Reviews of 5 Class Presentations – Exemplars

Bullying and Harassment in the Australian Retail Industry

1. Didn’t mention the percentage of people that register fake complaints. What
‘doesn’t constitute bullying’ could be another sub-heading. This would help us
understand alternative perspectives and show us the percentage of people who
use ‘fake bullying claims’ as a way to bring other colleagues down.

2. The survey wasn’t well outlined as it didn’t include relevant demographics

like age, gender, income level, immigration status etc., which would
comprehensively help us understand relevant statistics of what demographics
are more susceptible to bullying.

3. The recommendations were well outlined. Ex: The safety app, which I
thought is absolutely relevant.

4. Provided real legal case studies that gave substance to the content. However,
a false claim case study would’ve given more depth to the presentation.

5. Few speakers gave the impression that they were reading.

Australia-China Trade War (Wine Casualty)

1. Provided clear statistics of how important China (as a trading partner) is to

Australia.

2. Also mentioned interesting statistics of how greatly China can impact

Australian GDP if they stop trading with Australia. (7%) of the GDP.

3. An elaborate explanation of Geoeconomics. (Chinese do not need wine for

economic growth, but they knew this would hurt Australia)

4. Powerful, Confident speakers, with a comprehensive approach. (Not only

China, but other reasons of the decrease in Australian wine due to Bushfires,
loss of tourism and decline in the hospitality industry explained well).

5. Unrealistic recommendation of ‘Finding New Markets’.

How COVID-19 is pushing the housing bubble to burst in Sydney?

1. Weak introduction. Housing statistics could be explained with more
categories and demographics.

2. A clear comparison was made as to why Australian housing performed well,

creating a bubble and why the bubble burst.

3. A post-COVID housing market acknowledged which gave a comprehensive

outlook to the presentation.

4. The housing debt market was not explained.

5. Most speakers were weak and under-confident.

The Casino Industry and its impact on Australian economy

1. Recommendations weren’t well-rounded. There wasn’t any mention of how

to promote ‘Responsible Gambling’. Ex: Setting limits to money you can
gamble.

2. Human cognitive biases and addictive behavioral traits not mentioned.

3. Recommendations also failed to mention how to help addicted gambler. Ex:

Setting up of counsellors etc.

4. The concluding statement was strong. Overall very clear presentation.

5. No primary research conducted, which reduced the understanding of the

magnitude of benefits and shortcomings brought in by the Casinos. Ex:
Surveys/Interviews.

What can Australia do about oligopolies in banks such that they don’t control
consumers and affect their economy?

1. Introduction to Australia’s banking oligopolistic approach explained clearly

with statistics that explain the magnitude of the situation.

2. The concentration ratios were interesting, however, a comparison could be

made between countries that have a similar concentration ratio as Australia. Ex:
Highlighting common or contrasting factors that led to the high concentration.

3. Poor recommendations. No mention of how to increase competition from

foreign banks, enhance the abilities of smaller banks or how to reduce barriers
to entry.
4. Speakers were clear and strong. Technical graphs and statistics explained
meaningfully and simply.

5. No primary research as such conducted. A consumer’s perspective or a

financial experts perspective would’ve given the research more depth

Group 18:

· The comparison of the prices in the 1990’s and now is a good point. They
could have link this to the real incomes of Australians and compare those two
and how it affects Australians.

· The effects for students and people who are already retired are very different.
The group should have linked the housing prices and the effects in different
demographics.

· Causes of the drop in prices where concise. It would be better if they

explained how the drop of prices would benefit/affect people in Australia
(foreigners and locals).

· The group did good also including commercial rental and housing. It was
clear the differences of those and how it impacts Australia.

· It was good that the group did primary research and they explained well the
purpose of their survey. They could have done it in a larger scale because 25
responses is a small representation the whole country.

Group 28:

· The group did a very good job explaining the oligopoly in the banking
system, how it started and why is it being a problem. It explained very well,
how this is being an issue for the consumers, the suppliers and the country.

· The analysis in depth of the issues was very well done, the explanation was
clear and in point.

