Our last last blog!!!!!

What can I say about this blog. I definitely agree that it was a good communication tool for this class. Otherwise, we would not be able to share our thoughts with other classmates so easily. We are all busy, and this gave everyone a chance to communicate, but during their own time. Also, when we has class activities, I enjoyed writing about them afterwards. It was like a review of the activity. We also got a chance to read how the other groups dealt with the same problems that we did. I think it is great that this was 20% of our grade, I know I was late a few times, just sometimes Internet was not available because I live in two places. Long story, but I really really tried. I definitely think that the blog should be kept as a requirement for this class, because it does not seem like too much of hard work, and at the same time it is good for review of class activities. I am planning on keeping this blog and contacting my class mates in the future. After all, we are all in the Business field and may help each other out one day. I have one complaint about the blog. It was annoying to copy and paste the websites of each student into the url to reach them. Maybe there is a way to just friend everyone??? Because this was the reason I did not get to see everyone's blog.

I would also like to say that I enjoyed this class very much. I really like the teaching method, the easygoing of the professor, and the class activities. It really showed us the true challenges of management, rather than just being straight from the book and dry. So thank you for that.


Hope to keep in touch!!!!

Management you are so fun poem!

Management you are so fun
You the way to get things done
When everything is chaotic
It makes me feel like I’m psychotic
That’s when I pull out my management slides
And all the craziness subsides.

On any given Friday night,
Learning you, makes me feel alright.
The book, the slides, the slides the book
The blog, is where I love to look

To read, reply, and think a lot
Late with my post, I will be not
I’ll type until my fingers can not move
But my excellence, I’ll prove.

Ethics is what makes managers “do right”
Discrimination will cause a fight
Organizations need mission statements to succeed
In a value chain, customers take the lead

A manager has a lot to do like planning,
Also, leading, organizing and controlling
Plan meetings and make schedules, is one of the management tips
Here is another one: do not take many trips!

The Hawthorne studies taught us a lot
Although, what they were about I already forgot
But Ethics and Values lessons I surely remember
We learned about that sometime in September

Time management matters a lot
When posting the blog late, you can be caught
There are programmed and unprogrammed types of decisions
And about Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, at night I have visions

Intrinsic and extrinsic rewards make employees better
And if the customers are unsatisfied, they can always write a letter
The committee decides if the employees stay
But in the end, everyone’s waiting for the pay day.

There is a lot I learned in this class
Let’s just hope, that we’ll all pass!!!!
