Abstract:

Alumni are an underutilized resource for input on the oral presentation skills employees need at work and what should be taught in oral-presentation-focused business communication courses. Yet they are in a unique position to assess the utility of what they learned and recommend coursework changes. In survey responses, 1,610 business alumni who make oral presentations two or three times per month on average recommended more instruction on how to present business data visually, more impromptu presentations, more help dealing with difficult audiences and with nervousness, and three to five presentations assigned in oral presentation courses for business students.

Abstract:

AbstractPresentations are the most successful and popular form of communication in business. However, the formats of presentations in business have not changed much for past few decades. The emergent and disruptive technologies such as Augmented Reality and Animated Infographics have provided potential for enhancing communications in businesses to increase engagement and therefore increasing the effectiveness of such communications. This paper focuses on the impact and effectiveness of using interactive AR in business presentations. The paper presents the design and development of our AR presentation application. Followed by a presentation of an empirical study into the usability and effectiveness of using Augmented Reality and Animated Infographics in business presentation and compares the results against the traditional slideware slides presentation approach. The results of the experiment with 94 participants are presented and analysed. The results demonstrate that the AR approach out performs the traditional methods in terms of usability, audience engagement and effectiveness of communication.

Abstract:

Pedagogical practice related to oral business presentations has received little research attention despite the pervasiveness of oral presentations in business class rooms and their perceived importance to workplace success. This study collected data on three groups (self, peers, and instructor) to address four research ques tions related to (a) the usefulness of self and peer ratings as substitutes for instruc, tor evaluation of oral business presentations and (b) the relationship between vari ous content and non-content factors on overall perceptions of presentation quality. Data from this study suggest that (1) both holistic and analytical peer assessments are reasonable substitutes for instructor assessment when raters are trained; (2) self assessment does not closely reflect either peer or instructor assessments; and (3) peer assessment of delivery characteristics, command of material, and content strongly predict peer ratings of overall presentation quality.

Abstract:

Abstract Presentation skills are one of the most important tools that are required on numerous occasions in education and business. In most of the business and economics colleagues, presentation skills are taught as part of the curriculum, of at least several courses. Therefore, it could be expected that presentation skills would be highly developed among business and economics students. However, in practice, people develop numerous fears and barriers to the presentation in public. On the other hand, students do not behave in the same manner taking into account their fear towards the presentation in public. The goal of the paper is to investigate if there are homogenous groups of students according to their attitude towards the presentation, both as sources of success and as a source of fear. Cluster analysis has been employed to fulfil the paper goal. Non-hierarchical k-means analysis has been conducted on data collected by the research instrument about the benefits and fears from the presentations on the sample of students enrolled in business and economics colleagues. Results indicate that there are homogenous groups of students according to presentation perceived benefits and fears, but the composition of these groups indicates that perceived benefits and fears of presentations are not always related in the same direction.

Abstract:

The paper features the phenomenon of business presentation as an indispensable tool that can allow foreign trade companies to enter the foreign market. Each stage of this technological process requires a business presentation for every format of interaction with a potential foreign partner. A well-made presentation of a company, product, service, or project facilitates the search and retention of a prospective partner. It is a go-to tool used on various interaction platforms, e.g. fairs, exhibitions, business missions, conferences, business meetings, negotiations, etc. The paper defines the basic types of business presentations: company presentation, product/service, business project presentation, and commercial offer presentation. The article presents the key aspects of preparing for an effective business presentation aimed at foreign companies. When preparing a presentation for a business event, one has to plan in advance how the main elements will constitute the presentation as a whole. The "presentation field" consists of the space (external and internal environment) and the "main actors" involved in the presentation of goods or services. The prospect of further cooperation with foreign companies depends on how the Russian company analyses the ability to attract potential partners, prepares for the event, and selects the format of presentation.

Abstract:

This book is not for generic business presentation tips. However, it provides several tried-and-tested presentation elements. It will help the presenter to enlighten, influence, and excite the audience. Each chapter is segmented into “Know” and “How” sections to help you grasp the idea and use it in your business presentation. This book will help you maximize your presentations to a group, relevant stakeholders, or a digital/online presentation. For example, learning to promote yourself professionally, amaze your audience, start, end, and transition your presentation. It also includes ideas on designing a presentation outline, practicing, and presenting. This book presents eight golden steps for delivering business presentations: 1) understanding the target audience’s viewpoints, 2) mastering the topic of the presentation, 3) outlining the presentation (e.g., topics, structure, rules), 4) summarizing the presentation, 5) handling the questions effectively and straightforwardly, 6) concluding the comments and responses effectively, and 7) using both verbal and non-verbal communications effectively during the presentation., and 8) the way forward, beyond this book. A business presentation must be well-prepared and consider ways to impress the audience (Sweeney, 2003). Moreover, a presenter must have an idea to map their mind to organize their talks during the presentation (Buzan & Abbott, 2006).

Abstract:

The increasing internationalisation of business, industry, science and academia has led to greater importance being given to the ability to present ideas and concepts to an international audience, using English as the language medium. This applies to large conference gatherings but also to business presentations . Through my somewhat unusual background as a manager from industry who later became a teacher of English as a foreign language, I have always been intrigued by the status awarded to people who can perform well in business presentations. I hold multi-disciplinary qualifications in Electrical Engineering (Diploma), Business (B.Ed. and MBA) and Applied Linguistics (MA and Post Grad. Diplomas in TEFL and TOESOL), and these have provided a unique window with which to view the business presentation and the skills needed to be successful. The basis of the paperIt is suggested that the skills required for a successful business presentation by non-native speakers, are rooted in both linguistic and sociolinguistic aspects. These then combine with elements of cultural awareness and non-verbal signposting. Through an analysis of the speech act, speech community and speech norms, it is argued that business presentations in many large international companies contain set phrases and non-verbal signals which are similar, irrespective of the subject presented. Many of these phrases and signals are used naturally by native speakers. However, they need to be taught to non-native speakers through awareness raising and process methods.

Abstract:

The paper focuses on oral presentations for business purposes in a foreign language (Russian). As an audio-visual discourse type, presentations require general communicative skills, presentation techniques, language proficiency, and the knowledge of culturally embedded, pragmatic practices which meet the expectations of the auditory. Against this background, this paper examines how native speakers of Russian perceive presentations by Russian speaking foreigners. This perceptual approach allows us to analyze a large complex of linguistic and non-linguistic features of presentations and to shed light on the expectations built up towards the realization of this discourse type within a certain language culture. Special attention is paid to linguistic characteristics of spoken communication that lead to the perception of a non-native accent, and towards the qualitative and quantitative impact of different types of linguistic errors on the evaluations by a native auditory.

Abstract:

In Malaysia, English as a second language is used as a medium of instruction in most institutions of higher learning. Although it is compulsory to use English as a medium of instruction for all academic programmes, code-switching is still prevalent in the classroom for instance during an oral presentation. This phenomenon is also common among the students in the bachelor’s degree in International Business (BIB) at a private university in Selangor, Malaysia that became the context of this study. Hence, this research aimed to explore the BIB students’ perceptions on the utilisation of code-switching during oral presentations, and to identify the frequency of its usage in their speech. The participants of this study were 203 students from the Faculty of Business Management and Professional Studies (FBMP) of a private university in Selangor, Malaysia, who are currently doing their bachelor’s degree in International Business. The research instrument employed was a questionnaire that was accessible through a google form link by all the 203 students. Descriptive statistics were run to analyse the data collected. The findings of this study revealed that the students perceived positively the use of code-switching during oral presentations. Majority of them agreed that they code-switched to overcome their lack of proficiency in English such as limited vocabulary, and to ease their oral presentations. Most of the students admitted they frequently code-switched during oral presentations. From these findings, important implications and recommendations for future research were elucidated.

Abstract:

Background: The DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10 provide criteria necessary for a diagnosis of mania. This paper, in the context of business, evaluates the influences of gender, culture, race/ethnicity on mania and the presentation of mania. Group membership impacts on presentation of mania are not specified in either diagnostic tool. Despite general criteria having been identified to warrant a diagnosis of Mania, there is still a need to acknowledge differences that may arise in presentation of Mania due to demographic variations in the individual. Methods: A brief review of literature regarding Mania was conducted. Information relevant to treatment, diagnoses and presentation within individuals with varying gender, culture, race/ethnicity were reviewed and then compared to standardized diagnostic manuals and procedures. Results: Presentation of mania varies based on group membership. Few publications provide clear presentations of mania within any demographic minority. The DSM-IV-TR and ICD-90 do not account for differences in the presentation of mania due to group membership. Despite the limited amount of publications available, peer-reviewed publications indicate variations in presentation based on group membership. Relatively few publications originate in the US, despite high prevalence of many minority groups. Lack of specificity in diagnostic guidelines, cohesive literature, and adequate training of professionals contribute to misdiagnoses within certain populations. Conclusion: Additional research is suggested to increase the understanding of clinical presentations within groups varying in gender, culture and race/ethnicity. Training and mentoring future clinicians to identify and appreciate these individual differences in the business environment is essential.

Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic led to changes in business communication. As face-to-face communication was no longer possible, many businesses shifted to Zoom because of its ease of use and user-friendly functionality. One unique context in which users were forced to transition to fully online communication was entrepreneurs’ pitch presentations. This study aims to explore whether users intend to continue to use Zoom for these important investment meetings after the pandemic. The study was guided by the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Usage of Technology (UTAUT) model. We surveyed 127 business investors in Korea. The results indicated that performance expectancy and social influence were positively associated with investors’ intentions to use Zoom for entrepreneurs’ pitch presentations in a voluntary setting (i.e., after the pandemic restrictions are fully lifted). Effort expectancy and facilitating conditions were not significantly related to investors’ intentions. The findings help us to better understand the use of video communication within business contexts after the pandemic.

