      • Do you think Jack Welch handled the Kidder scandal ethically?  Why or why not?
      • How can an idolised corporate leader who heads a large organisation prevent scandals or unethical practices from happening again?
      • Do you think Jack Welch is ultimately responsible for what happens in 'his' organisation?
      • GE has a code of ethics.  Why didn't it work?
    17. Summary & Conclusions
    18. Questions from participants
    Other important points:
    • You've been given a number of resources to assist you in your project... see Better Learning Page, Oral Presentations section for tips.
    • Your grade is derived from the Oral Evaluation Guide so please familiarise yourself with it.  Your grade will suffer if you don't use it and pay attention to it.
    • If you're going to read your entire presentation from the textbook, forget it.  I can read the book myself and so can the class.
    • If you're not prepared, be ready for an "F" on this assignment.
