Professor: Michael P. Ryan

Research Assignment

"Each student chooses a (real) company as a Personal Case Study to contribute to course discussions. Students investigate company cases through the many conceptual lenses provided regarding business-government relations in the course. Each student is welcome to select a company in any industry sector, such as but not limited to automobiles, consumer goods, energy, fashion, food services, healthcare and medical technology, information and communication technology, retail services. American and non-US-based companies are welcome personal case selections. Each student submits a four- to five-page, single-spaced, Personal Company Cases on an assigned day. Students are assigned topics as members of Group A, B, C, D, E. F, and G. Each student applies course concepts in real-world ways informed by the specialized research sources available in our library. On the assigned day, each student makes a 10-minute oral presentation without PPT. There is an “art” to engaging listeners without PowerPoint visuals. (1) Provide a narrative about the challenge or opportunity of corporate strategy in your case and your analysis of the strategic management of business-government relations. (2) Do not read your presentation. (3) Refer to 3x5/4x6 note cards, yet as little as possible. (4) Either make eye contact or glance around the room to blank spots to give the impression of eye contact. Each student contributes to our learning about the strategic management of business and government relations. Please find your course readings by clicking journal search on the library website."
