Effective managers advance their careers by identifying problems, developing solutions, and persuading decision makers to provide the support and resources necessary to make things happen. This book focuses on a specific presentation context: a problem-solution persuasive presentation to decision makers delivered in a conference room environment. Such presentations occur at every level in an organization. Therefore, team leaders, supervisors, managers, and executives can all benefit from learning how to design and deliver powerful presentations that move decision makers to take action. The author blends his extensive business experience with current research on persuasion to provide a practical, applied approach to using the problem- solution pattern. An integrated case study provides examples for each step in the process. The result is a useful, actionable guide that will help professionals from every field make a difference in their organization. 410 0$a2013 digital library. 410 0$aCorporate communication collection.$x2156-8170. 606 $aBusiness presentations 606 $aPersuasion (Rhetoric) 610 $apersuasion 610 $apresentation 610 $aproblem-solution pattern 615 0$aBusiness presentations. 615 0$aPersuasion (Rhetoric) 676 $a658.452 700 $aMay$b Gary L.$0151097 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826530003321 996 $aPersuasive business presentations$94101959 997 $aUNINA
