´Assignment 2:
Innovation and Communication Presentation
´Listed below are the
names of some of the world’s top technology-related innovators. They have also
been called leaders, entrepreneurs, disrupters, or good old-fashioned
trouble-makers. They have gone against the odds, rattling stale industries to
build new ones. Recognize their names? Not likely, though you may instantly
recognize their product, technology, or scientific inventions, which have made
headlines. However, their success would not be possible without the effective
management of team members. For this assignment, you are required to choose two
people from the list and create a PowerPoint presentation.
´First, choose two
leaders from the list below:
´Caleb Chung
´Cory Booker
´Craig Venter
´DanOlschwang
´Diane Greene
´HjalmarWinbladh
´JeremyStoppelman
´Mark Gorton
´Russell Simmons
´SunilShaunak
´Now, respond to the
following:
´Utilize your research
and identify the methods these innovators or leaders are using to communicate
through technology in an effort to remain relevant in their industries.
´Explain how
technology has advanced each of their businesses, leading to growth.
´Determine if
innovative products, such as Google X,iWatch, or the new Cardboard Bike, can be linked to
transformational or transactional leadership. Defend your position.
´Self-managed teams
are often used to hide inventions from public view. Utilizing your research,
identify ways managers and project leaders working under constraints can
accomplish this.
´Develop a 4–6-slide
presentation in PowerPoint format. Include detailed speaker notes in your
presentation. Utilize at least two scholarly sources (in addition to your
textbook) to complete your research, referencing sources within the text and at
the end in a reference list. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use
the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M4_A2.ppt.
´Make sure you write
in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship
through accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display
accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