· The group could have explained what the industry should be doing to have a
more competitive environment where more banks are allowed to enter the
industry. And why they should do this.
· They should analyse how the banking industry was in the past helping us
understand why it got to this point. Also analyse if it was better before or now.

· The recommendations were done very well. Overall, the group explained the
problem good and it was understandable for everyone. It would have good to
present why the foreign banks have enter the market to increase competition.

Group 17:

· The group could have explained a bit on the scandals that are happening right
now in the healthcare industry. And why are those happening.

· The increase in demand was well explained and why is happening was also
good. The group did well explain the why is this increasing.

· The challenges were well explained but they could have explained how they
recommend to fix them.

· The comparison with other countries was relevant and well explained. This
gave some depth to the presentation, making it better to understand the
challenge.

· The primary research the group conducted was helpful to understand the
healthcare industry.

Group 10:

· Well presentation of the industry, consistent and makes it easy to understand

the resto of the presentation. It highlights one of the reasons Starbucks has
failed to be in the country.

· The presentation is cohesive and the members did a good job presenting.

· It explains well why it has failed in the country and comparing the experience
with the consumer behaviour in the US.

· The separation of demographics and understanding their consumer behaviour

made the topic understandable and help to give more in depth sights of the
issue.
· Overall for me this was one of the best presentation, the topics were picked
carefully picked which makes the presentation flow and it have a well though
overview of the issue with Starbucks in Australia.

Group 12:

· Very well presented. I liked the video and it was evident that the group
worked together to make the presentation cohesive.

· The fraud was well explained. They could have explained how could have
been this avoided.

· It should have explained better the laws that were implemented to avoid this
to happen in the future.

· They explained well how the company was able to do this scam. The
information could have been a bit more in depth, but overall, they did good.

· The group had a video and they should have fix the volume of the presenters,
some parts were unclear even on full volume.

________________

Topic: Impact of plant-based diet on meat industry – Lyam, Earn, Chau,

Manav, Karel, Katriina

· Good analysis of domestic & global demand

· Clarity & flow of the presentation were very smooth.

· Very interesting projection of the future of the industry

· Would have liked to see a more rounded or balanced discussion of the issue,
presenting concerns as well (such as the cost & accessibility issues surrounding
veganism, the sustainability issues inherent to industrialization & shipping –
regardless of whether it’s vegan or not, it’s far more sustainable to consume
locally, the carrier pigeon question – when once domesticated animals are no
longer needed by humans, they tend to become urban pests as they are too
human dependent to survive in the wild).

· Some of the presentation visuals were not visible/clear

Topic: "What is the response of the Australian government to combat the
impact of COVID-19 on the tertiary/education sector?" - Anushka, Anusmita,
Ruchi, Suvekchya, Taha, Vansh

· Very interesting and relevant topic, which was well presented with solid data-
based analysis

· Vansh in particular delivered a very strong presentation

· Handled questions well, demonstrating grasp of the subject matter

· Could have explored the impact on future enrolment more

· Slightly uneven presentation skills across the group

Topic: AfterPay – Alec, Marionne, Shiane, Mark, Dibashis, Minh Nguyen

· Excellent presentation visuals & graphics – simple but conveying all the
necessary information without distracting from the presenter

· Interesting exploration of Buy Now, Pay Later Industry, establishing the

reasons for the popularity of Afterpay through survey results from secondary
research, etc

· Alec’s presentation stood out, and he clearly had detailed grasp of the subject
matter

· Primary research survey was very interesting and well-structured, and the
results were presented clearly & succinctly

· Presents a well-rounded argument about Afterpay but does not take a firm
enough stance on either side.

Topic: Westpac and Money Laundering – Bibi, Ishita, Maithili, Nella, Viivi,
Yusriya

· The presentation was well-structured and had steady flow from one part to the
next

· Spent a bit too much time on background stuff (Introducing history of

Westpac)
· Presented a timeline of multiple issues & scandals at Westpac, but could have
explored the underlying culture issues more which are causing these persistent
problems

· Could have even explored the issues within watchdogs such as ASIC and
AUSTRAC, which sometimes fail to come down on banks hard enough due to
various systemic issues

· Well presented overall, the group has strong speakers across the board

Topic: The Impact/Risk of Australian Household Debt – Arsheen, Aruzhan,

Krishant, Michal, Vedant, Riddhi

· Incredibly interesting topic which was explored in depth without coming

across as unintelligible.

