What is the context for this scenario?

You work for a company which is looking for suitable investments in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

You and your team have identified two possible industries ( based on the Learning Journey for your class)

Task:

You will need to research on the two industries you will be visiting on 22^nd of May 2007. Some of the websites on these industries are listed below.

1. http://www.hormel.com/templates/knowledge/knowledge.asp?catitmid=1

Write a proposal for the Board of Directors to tell them your choice of industries which will provide the best returns on investments and explain your reasons for your recommendations.

Use of Geographical concepts and Mathematics to justify your recommendations will be expected.

In your proposal, consider the following factors :

Timeframe required for the product to be released into the market

Special requirements and their availability for the product ( climate, season, special factors that the product may need such that its productivity can be maximized etc.)

Use of latest technology such as genetic engineering to increase the productivity of the product

Markets for the outputs: locals / overseas ; shelf life, transportation

Role of government

Raw materials: Choice of variety of production

Stability of labour supply and the type of labour required ( i.e. any specialized knowledge required? )

*In your proposal, you will have to present your ideas to convince the Board members on why they should venture the preferred industry.

Only consider the following factors in your decision making Decision making matrix

: raw materials, labour, technology used, market,

Process:

What steps do I take to complete the task?

Part A:

You are to work in a group of 4 to 5 members.

Assign a leader for the group and roles for all group members.

Part B:

1. Research on the industries that you will be investigating on your learning journey.

2. Analyze and collate the relevant information

3. Write down the sources ( website addresses) you have used

4. Print the collated information

Part C ( Learning Journey )

1. Gather additional information during the visits by

• taking photographs ( assign one take photos or video-tape
• collecting artifacts/brochures
• collecting samples of products
• conducting interviews with the people working in the industries
• video-taping relevant processes/activities/people
• keeping a learning log
• collecting data on crop yields/tonnage/quantity etc for a week, month, year
• any other suitable research methods

2. In addition to the written proposal for English Language, you are to decide on the method of presentation to your schoolmates during the school assembly.

Use of posters, charts, graphs, decision-making matrix etc to show the board how you have arrived at your decision.

Your presentation must be about 8 minutes in length, and have visual aids. ( Avoid powerpoint presentation if possible )

Remember your task is to convince the board your choice of industry.
