Form can impact the entities ability to grow and, in some circumstances, its ability to survive.

I have attached my paper that the power-point slides need to support. I have also attached the grading rubric along with references for the information brief. Each student will present key highlights (voice over PowerPoint, etc.) in an 8-minute information brief for their individual assigned topic and receive a form 1009S. I will also need a word document what to read during the slide show.

Again it is an information brief and i will need a word document on what to read during the slides.
