Throughout the course so far, you have been exposed to many technology concepts and industries. A key thread among the industries is how technical innovation helps organizations innovate, integrate, and thrive. Many organizations start by addressing problems by creating a business use. A business will create a use case in the following manner:

• They identify a business problem.
• Next, they identify all the shortcoming in that business .
• The organization will look for business and technical solutions that can solve the focused problem.
• The organization will then identify the cost associated with the business problem.
• The organization then creates a plan based on all the collective factors addressed in the previous bullets mentioned.

Blockchain technology adoption is one area that organizations are now actively looking at as the next horizon in securitization and record keeping management. The image below shows the business segmentation that we most often break Blockchain down into from a potential business perspective

Your assignment as a GROUP is to present a business use case where Blockchain Technology can address a significant challenge within the industry

• Automotive
• Healthcare Payers
• Pharmaceuticals
• Supply Chains / Manufacturing
• Retail / B2B
• Aerospace / Defense
• Energy / Utility
• Information and Communication Industry
• Education

Each group will be required to create a POWERPOINT PRESENTATION (not a TERM PAPER). In the POWERPOINT PRESENTATION, you are to convince the executive leadership in your company (think CEO, CTO, CIO, CFO) why the use of Blockchain Technology will solve your business problem. The presentation must include the following:

• A overview of the industry listed
• Key industry players in the industry
• What are three to five major business problems in the industry today?
• Select ONE of these problems that can be solved using blockchain technology? (This is the overview to the use case)
• What are five ways the problem can be solved using blockchain technology? (This is the details to the use case)Who will the blockchain innovation impact in the organization?
  • You must explain – the what, how, why for each.
• What is the cost associated with the innovation?
• What do you foresee the outcome to be should the organization implement the blockchain technology innovation?
• Are there any technical challenges/roadblocks that the organization should be aware of that may prevent a successful implementation?
• Provide a clear and convincing closing to why this solution is the best way forward for the organization.

How the assignment will be graded:

• The presentation should be a MINIMUM of 20 slides (including Cover and References). The deck should NOT EXCEED 25 pages.
• You should make the presentation for an executive audience. That means, Times New Roman or Arial Font Face, Size 14-18 for text. Size 20-24 for headers. (20% of your grade is presentational design)

Instructions
Course objective: CO2. Explain how ethical frameworks shape business decisions. Prompt: Select and research ONE of the following companies that has been in the news for an ethical dilemma. Prepare a PowerPoint about this company’s ethical dilemma and resulting ethical failure, according to the following instructions. Sources are provided to assist you getting started (click company name link). You will need to further research the company as well as applicable ethical frameworks and related law in your text and required readings. NOTE: In preparing this project, refer to your Week 1 Lesson Readings and Resources on ethical frameworks. CHOOSE ONE OF THESE COMPANIES/ISSUES: The Links are a factual starting point for your information and further research. 1.  Boeing  – 737 MAX-8 Jet death crashes. 2.  Purdue Pharma  – opioid crisis, deceptive marketing. The following resources will also assist your PowerPoint. · What is Ethical Dilemma? · Checklist of guidelines when you face ethical dilemmas · Guidelines to Prepare an APA PowerPoint · How to Add Speaker Notes in PowerPoint Assignment Instructions: 1. Create a 12– 15 slide PowerPoint presentation that includes: · Title slide with your name, course, date, school, title of presentation; · Agenda slide – This lists the key points covered in the PPT; · Content slides containing bullet points information with illustrations, diagrams, pictures, graphics etc., as appropriate to the slide’s content; · Speaker’s notes on each slide – either text presented in the Speaker Notes section at the bottom of the slides or Audio through your Voice speaking (or both); (Note: Speaker’s Notes are not duplication of the text on the slides. They are explanatory narrative.) 2. Identify the company you selected; · explain the company and its industry; · provide the factual background of the problem; and · clearly state the ethical dilemma presented by the situation. There should be only ONE ethical dilemma. The company had two choices: the act it chose and an alternative it did not do. 3. Identify and define at least one ethical framework that the company apparently employed in making its decision. Note — Not “Should have used.” It is not acceptable to say it did not act ethically or did not use a framework. Analyze it. Frameworks include utilitarianism, free market ethics, deontology, virtue ethics , etc., covered in your course readings. 4. Then, identify and define at least one ethical framework that the company should have used when the problem arose, and explain how to apply it for them to have reached a better result than what actually happened. Be clear. 5. Identify and explain measures the company should implement to avoid this type of problem in the future. 6. Within your discussion include whether the company had a code of ethics or policy that seemed to apply to the situation, and if so, what went wrong with that? 7. Explain what business leadership in any company can learn from this situation. 8. Have a conclusion that wraps up the key points. 9. Include a Reference slide with at least seven (7) credible sources listed in APA format. (NOTE: Sources must be cited in slides and speaker’s notes for direct quotes, specific facts and graphics, same as in a paper, per APA format. If you are doing audio speaker notes, you would mention the source in your speaking narrative.) (Reminder; we are using APA 7th Ed. format.) 10. Your PPT should have a professional slide background and graphics on each slide. (See rubric) 11. Submit your presentation here in the Assignments section, as a PowerPoint attachment. 12. Please compress your PPT (zip file) if necessary for uploading. There are several sources online to help you with compressing a PowerPoint presentation.

The following screenshot citation is: Godin, S. (2014, July 12). Fix your really bad PowerPoint. [PPT Presentation.] Slide 40. Slideshare. Retrieved from https://www.slideshare.net/slidecomet/fix-your-really-bad-powerpoint-slidecomet-based-on-an-ebook-bysethgodin

 

 

Put your details in your Speaker’s Notes below each slide which conveys for your reference what you will cover in detail in presenting that slide. The audience to a presentation does not see the Speaker’s Notes but they are important for you to make a complete presentation with explanatory material that is not contained on the slides.

(And for Assignment 6 –your prof. will be reading these in evaluating your presentation.) Your challenge is to put the appropriate key words, using bullet point designations, on your slides (with appropriate visuals) to communicate what you need on the slide, and then expand your presentation with your Speaker’s Notes for that slide. Speaker’s notes are NOT a duplication of what is printed on a slide. VISUALS – Note no. 2 on Godin’s list above: Use images that relate to the presentation and the material on that particular slide. You want your presentation to look professional and capture interest. Images should contribute to the topic. Warning: Do not superimpose your slide text on top of images that clutter the slide and make the text difficult to read. Visuals should add to, not mask, the message. Beware of colors. Bright oranges and reds “scream” at the audience. Heavy black backgrounds or similar dark color boxes are depressing and difficult to read.