· Video at the beginning seemed unnecessary, they could have spent that time
on the presentation (which had already extended beyond the time limit)

· Arsheen presented the part on robustness of the banking sector excellently,

really getting into the numbers in a fairly complex topic but explaining it in a
clear and easily understandable fashion.

· Very robust data-based analysis (particularly the stress test) that presented a
well-rounded argument but toaok a firm stance in the end that the banking
system was robust enough.

· Primary data could have been presented better, but was still excellent content
regardless

WESTPAC AND MONEY LAUNDERING- 16/11/2020

· Really Love the agenda showcased at the beginning of the presentation

· Sources (references) were not included in any slides; it’s really confusing for
an outsider (audience) to confirm the facts displayed by the Team despite some
really attention-catching facts were shared
· Good interaction with the class with some questions asked (a two-way
presentation) Still knowing the potential of the candidates, it was a bit lower in
terms of their performance compare to their actual presentation skills

· Very good comparison with New Zealand and Afghanistan, two extremes
when it comes to high risk countries and the position of Australia in the game

· Defended their points pretty well at the Q & A session. It was an insightful
topic well presented about how less Westpac was fined by the regulatory
bodies, though they’ve could have collected some primary data.

HOW RISKY IS THE AUSTRALIAN HOUSEHOLD DEBTS SYSTEM IN

2020? -16/11/2020

· Again, appreciated the agenda presented at the beginning with an interactive

video

· Very Good Information when it comes to Australia being number one in

household debts ratio before the pandemic, very informative presentation

· Really fluent when it comes to the flow of the speakers (Good business
presenters) more precisely when explaining the Household stress test formula

· Very lengthy, exceeded well and above of the time allocated, at a point it
became heavy and boring as it was a very technical presentation for the
audience

· Primary data collected from JLL Real Estate and Naritas were definitely a
plus point but still, the data collected was not well emphasized and
communicated to the audience.

THE IMPACT OF PLANT BASED FOOD TO THE MEAT INDUSTRY –

09/11/2020

· Really harmonious visual, simple but on point, it certainly reflects lots of

creativity behind to grab the audience attraction

· The question is China being the largest importer of red meat from Australia,
will that change in the future, following the extreme tension between the two
countries, point not really well extrapolated
· Very informative, at certain point it felt like being presented by some
dieticians, definitely a lot of work was put behind

· Very good synergy within the group members, really smooth when it comes at
succeeding each other

· Despite a lot of efforts were made, there were no primary data collected,
whether in forms of interviews or surveys, that would have been more
insightful and definitely acts as confirmatory factors

RESPONSE OF THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT TO COMBAT THE

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE TERTIARY EDUCATION SECTOR-
09/11/2020

· Very good overall presentation with some solid references from each slide,
adding more credibility to the figures

· Solid primary data, from a very composed survey conducted

· The CSG- Commonwealth Scheme was very well explained and how the
concerned parties being supported.

· When it comes to speakers, they struggle a bit with the pitch and catching the
attention of the audience, eye-contacts were often missing, monotonous at
times

· They’ve completely missed out of the TPS- Tuition Protective Services and
the ESOS Act 2000 which really stand for the protection of the rights of
International Students in Australia (It would really help the audience being
international students)

CHALLENGES IN AGED CARE IN AUSTRALIA (online)

· Very good topic raised, a really good way to raise awareness on the welfare of
old people

· When it comes to the visual aspect, it was really impressive and attention-
catching, topped up with some really good presenters

· The impacts of the pandemic were not very elaborated which was a bit
surprisingly as it could be a turning point in the sector as a whole.
· A bonus point would definitely be a very solid primary source of data: the
interview of the aged-care specialist and its views on the industry.

· The recommendations at the end were a bit disappointing. It does not really
answer their purpose of their presentation.
