Assignment Brief:

During our classes together you will work with your team to apply some of the key concepts we look at in class to various sectors and industries, that you team will be allotted each week for the purpose of class. During class we will look at 8 topics:

For your assignment, your group will make a group presentation outlining your recommendations for a strategy for ‘old’ Dundrum shopping centre site. Imagine you are presenting not only to the owners of ‘Old Dundrum’ but also to a representative group of all the stakeholders.  I want your recommendations based on learning from class, group discussion and analysis, academic research and research on a range of similar industry players. Presentations should be be via Powerpoint, (please avoid Prezzi which consistently causes difficulties). All team members must participate and should all be familiar with all parts of the presentation.  I will ask questions of all team members during the presentation. Aim for a 50 minute presentation including 15 minutes question and answer.

Please provide me with a printed copy of the slides at the presentation to which you have attached your stakeholder analysis described above and a copy of the assignment submission sheet signed by all team members and email me a pdf copy of the slides used. Your print out copy should be no more than two slides per page. Please include photos and names of your team members in the first slide. All research must be properly referenced in your presentation (both on the slide where it is used and in a ref list at the end) and there should be a greater focus on academic research than on internet sources. I reserve the right to mark individuals separately if it is clear that someone has not put work into the presentation.
