Power point material doesn’t necessarily have to be narrative or very detailed, however, should include sufficient information for the audience to understand your preparation and readiness. Each member is expected to make valuable and equitable contributions to the team efforts including team presentation. For the project, select a firm (manufacturing/service) of your interest and its two comparable competitors in the same industry. The presentation team should lead the class discussion and be prepared for the questions from the class. Peer evaluation is required at the end of the project.
