This study measured the impact of electronic presentations on the business presenter. An electronic presentation was defined as a presentation which made use of a computer, presentation graphics software, and a projection device. A questionnaire was sent to 560 subjects (40% returned) randomly selected from a training and development consortium located in State College, Pennsylvania that provides guidance to businesses in the Central Pennsylvania region. The results from the study fall into two major categories: those derived from all of the respondents and those derived from the sub group of respondents that were engaged in making electronic presentations. An examination of all the respondents yielded that 27% reported giving at least one electronic presentation; preferred presentation devices in rank order included overhead projector, flip chart, electronic presentation, and slide projector. Respondents that had reported experience in giving electronic presentations (27%) were then classified into three categories: presenter-oriented, hardware/software-oriented, or audience-oriented responses. Five implications were derived from this study: (1) respondents that used electronic presentations felt they were very effective for delivering a message to an audience; (2) overhead transparencies continue to be judged the most effective medium, but electronic presentations are growing in favor; (3) video projection is not heavily used; (4) the biggest weakness of electronic presentations is that you cannot depend on the various electrical components; and (5) Microsoft's PowerPoint software dominates the electronic presentation medium. Eight figures provide information on study results. (AEF)
