Answer & Explanation:According to the textbook, ongoing challenges in the global business
environment are mostly attributed to unethical business practices, failure to
embrace technology advancements, and stiff competition among businesses. Imagine
that you have been appointed as Apple’s Chief Compliance Officer and must
prepare a video presentation for Apple’s suppliers regarding Apple’s Supplier
Code of Conduct to deliver via a web meeting. To prepare for your presentation,
review Apple’s Supplier Code of Conduct, located at https://www.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/. Next, use a
tablet, smartphone, laptop, desktop, or traditional video recorder to record a
maximum of a five to seven (5-7) minute dynamic video on Apple’s Code of
Conduct. Alternatively, you may submit a four to six (4-6) page paper instead of
the video submission.
In addition to the recorded video, you must also create a presentation using
PowerPoint (or other equivalent software) summarizing the important changes and
explanations regarding the code of conduct that you communicated in your video
presentation to email to the suppliers after the meeting for future
reference.
You must submit both parts of the assignment to receive full credit.
Note: If you are using a tablet or smartphone you will need
to email the video file to yourself, then save it to a computer in order to
upload to Blackboard. You may want to upload your video to a file sharing
service, such as Dropbox, if your email will not let you send a large video
file. Dropbox is accessible from all smartphones and tablets from the Dropbox
app.
Once you are ready to upload your video to Blackboard, view the Kaltura video
tutorial found in your online course shell (Week 9).
Please use the following naming convention in the popup window for your video
once it is finished uploading:
