This document summarizes various topics related to finance opportunities, corporate finance functions, responsibilities of finance staff, trends and challenges, and goals of corporations. It also defines agency relationships and problems. Specifically, it provides examples of finance career opportunities for postgraduates, outlines the typical organization of a corporate finance department, and lists the primary duties of finance staff like accounting, budgeting, auditing, and forecasting. It also discusses current issues in financial management like technology and regulations. Further, it states that the main goals of corporations are usually profit and market dominance. Finally, it defines an agency relationship as one where an agent represents a principal, and an agency problem as a conflict of interests between the two parties.
The document discusses different types of wholesalers and intermediaries in the wholesale industry. It outlines merchant wholesalers, manufacturers' sales branches and offices, brokers and agents, and commission merchants. Merchant wholesalers independently take title to the goods they handle and can be full-service or limited-service. Manufacturers' sales branches sell goods directly rather than through independent wholesalers. Brokers and agents facilitate sales but do not take title to goods. Commission merchants buy and sell goods for others on a commission basis.
This document provides tips to avoid "Death by PowerPoint" and improve presentation skills. It advises using one thought or main point per slide presented in 7 seconds or less. Slides should be simplified to include only essential visuals like graphics and narration, excluding background templates, logos, clip art, and excessive text. Formatting recommendations include a minimum 36 point font size and avoiding all capital letters. The tips encourage presenters to get feedback on selected issues and iteratively improve one slide at a time.
A tongue-in-cheek presentation with 3 tips to avoid being a PowerPoint criminal.
These are slides from a humorous/informative speech I wrote for a recent Toastmasters meeting. I've modified the presentation since then so that it can stand on its own.

1) The document discusses the opportunity for technology to improve organizational efficiency and transition economies into a "smart and clean world."
2) It argues that aggregate efficiency has stalled at around 22% for 30 years due to limitations of the Second Industrial Revolution, but that digitizing transport, energy, and communication through technologies like blockchain can help manage resources and increase efficiency.
3) Technologies like precision agriculture, cloud computing, robotics, and autonomous vehicles may allow for "dematerialization" and do more with fewer physical resources through effects like reduced waste and need for transportation/logistics infrastructure.

2. Tips to be Covered
Outlines
Slide Structure
Fonts
Colour
Background
Graphs
Spelling and Grammar
Conclusions
Questions
3. Outline
Make your 1st or 2nd slide an outline of your
presentation
– Ex: previous slide
Follow the order of your outline for the rest of the
presentation
Only place main points on the outline slide
– Ex: Use the titles of each slide as main points
4. Slide Structure – Good
Use 1-2 slides per minute of your presentation
Write in point form, not complete sentences
Include 4-5 points per slide
Avoid wordiness: use key words and phrases only
5. Slide Structure - Bad
This page contains too many words for a
presentation slide. It is not written in point form,
making it difficult both for your audience to read
and for you to present each point. Although there
are exactly the same number of points on this slide
as the previous slide, it looks much more
complicated. In short, your audience will spend too
much time trying to read this paragraph instead of
listening to you.
6. Slide Structure – Good
Show one point at a time:
– Will help audience concentrate on what you are saying
– Will prevent audience from reading ahead
– Will help you keep your presentation focused
7. Slide Structure - Bad
Do not use distracting animation
Do not go overboard with the animation
Be consistent with the animation that you use
8. Fonts - Good
Use at least an 18-point font
Use different size fonts for main points and
secondary points
– this font is 24-point, the main point font is 28-point, and
the title font is 36-point
Use a standard font like Times New Roman or Arial
9. Fonts - Bad
If you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have written
CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS
DIFFICULT TO READ
Don’t use a complicated font
10. Colour - Good
Usea colour of font that contrasts sharply with the
background
– Ex: blue font on white background
Use colour to reinforce the logic of your structure
– Ex: light blue title and dark blue text
Use colour to emphasize a point
– But only use this occasionally
11. Colour - Bad
Using a font colour that does not contrast with the
background colour is hard to read
Using colour for decoration is distracting and
annoying.
Using a different colour for each point is
unnecessary
– Using a different colour for secondary points is also
unnecessary
Trying to be creative can also be bad
12. Background - Good
Use backgrounds such as this one that are
attractive but simple
Use backgrounds which are light
Usethe same background consistently throughout
your presentation
13. Background – Bad
Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult
to read from
Always be consistent with the background that you
use
14. Graphs - Good
Use graphs rather than just charts and words
– Data in graphs is easier to comprehend & retain than is
raw data
– Trends are easier to visualize in graph form
Always title your graphs
15. Graphs - Bad

16. Graphs - Good

18. Graphs - Bad
Minor gridlines are unnecessary
Font is too small
Colours are illogical
Title is missing
Shading is distracting
19. Spelling and Grammar
Proof your slides for:
– speling mistakes
– the use of of repeated words
– grammatical errors you might have make
IfEnglish is not your first language, please have
someone else check your presentation!
20. Conclusion
Use an effective and strong closing
– Your audience is likely to remember your last words
Use a conclusion slide to:
– Summarize the main points of your presentation
– Suggest future avenues of research
21. Questions??
End your presentation with a simple question slide
to:
– Invite your audience to ask questions
– Provide a visual aid during question period
– Avoid ending a presentation abruptly
