Communication is used to inform, to persuade and to analyze. In this assignment, you will write a speech that provides your audience information about a topic.

There are two (2) parts to be submitted in this assignment.  Your presentation should be submitted as follows:
•A Power Point presentation file that is like a visual outline, with bullet points and maybe images. This is what you would show your audience.
•A Word document containing the wording of the speech.  This is what you would say to your audience while you are showing them the Power Point presentation. 

You may add audio to your PowerPoint if you wish, but the script (Word doc) will still be required.  This allows us to process all assignments in Turnitin. 

Your speech should be between 1000 - 1250 words. It's important to stay within that range.  Good writers learn to adapt to size requirements of the writing they are asked to do.  You can use the word count of both files to calculate the total word count.

Your speech should include an introduction which identifies your main point, a body in which you provide support for your main point, and a conclusion that wraps up your presentation and says something about the significance of what you’ve presented, just as you would do in a paper.  The templates attached here give you good ideas of how the presentation and the speech script should look.

Be sure to look at the grading rubric for the assignment. There are specific limits on the amount of text on the slides. This is to help ensure that the font size stays big enough to be easily read.  You also need to provide a reference list as the last slide in your Power Point.
•PURPOSE:  To inform
•LENGTH:  1,000 -1250 words
•AUDIENCE:  A general audience of people interested in the topic, peers in the classroom
•SOURCES:  Total of 3, with 1-2 from the Library and 1-2 from discipline specific websites 
(The Unofficial Guide to Buying a Home Author:  Alan Perlis, Beth Bradley Date:  2004)

•FORMAT:  The citation style that is appropriate for your discipline and is appropriate for a speech
•DUE:  In ASSIGNMENTS by SUNDAY 11:55 pm EST of Week 3
•SUBMIT:  Submit your speech by uploading your Power Point file AND Word file to the Assignments tab.


WARNING:Remember that all work submitted is to be your own original work except where properly acknowledged and cited. Do not reuse work, papers, or speeches from previous (or concurrent) classes as this violates APUS academic integrity policies. (Make sure to note the section on self-plagiarism.) 


DISCLAIMER: Remember, originality of attachments will be verified by Turnitin. Both you and your instructor will receive the results.

Direct quotes should not exceed 15%-20% of your paper.  Anything more than this amount will receive a deduction.

Any papers with plagiarized materials will be turned in to Academics. Then the student will receive a note that a notice will be placed into their academic file. Should the student avoid a similar error throughout his/her college career, the note goes away upon graduation.

Bioglass, Inc. specializes in sales of a wide array of glass products. One area of the company, the commercial sales division (CSD), specializes in selling high-tech mirrors and microscope and photographic lenses. Sales associates in CSD are responsible for selling the glass products to corporate clients. CSD has four levels of sales associates, ranging in pay from $28,000 to $76,000 per year. There are also page 545four levels of managerial positions; those positions range in pay from $76,000 to $110,000 per year.
Tom Caldwell has been a very effective sales associate. He has consistently demonstrated good sales techniques in his 17 years with Bioglass and has a large and loyal client base. Over the years, Tom has risen from the lowest level of sales associate to the highest. He has proved himself successful at each stage. An entry-level management position in CSD opened up last year, and Tom was a natural candidate. Although several other candidates were considered, Tom was the clear choice for the position.
However, once in the position, Tom had a great deal of difficulty being a manager. He was not accustomed to delegating and rarely provided feedback or guidance to the people he supervised. Although he set goals for himself, he never set performance goals for his workers. Morale in Tom’s group was low, and group performance suffered. The company felt that demoting Tom back to sales would be disastrous for him and present the wrong image to other employees; firing such a loyal employee was considered unacceptable. Therefore, Bioglass decided to keep Tom where he was but not consider him for future promotions. It was also considering enrolling Tom in some expensive managerial development programs to enhance his management skills.
Meanwhile, Tom’s replacement, although successful at the lower three levels of sales associate positions, was struggling with the large corporate contracts that the highest-level sales associates must service. Two of Tom’s biggest clients had recently left Bioglass for a competitor. CSD was confused about how such a disastrous situation had developed when they seemed to make all the right decisions.
Based on this application and your reading of this chapter, answer the following questions:

APA 7

1. What is the likely cause of CSD’s problems?

2. How might CSD, and Bioglass more generally, make better promotion decisions in the future? Be specific.
