Instructions:

A lot of times in your career you have to present results to management or a committee instead of submitting $($or in addition to$)$ a formal document. I would like to use this case study to give you a chance to practice this. The ability to create a well structured and polished presentation is an additional skill that will contribute to your future success.

Therefore the case will be done in Power Point and the template is below the case description. This is a "very raw" structure with a framework, please be creative regarding the design $($e$.$g$.$ under "Design" in Power Point there are various options$)$ and remember some basic rules for a good Power Point presentation:

$>$ if text, then bullet point style, no paragraphs or series of sentences

$>$ make sure the font size is big enough for a presentation

$>$ sentences mainly in form of statements in just one line

$>$ every statement has to be short, focused and precise

$>$ add some images$/$graphs etc. to make it appealing

$>$ fine tune it graphically at the end $($consistency of fonts, font sizes, alignments, etc.$)$

The case has to be submitted in Power Point, please use this opportunity to practice. Remember, you have a lot less space than in Word $($you have max. $5$ slides, no more like provided in the template$),$ so you have to focus in your answers on the essence and create strong and short statements.

Q$2$: Solve Problems and Activities $4$ and $5$ of chapter $6.(20$ points$)$ This question is submitted in a Word or Excel file.
