Group Presentation
Group Presentation (10 mins max.) worth 60% of final module grade
You and your group (of up to 4 individuals) are required to conduct research and
identify the key issues, challenges, and opportunities around Peloton.
You and your team are to review the current issue with Peloton, then come up
with some creative solutions that can potentially develop their business.
You should clearly select one Peloton market (e.g. UK, USA etc) rather than
focus on a global approach. This will allow further research into the company.
Your findings must be presented in a new business model canvas for Peloton.
This should be based on the changes you are proposing rather than the current
existing business model.
This assessment will involve developing original and creative responses to the
identified challenges facing Peloton.

Guidance
1. Introduction to business.
This section should focus on contextualising the business by covering the
following elements – business background and sector overview.
Sector Overview should outline the size of the sector that the organisation
operates in and highlight any trends that might be relevant, using academic
sources.
This section should also include the news article that you have used to
underpin your choice of issue with organisation
2. Justification of priorities.
This is the part of your presentation that you use to outline the issue in
context for the organisation.
Critical evaluation of the current organisation’s skills will help address the
specific issues for the chosen company. A tool such as SWOT can help with
the background research, although please only include the key points from
your work, supported with relevant research.
Critical evaluation of the macro factors for the organisation’s environment will
help address. A tool such as PESTLE and research from Mintel (accessible from
the UWS library) will help with the background research, although please only
include the key points in your presentation.
3. Application of tools
For this section you should chose four different models/tools and apply them
3
to your organisation to develop four creative solutions. Some suggested
approaches include unbundling, using the business model lens, creative
destruction, multisided platforms, free and open business model.
You should apply the model and then use the results of that application as the
basis for your presentation.
You should not describe the model/tool or explain the theory behind the
model/tool. If your presentation does this, then it is likely to impact your
chance of success as the focus is on application rather than description.
4. Recommendations
Your presentation should propose two different recommendations that can be
adopted by your chosen organisation to solve the initial problem. These
recommendations should come from the previous section and then be linked
back to the initial research you have carried out.
Maximum marks will be awarded for the recommendations that are creative,
use the relevant module tools, link directly to the organisation capability and
are addressing the marketplace.
5. Presentation
These marks are awarded for use of a relevant presentation format. This
should be academically appropriate and a well prepared presentation. The
time limit should be adhered to, and relevant academic sources should be
used throughout. Please note that the scheme is indicative: for example, a
presentation which does not address the stated brief will receive a poor mark,
irrespective of the quality of the structure or the presentation.
All students must actively take part in the assessment.
You should also be aware that late submissions will be penalised in line with
university regulations. Please see your Handbook for detail, as well as for
submission instructions.
