International Business Performance Appraisal 6AG504.

a) Mind map of presentation and Topic is Management Control (but if you want you can choose another one because I did randomly but we just need to notify the professors as fast as we can).
Also, can you please write me a text for presenting the presentation (should be 3 minutes to present it)?
The professor didn’t say about the number of PowerPoint slides and sources, so can you please do as much as you can?
If you have any questions please write to me.
Best regards

A) Mind Map (10% of this coursework)
The mind map of your presentation will summarise what you are intending to cover in the presentation. This will be submitted on-line via Turnitin
and you will present it face to face to your tutor. You will have up to 3 minutes to present it.
Look at the topics above and choose one that interests you. Then structure an appropriate question to focus your presentation on.
For example:
Do small businesses need formal management control systems?
Do people only do their job if they are paid a financial reward on top of their salary?
Do people need to be motivated to do a good job?
Is the balanced scorecard still relevant today?
Do companies need to produce a budget?
Make sure that you can introduce your chosen topic, critically analyse/evaluate it, and then conclude it with an appropriate answer.
If you are not sure about your presentation title then please come and confirm it with your tutor.

How did you feel during the presentation? Why did you feel this way?
What did you enjoy and why? What did you dislike and why?
What knowledge do you have now that you didn’t have before? What skills do you have now that you didn’t have before?
As a result of the coursework and also using the reflective writing what do you know about yourself that you didn’t previously know?
What will you do with what you have learned? What would you do differently if you had to do all this again?
