(If you are completing this course for formal credit, you must complete and submit this assessment.)
Part A: Creating a Presentation (100%)
For this assignment, you will be pitching a business idea to an investor. However, instead of delivering your presentation in a traditional way (i.e. face to face or elevator pitch), you have been asked to send the investor a presentation file or link. The goal of the presentation is to explain to the investor what your business plan is, what makes it different from anything else in the marketplace, and why they should invest in your idea. The other thing you must keep in mind is that English is not the potential investor's first language and that they live in Hong Kong.
Ultimately, how you deliver this presentation to the investor is up to you. You are free to use online delivery tools like Slideshare or Prezi, or to create a Powerpoint/Keynote presentation with a voice over. You can even record a video of yourself delivering the presentation.
No matter which method you choose, the following must be included:

Some of the factors you should take into account is the intercultural and cross border nature of the

- Good organization: Your presentation must have a clear goal. Make sure it builds up and provides the appropriate information to support your pitch for investment.
The presentation should be approximately 10 minutes long and feature a final slide with references for any sources you used, and credits for any images or sounds you used.
