Relationship between Data and Information 

# data[].attributes.body
This picture shows how data makes up information. Even the smallest amount of data can create information. Any data that a manager collects in a business can create a big picture of information for the business. The business can then use that information to update or create new policies.

The operations managers job duties vary with the size of the company. The operations manager's position in a company is very important. I was unaware of the different skills an operations manager has to have. This webpage explained that they need interpersonal and business skills, as well as planning and ensuring smooth communication.

The production manager has a different role than the operations manager. They make sure the manufacturing process is running reliably and efficiently, plan and organize schedules, negotiating budgets and time with clients. The production manager's role is a very important role in every business. I chose this picture because it shows a production manager going over product with an employee.

The difference between authority and power is difficult for me to determine. I feel that the two can be pretty interchangeable. I think this article is beneficial to my learning because it gave me a better understanding of what someone with authority and someone with power are able to do within an organization.

The balance has an article titled "7 Tips for Management Success".

This diagram represents the different management functions. In module one we discussed the four basic management functions. I found this diagram to be interesting because it takes those functions a step further. It replaces "influencing" with "staffing" and "directing". I feel this is important because it shows how management can be an influence within an organization.

This article called "Why is Effective Communication  Important in Management?". I chose this article because it explains the importance of communication with your employees. Where there is better communication in a company, there is better productivity. If a manager can communicate clearly and effectively with their employees then problem solving will be a breeze.

There are so many different aspects of management science. For example, engineering, statistics, algorithms, mathematical modeling, improving an organizations's rational decisions, and even maximizing profit. I feel like this image is a good example of management science because everything has to be done so carefully, if there is more of one thing and not enough of another then something could "blow up" into a huge issue.

I chose this picture because it shows what motivates employees today. Module seven discussed motivation, rewards, and recognition to increase performance. This picture shows the percentage of people that need recognition, opportunities for growth, and a fun working environment to motivate them to work harder.

# data[].attributes.body
I found this article to be very interesting. I have never thought that an organization's culture has so much to do with the way they motivate their employees. This article states that when employees are thinking about the reward rather than the work itself, that employee's performance will be much lower.

This image says so much about leadership style. If a manager just bosses their staff around and tells them what to do without helping then they will not be very successful. If a manager works with their staff and helps them along then they will end up being far more successful. I like this image because it shows the major differences in leadership styles and the outcomes.

# data[].attributes.body
I have always thought leading and managing go hand in hand. I feel that without leading you cannot manage well and without managing there is no leadership. This article is a good learning tool for me because it explains how both leading and managing are important.

I was kind of confused between the differences of informal and formal teams in the workplace. When I did some more research, I found the site, management study. I found this site to be very helpful in breaking down what makes informal and formal teams.

I think this picture is an easy and creative way to show the difference in formal and informal communication. This picture can be helpful to my learning in this module because it can remind me of the differences between formal and informal communication.

Companies often have potential employees go through testing and assessment to determine if they would be a good fit for the job. I think this is smart in employee selection because it can help an employer find the best person for the job. https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisaquast/2011/09/13/pre-employment-testing-a-helpful-way-for-companies-to-screen-applicants/#59e6fbc62606

A performance appraisal can also be called a review, or evaluation of how an employee is doing in their position. Usually there is a manager and/or supervisor that discuss a performance appraisal with their employees. I think this picture is fun because it shows judges with different scores and that is how an appraisal is. You are judged on your job performance.

This organizational structure is very similar to the structure at my current job. My bosses have shown this to me and gone over the different positions with me. I like this structure because it is straight forward and you can always add more positions on any tier of the structure.

I chose this picture because it is a good representation of the relationship between responsibility, authority, and delegation. I think this is important to my learning because it is a quick way to look at the differences and decide between the three. There is a fine line between delegating something to someone and ordering them to do something.

I really enjoyed this video on strong organizational culture versus weak organizational culture. I had a pretty good idea of what a good organizational culture was but after this video I know the difference between them.

I chose this picture to display a good way to prioritize things at work and even at home. A great way to prioritize is by the things that absolutely need to get done first, the things you can get done, and then the things you want to get done is last on the list. It is important to know what needs to be done first and making sure they are done correctly.

There are many ways to assign work to employees but if you are not careful, someone can start to feel like this poor guy in the picture. It is important to be aware of your employee's workload and how much they can handle at one time.

I think this is a really cool picture that represents each country in front of a different person. In module three we discussed managing multinational corporations. To me, this picture illustrates a company coming together and meeting with their managers from other countries to discuss company issues, policies, changes, etc.

I watched this video to get a better understanding of what managers can do to promote diversity within a business. It is a short four minute video that explains how managers can place their employees into different groups to achieve greater success.

Interesting choice of picture right? We defined business ethics in module two and I feel this picture is a good representation of how some people can feel when it comes to making the right decisions.

I decided to include this article for module two because it discusses the different topics in corporate social responsibility. I feel that this article can be important to my learning since it goes into further detail about what pushes a business to CSR. It also discusses some of the positive outcomes that can happen to a business when they adopt CSR.

In module two we learned about diversity in the workplace. When I was doing research on diversity, I found this cool picture. I find this to be interesting because it shows that diversity is more than just skin color. Diversity can be age, sex, ethnicity, ability to work, etc. I believe that the more diverse a company is, the more successful they will be.

Hi there! My name is Kelsie and I was born and raised on Amelia Island, Florida. Since I grew up at the beach, I have always loved being outside and doing things such as surfing, running, fishing, hunting, dirt bike racing, and really anything else you can name. Even with all of that going on, my passion has always been volleyball. I play court volleyball as well as beach volleyball and just recently became a High School Varsity Coach. I love playing more than anything but I have to say that coaching now has a special place in my heart. I truly enjoy being able to share my passion with the team as well as being a leader and someone they can come to when they have any issues at all.
