$L

course room$),$ but your final project must be an $.$mp$4$ movie that can be viewed by your instructor. Remember to upload your $.$mp$4$

movie or provide a link to your presentation stored on the web.

$$ Your presentation must include appropriate graphics and be recorded. You must be visible throughout the presentation. You will be graded

on content, quality of your graphics, and your spoken presence. You can go back into your simulations to capture data and screen shots to

include in your presentation. Remember that good visual presentations are clean and clear$$add details in the oral part of your presentation.

Presentation Structure:

$1.$ Title slide: Include your name, date, and section. Include your major$/$concentration and minor$/$certificate $($used for data sorting purposes

only$).$

$2.$ Introduction $($include thesis and purpose of the simulation project $($not the purpose of the simulations$).$ Remember to cite the simulation. This

is only one slide.$)$

$3.$ Strategic Contextualization for the Drone and Kannybus simulations $($include initial strategy, desired outcome, and expectations as the

manager$),$ create a single table that directly compares the Drone and Kannybus simulations

a$.$ In which business sector and in relation to what economic issue$($s$)$ was each simulation situated? In your spoken narrative explain how

differences across these aspects impact the situation? $($PLO$1)$

b$.$ How was success measured in each simulation, and what was your strategy for achieving it in each case? $($PLO$4$a$)$

c$.$ Which business functions $($i$.$e$.,$ departments$)$ were most significant to success within the simulations? In your spoken narrative,

explain how you leveraged that business function to succeed. Did their significance change from one simulation to the next? $($PLO$1)$

$4.$ Drone Porter$$s Five Forces Analysis. Use a Five$-$force analysis so explain how you leveraged your competitive advantages against

your competition $($or how they leveraged theirs against yours$).$ Michael Porter created a method for evaluating the competitive forces

among stakeholders within an industry. Not every stakeholder has equal power and influence during negotiations. Understanding those

relationships can help a company to strategize for success and sustainability. You are asked to conduct a Porter$$s Analysis to evaluate the

power structure within your GoVenture world. Create a $5-$forces graphic and accompanying spoken narrative $($PLO$2\mathrm{.}2$ and PLO$4\mathrm{.}3)$ that

explains your competitive position using these questions to guide your thinking

a$.$ Buyers $($generally refers to the customers$)$

i$.$ To what degree do buyers have influence over your chosen company?

ii$.$ What is the average purchase size? How does this impact customer influence?

iii. What is the degree of competition in this industry? How does this company differentiate itself?

iv$.$ How does buyer price sensitivity impact their influence over the company? $($This aspect can be counter$-$intuitive. A customer

that is sensitive about price might fear a rise in price could make the product or service unaffordable to them. However, for

that reason, they have power over the company because the company does not want to lose the sale.$)$

v$.$ How easily customers switch to a substitute easily and cheaply, giving buyers influential power over the company? Explain.

vi$.$ To what extent do customers have easy access to information, giving them influential power over the company? Explain.

b$.$ Sellers $($generally refers to the suppliers$)$

a$.$ To what degree does competition influence our company$$s supply chain? Are their many or few suppliers in the marketplace?

b$.$ To what extent do the suppliers large and successful, giving sellers influential power over the company?

c$.$ How much product does a typical company buy from these suppliers? $($Large purchases or small purchases$)$

d$.$ To what extent do suppliers have unique offerings, giving sellers influential power over the company? Explain.

e$.$ Is it difficult or expensive for the company to switch to substitutes for these supplies, giving sellers influential power over the

company? Explain.

c$.$ New Entrants $($generally refers to startups$)$

a$.$ What barriers to entry are in place for potential startups? To what degree does this impact established corporations? $($barriers

could include high cost, specialized knowledge required, government restrictions such as permits needed, res
