barriers to that expansion. Refer to your analysis of strengths and weaknesses completed in Competency 1 Assessment, Part 1; Part 1 of this assessment; and
your analysis of the diamond of national advantage.

The slides should contain only essential information and as little text as possible. Do not design a slide presentation made up of long sentences. Use bullet points. Cite references (in the speakers’ notes) to support your assignment.
Use Speakers' notes to convey the details you would give if you were presenting.
You need to explain fully and support your statements.
Speakers' notes need to be on each slide and they need to fully explain every point on the slide.
This is particularly important since you (the author/expert) are not there to explain why every bullet point is on the slide and why it matters. The presentation is a communications tool and needs to stand on its own without the reader needing to make assumptions. The reader may be familiar with the company, but they are not the expert.
Support your Statements Make sure to include at least two independent reference and in-text citations in all your work.
Use APA format for in-text citations and references.
Additional Note:
This needs to pass ZERO GPT and plagiarism checks.
Need speaker notes, scholarly references and intext citations.
Since this is a slide, need speaker notes embedded and also don’t leave the Powerpoint blank, google chevon and attach a pic behind every slide to make it look legit, presentable.
Rubric is attached, need to follow and answer each aspect of the rubric.
