Executive Summary

            This is a paper that tackles three articles with regard to effective meetings and presentation management. The essay includes a summary of the three articles; a conclusion and assessment of the article’s main points are also included herein.

 

In a nutshell, the first article entitled presents the importance and role that ’s Presentation Management system provides for the Tribune Entertainment Company, also known as Tribune. Additionally, the latter organization is the entertainment department of one of the United States’ fastest growing suppliers of television product, while  Presentations is a frontrunner with regard to interactive softwares that support the effective multimedia presentations of a wide range of corporations (“,” 2006).

According to the article, with regard to media presentations, the PowerPoint has truly lost its touch; aside from being outmoded, it also lacks audio visual capabilities that are necessary and vital for vigorous and progressive companies such as Tribune. Hence, Tribune continues its partnership with  Presentations because the latter organization makes use of an up-to-date presentation system that possesses characteristics essential for the acquisition and preservation of present and future clients, such as the following:
