Informative Speech (Audio and Visual) – Most Admired Business or Business Person
For this speech, you will inform or teach us about your most admired business organization or person.
Your presentation should be 3-5 minutes in length. You should incorporate at least two sources in your speech. Only one of your sources can be a random internet source. Sources from scholarly databases such as Galileo or ProQuest are not considered random. However, all sources that have not been edited or peer-reviewed are considered untrustworthy.
The goal of this assignment is to adapt your topic to the audience, use a clear organizational pattern, present an extemporaneous speech, and formulate an outline that you will turn in along with your speech. You may use note cards or a copy of your outline to present your speech. Please do not attempt to type your speech out word for word. Using a word-for-word outline can result in reading directly from your paper and will result in a point deduction.
Evaluation of the informative speech will focus on organization, content, and delivery.
It is recommended that you use Screencast-o-Matic to record your presentation. Refer to the tutorials below for guidance on uploading your speech to Blackboard.
Below are four tutorials to help you upload videos in various formats.

Best Financial Ratios
This week, we covered Financial Statements. A Financial Statement is the use of different calculations and formulas to determine the financial health of an organization. Lean Manufacturing and Activity Analysis is about eliminating waste and focusing on the movement of goods and services with respect to customer demand. In regard to financial statements, please pick out four ratios that would best analyze the company you chose in Week 1’s threaded discussions. Discuss why these are the best calculations for the company you chose, and in detail explain how they effectively analyze the financial health of that firm.
