CRICOS Provider Code: 02219C BUSN20017 ǀ Assessment 2 ǀ Page | 1 ǀ School of Business and Law CQUniversity Australia ǀ BUSN20017: EFFECTIVE BUSINESS COMMUNICATION Assessment Two: Group and Individual Professional Presentation and Individual Written Report Task Description General Overview: This assessment is a simulation of a professional business presentation. Most organizations today will share information through the communication genre of the professional business presentation. This assessment will help you improve your competency in both written and professional business presentational communication. In addition, this assessment allows you to participate in and reflect upon group processes and interactions. This assessment has TWO PARTS. 1. Individually Written Report; 2. Group Recorded Video. You must follow the guidelines for this assessment as set out in this document and the accompanying video. Case Study: You are a manager and your boss has asked you to give a presentation about communication to members of your team. Your team’s communication skills are generally good, but you and your boss feel that these skills can be improved. You are an expert in the field of business communication, having successfully undertaken a Unit in Effective Business Communications. Each member of the group may pick one of the following areas: 1. Organisational communication 2. Small group/Team Communication 3. Intercultural Communication Having chosen a general area, you must then narrow the area to focus upon a specific topic or area within the general area. For example, if you have chosen to focus upon organisational communication, you could narrow the area to focus upon the topic of informal internal organisational communication. A broad focus on the general area will not result is a ‘high’ mark for this assessment. It is a good idea to consult with your tutor/lecturer about your topic—either in your Zoom lecture/tutorial/workshop or via email. You will need to identify 5 academic journal articles about your chosen topic. These articles will be discussed in the Individually Written Report and serve as evidentiary support within the presentation. Within your part of the presentation, you will need to include the following information: 1. The first part of your individual main point will define and explain the communication topic. 2. The second part of your individual main point will discuss the significance of the topic in terms of effective business communication practices. Assessment Weight: This assessment is worth 55% of your overall mark for this unit Groups: During the week three tutorial you will be able to sign up to be one member of a group of three. You may only present with those individuals enrolled within your tutorial—no exceptions. Failure to sign up for a group will result in your final mark being delayed. If you have not done so, please sign up to a group. There is a tutorial/workshop forum set up so you can ‘meet’ others enrolled. Participating in this forum may help you find other people with whom you wish to work. Due date: The Individually Written Report is due on Monday Week Eleven 11.55 PM (Brisbane Time) and Recorded Group Presentation is due Monday, Week Twelve at 11.55 PM (Brisbane time).
