Critical Evaluation Of The Book
13
Cont’d…
The language of the Book is simple and lucid
This book is more comprehensive and systematic than the book Effective Presentation Skills written by Steve Mandel Steve Mandel has given disjoined tips and various topics have no connection
It is based on the principle that audience is not a passive listener
This book does not discuss the issue of on site presentation and its problems
CONCLUSION This book like a qualified teacher teaches and guides
presenters. This book is based on the vast business education
experience of the authors. If we compare this book with Effective Presentation
Skills written by Steve Mandel we find it more comprehensive.
In Effective Presentation Skills has been discussed and possible solutions have also been given by the writer. `
