This concept map assignment measures your mastery of ULO 6.1.
You will create two concept maps housed in one PowerPoint presentation. Your 2-slide concept map PowerPoint presentation will consist of the two infographics you create and slide notes.
There is no standard format for a concept map, so you may create yours however you choose. The goal is simply to create a visualization of your responses to the prompts. Keep it simple and readable; you will be adding narration to explain things in further detail.
There are many free resources online such as Canva, Miro, and Mindomo that you can use to create a concept map to illustrate your responses. You can also search the internet to find many free templates and examples.
In the article “Information Flow Parameters for Managing Organizational Processes”, Krovi et al., (2003) assert that managing the flow of information in an organization (and not just the information itself) is a key element to improving business efficiency.
Refer to the case study: Dell Computer Corporation and follow the prompts below.
Imagine you are presenting to an audience about communication strategies for managing organizational performance. You decide to create a concept map infographic for each topic.
- Slide 1: In your infographic, describe the Dell Model.
- Slide 2: In your infographic, explain how Dell’s communication strategy and the flow of information increase organizational efficiency.
Once you create your infographics, load them into a PowerPoint presentation.
In the PowerPoint presentation slides notes, write the script explaining your infographics and the topics in detail, as if you were presenting them.
