1. Scenario Selection:
Choose ONE of the hypothetical scenarios listed on the ATTACHED CASE STUDIES PDF document as your case study for this Assignment. Download the document, read the scenarios, and choose the one that interests you. Guidance and sources to get you started are included with each case study.
2. Content Requirements:
Prepare a PowerPoint presentation (12 to 14 slides, excluding title slide and references slide) addressing the questions presented with the case study you choose. The PPT should cover the following elements. Be specific in your explanation. Broad generalizations will not be sufficient. Showcase your knowledge!
Introduction:
Briefly describe the scenario, including key facts and involved parties.
Legal Framework – Tort Law
Identify and explain the applicable tort law implicated in the case study including relevant legal principles and precedents. See Week 5 Lesson and Learning Materials. Include illustrative cases from your research to explain.
Risk Assessment:
Analyze and explain the type of legal risks for the business presented in the case study (e.g., damages, reputational impact, and regulatory consequences, if applicable).
Mitigation Strategies:
Evaluate and describe actionable strategies the business can implement to reduce risk (e.g., training, insurance, compliance protocols, operational changes, others?). What is appropriate will depend on your analysis of the specific case study you select).
Ethical Implications:
Evaluate and describe ethical considerations tied to the business’s actions and proposed solution you recommend as appropriate to the case study you select.
Conclusion and Recommendations:
Summarize your findings and provide clear recommendations for legal and ethical resolution of problem(s) presented in the case study you selected.
3. Visual and Professional Design:
Use visuals (e.g., charts, diagrams, relevant images) to enhance understanding.
Ensure professional formatting, consistency, and clarity.
4. Audio Speaker Notes (How-to Video provided):
This is a simulation for a live presentation to an audience. The Presentation shall be presented with an AUDIO narrative covering all slides (EXCEPT References slide).
The PPT program has an Audio accompaniment tool to use.
Written speaker’s notes can be included to provide research source references pertinent to a slide and helpful points, but the main “Speaker’s Notes” shall be your Audio speaking narrative. DO NOT READ SLIDES ALOUD. Your audio presentation is a narrative that tells and explains a story for which the Slides are the key points. You are speaking to an audience.
NOTE: An “AI narrator” is not acceptable. However, if you have a need for accommodation regarding use of audio please contact your instructor in advance.