Abstract:

In today's digital era, presentations play a crucial role in various domains, ranging from education to business. However, traditional manual presentation methods, reliant on input devices such as keyboards or clickers, have inherent limitations in terms of mobility, interactivity, and user experience. To address these limitations, gesture-controlled presentations have emerged as a promising solution, harnessing the power of computer vision techniques to interpret hand gestures and enable natural interaction with presentation content. This paper presents a comprehensive system for hand gesture-controlled presentations using OpenCV and MediaPipe libraries. OpenCV is employed to capture video input from a webcam, while MediaPipe is utilized for hand tracking and landmark extraction. By analyzing finger positions and movements, the system accurately recognizes predefined gestures. Presenters can seamlessly control the slides, hold a pointer, annotate the content, and engage with the audience in a more interactive manner. The responsiveness and real-time performance contribute to an enhanced presentation experience.

Abstract:

SUMMARY Fraud risk assessment remains a demanding and complex task for auditors (Allen et al. 2006; Wilks and Zimbelman 2004). Our research context is planning of an audit when an accounting fraud has been committed and management has provided a fraudulent explanation for better-than-expected profitability. We test whether a business model versus a chronological presentation of client strategic and business process evidence will result in more precise expectations of a client's nonfraudulent revenue and higher assessments of a seeded fraud. When management provided a fraudulent explanation, the users of the business model presentation achieved better judgments by making more valid use of nonfinancial performance measures relative to fraudulent assertions made by management. When management did not provide a fraudulent explanation, there were no differences in judgment performance given the two evidence presentations. Data Availability Contact the first author.

Abstract:

This study explores the impact of using TED Talks on improving oral presentation skills of Business English students and vocabulary uptake/retention. It also assesses the impact of improving such hard cognitive skills on increasing Business majors’ speaking anxiety level. Sequential explanatory mixed method was used, which includes both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analyses. Business students’ oral presentation skills were assessed through Oral Presentation Skills Sheet (OPSS), vocabulary retention was assessed through Vocabulary Uptake/Retention Test (VURT), and speaking anxiety level was assessed through Personal Report of Public Speaking Anxiety (PRPSA) (Mörtberg, Jansson-Fröjmark, Pettersson, & Hennlid-Oredsson, 2018). Participants in the study consist 49 students, who were divided into two groups; experimental group consisting of 24 students, and control group that includes 25 Business English majors. Findings of the study revealed that oral presentation skills and vocabulary uptake/retention levels were improved due to the use of TED talks as an ICT tool. Also, it was revealed that Business majors in the experimental group are more enthusiastic, energetic and motivated to give killer presentations as they became more confident and free of anxiety and tension.

Abstract:

This article explores pedagogical frameworks closely associated with d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing persons from the perspective of a disabled instructor to increase student awareness of the needs of diverse audiences they will encounter in the workforce. The author argues that students and instructors can use captioning theory to strategize one of the harder business communication genres, the presentation, for d/Deaf audiences to make communication more accessible. By raising critical awareness of the limits of technology, current trends in pedagogy, and disability, this article seeks to further the conversation about providing accessibility for disabled users in the classroom.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to consider the structure of entertainment media as a possible foundation for measuring aspects of visual presentations that could enhance or interfere with audience engagement. Design/methodology/approach – Factors that might account for the large number of negative comments about visual presentations are identified and a method of calculating entropy measurements for form attributes of presentations is introduced. Findings – Entropy calculations provide a numerical measure of structural elements that account for engagement or distraction. A set of peer evaluations of educational presentations is used to calibrate a distraction factor algorithm. Research limitations/implications – Distraction as a consequence of document structure might enable engineering of a balance between document structure and content in document formats not yet explored by mechanical entropy calculations. Practical implications – Mathematical calculations of structural elements (form attributes) support what multimedia presentation viewers have been observing for years (documented in numerous journals and newspapers from education to business to military fields): engineering PowerPoint presentations necessarily involves attention to engagement vs distraction in the audience. Originality/value – Exploring aspects of document structures has been demonstrated to calibrate viewer perceptions to calculated measurements in moving image documents, and now in images and multimedia presentation documents extending Claude Shannon's early work communication channels and James Watt and Robert Krull's work on television programming.

