Scenario
The assessment requires you to produce a group presentation (4-5 students). Your presentation should be around 3000 words (Slides + Appendix Slides). Each group will be given 25 minutes to present, and each member must (equally) participate in the presentation.

The company here is the British Airways
- Automobile
- Airline
- Telecommunication
- Chain Restaurants
- Chain Hotels
Remember it must be a UK business and you have to analyse the UK environment for the business. We encourage you to choose a large organisation for which you are sure you can find a lot of relevant information through the e-library resources, company website, relevant industry reports. When choosing a company operating in several industries, please focus on one industry only as otherwise you will not have enough space to provide an accurate analysis.
Read the scenario above before undertaking the tasks which will include the following:
1. Provide a detailed introduction to your chosen business. - Luis
2. Using PESTLE analysis model discuss both the positive and negative influence/impact the macro environment has on your business. - Adi
3. Identify the key strengths and weakness of your business. Explain how it interrelates with your findings of the external environment discussed above. - Alex

recommendation. Remember the techniques you learnt in class for problem solving.
Format
The full presentation must contain 12-15 presentation slides followed by 7-8 appendix slides. The appendix slides themselves will not be used in the spoken presentation. The appendix slides should provide relevant information that supports the main points of the presentation for example, it may identify additional benefits or concerns, explain theoretical justifications, or provide tables, graphs or figures or other details which would be too crowded for the presented slides.
A full reference list should be included in a separate slide(s). Citations and references should be provided using the Harvard style.
Charts, diagrams, and figures may all be used wherever appropriate to the points being made. Please do not use footnote.
