There is a strong likelihood that we will go over time with this current schedule.
Please try to keep your presentations to around 8:30 and then we will get everyone in on time. Of course if the first group wants to start earlier that will also be very acceptable and appreciated.

Present Like Steve Jobs
Here are the main points from the Present Like Steve Jobs Video
1. Set the Theme (What is the story you are going to tell?)
2. Provide the Outline (Where are you going to take the audience?)
3. Clear transitions between points in the outline (That's done and now we are going to...)
4. Be Passionate (Believe in what you are presenting and your knowledge)
5. Sell an Experience (Reinforce branding)
6. Use Analogies (Create a connection and context to aid the understanding of numbers)
7. Minimize Clutter (Don't put too much of anything on the screen)
8. Use Strong Visuals (Quality not Quantity)
9. Give a Show (Engage the audience is what you are presenting)
10. Have a "MOMENT." (The point in the presentation that everyone has been waiting for)
11. Rehearse, Rehearse, Rehearse (The best presenters do it and so should you)
12. ...One More Thing... (provide an encore to the presentation and leave the audience feeling good)
You should also take a good look at the Professional Presentations Flash that I showed you in class.

Human Resource Results
Here are the results of your responses to the Human Resource Survey

Full Appreciation of Work 8 1 6 6 4 5

So you can see that there are some dramatic differences between what you are looking for in a job and what people around the world are seeking. This tells us that we need to take people on their own terms and do not generalize them. There were some people in the class who did not fall strictly in this scheme and all of you seem to be different from those who have participated in a 64 year study of differences between worker expectations and manager perceptions of worker expectations.

The Success Exercise
Here are my findings for the Success Exercise:
I altered some of the categories as the searching was not simple. I also checked many different resources.
The key in the search is not trusting any one source two easily. The first step is to figure out is the source is selling something that might be related to their report of the best. The second step is determine if your source is trustworthy, are they honest about how the data was found, do they talk about where there might be errors, do they footnote their statements and provide references to show they have done some research. The third step is to find multiple sources that provide the same or very similar information. The final step is to decide if the information you found is worth passing along to other people, if it doesn't feel right don't report it to others.

PE Ratio & Next Week
PE ratio cannot be calculated when a company is loosing money. So there are no PE ratios for the companies we are comparing.
To look for a PE ratio go to finance.yahoo.com and check out Shanda, TVB and Disney. They all have very healthy PE ratios.
For comparing the companies you can still use the other measures as they will give you a sense of relative corporate health in an economy that is very difficult at the current time. Here in Hong Kong and in the Mainland we are not feeling the real impact of the "Financial Tsunami" so it is not surprising that these entertainment companies are struggling.
This could actually be an opportunity. The stock prices for these three will be low because of the economy and the fact that they lost money last year. So if you compare them and decide that one has a better future and a better chance for recovery in the future than the others then you might actually be able to invest and take advantage of the current situation. But you will need to look at these companies through the numbers and through their descriptions of their business(es). What do you think about their chances on the basis of this information? This is what you will briefly present from your seat on Monday.
As you look you need to keep in mind that before the iPod Apple Computer was in exactly this position and we all should have bought stock at that moment in time. If you believe in a company's products, services or approach to business then you find it easier to invest. If you are investing when their stock price is low then you are reducing the risk associated with the investment. It may or may not be the right investment in the long run, but it will be one that you are comfortable with because you have done the research and you understand the way the company does business.