Abstract:

Serious gaming is one of the newest developments in the world of learning and is gaining increasing attention within the business environment. Although many practitioners claim that serious gaming has more impact on demonstrated behaviour of trainees when compared to common presentations, little evidence exists. In this paper, the authors present an experiment that builds a foundation for proving that serious gaming is more effective than presentations in ensuring people demonstrate a specific set of behaviours within a training setting. The experiment involved addressing the same content a number of times by either holding a presentation or playing a serious game. Consequently, participants' behaviour was measured within a business simulation environment. Results demonstrate that experiencing failure is an important element of learning and that most learning occurs during a game debriefing when participants reflect on their experiences. The importance of learning elements like goal setting, feedback and challenge is demonstrated as well.

Abstract:

Women, who are members of the Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) program, play a key role in improving the welfare of their families and surrounding communities. Unfortunately, many of them still have not obtained adequate knowledge and skills to start and develop businesses that may increase their family’s economic welfare and create new jobs. Realizing this, several members of the Entrepreneurship Teaching Team from De La Salle University Manado took the initiative to hold a Community Service activity in Sindulang Satu Urban Village with the local members of PKK program as participants. In this activity, the implementation methods are as follows: presentations of materials, presentations of ongoing business by students, discussions, and questionnaires distribution. The result of this activity is the improvement in participants' knowledge and motivation to become entrepreneurs, shown by their enthusiasm during presentation and discussion sessions. The results of the questionnaire also show that the main motivation that drives local PKK women to become entrepreneurs is the desire not to depend economically on their husbands and parents.

Abstract:

Starting from an understanding of contemporary society as occupied with a dominant trend in image-boosting, the study explores how school-age educare centers engage in edu-business when promoting themselves through self-presentations on their websites. Using a qualitative method with an analytical attention directed towards unexpected angles, these self-presentations are problematized in terms of discursive impression management and with a focus on how messages are communicated by using different discursive resources to make the presentations trustworthy and selling. The edubusiness logic found on the websites is not primarily about competition between different school-age educare centers, but is instead about competition between compulsory school and school-age educare, as well as the choice to participate or not in the education offered in the school-age educare centers.

Abstract:

Communication is the process of communicating thoughts or information from one person to another. We translate our ideas into effective communication when we do it in a straightforward manner. When two parties communicate, one acts as the transmitter and the other as the receiver. For a Business to succeed, effective communication is crucial. Without communication with its customers, employees, or other businesses, a business cannot function. Effective corporate communication is crucial because it builds brand recognition and client loyalty. It strengthens the bonds between management and employees. Effective business requires good communication. An organization, service, or product can be promoted with the use of business communication. The way business communicators interact with both internal and external users will determine how it grows. Businesses can connect with their linked parties through a variety of techniques, such as video conferencing, email, letters, presentations, in-person meetings, etc. Businesses operate in changing environments, where better decisions may be made through good communication. The goal of Business communication is the same as the goal of communication in general, which includes entertaining, influencing, informing, and educating. A business communication's goal must be consistent with the accomplishment of institutional and organizational goals, both formal and informal, including social This paper will cover the purposes of successful communication, strategies for effective business communication, and the effectiveness of business communication in the modern business world.

Abstract:

This study sheds light on the types and frequencies of kinesic signs used in business pitches by entrepreneurs in Spanish and English, as well as the functions these nonverbal signs fulfil to contribute to the persuasiveness of their presentations. The corpus consists of 20 pitches (10 in each language) from two equivalent TV programs (the reality shows Dragons’ Den and Tu Oportunidad from the UK and Spain, respectively). A specific method of analysis previously developed by Cestero Mancera is used to identify signs in an inductive, qualitative way that allows us to apply a quantitative methodology to distinguish among the different subpopulations of the subjects studied (male and female presenters in Spanish and English presentations). The results show that facial gesturing is the most frequent type used by all presenters, although speakers of each language seem to have diverse preferences for the rest of the signs (head, hand and other body gestures). Kinesic signs apparently display the same pragmatic functions in Spanish and English, although they are more frequently used in Spanish (63.78% of the 784 signs found) than English (36.22%). Gender may be considered an influential factor when observed within the same language but not as a variable; furthermore, gender preferences are reversed when associated with language (i.e., female Spanish presentations display the most signs, while English presentations by females display the least; male presentations are in between these, there being more in Spanish than in English presentations).

Abstract:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, presentations with several participants that previously took place face-to-face have increasingly been held via online communication. This trend is still there in business communication. Therefore, the effect of different online presentation forms remains relevant for communication research. In the methodological framework of the work, the effect of cinematic staging on the impact of the two cues, the information presented and the person presenting it was then examined using an experimental study. An online survey-based between-subjects experiment with a single factor (video presentation with cinematic staging versus without cinematic staging) was conducted with 194 participants from Germany. The results confirmed the persuasive effects of cinematic staging on the effectiveness of communication. Hence, cinematic staging increases the persuasive effect of the information presented and the person presenting it. Memory recall of the presented content is also enhanced in video presentations. The study has theoretical and practical implications.
