After reading the first module there are many different duties of a manager. It is the art of getting things done through people. Management requires decision making and planning before anything is executed. I think the picture below explains management perfectly. Another additional thing that stood out to me in module 1 was who actually birthed management, Henry Fayol. The companies people, not structure determine its success. This module was relatable since I am currently a part time manager and there are always things I can improve when leading people.

Module 2 Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility

Some of the topics in module 2 that stood out to me most was diversity in the work place. The reason I chose this picture below is because it represent no matter the "skin color" of a person they have a piece of puzzle to make it complete. Diversity in the work place can help a workplace by increasing creativity, give off a good image, and workers tend to feel more valued. In addition to diversity organizatoinal culture is an important part of a workplace. Everyone as a team have a shared value or goal of the organization. Both of these aspects in a workplace can really solidify relationships between others and build a strong group of people.

Module 3 Management Within a Global Organization

The picture below represents global management. Even though companies may operate in different countries they still have the same core goals and tasks. A company is interconnected globally despite the dfferences.Three key factors in globalization are economic, cultural, and political. There are many reasons to why a company might compete globally. For example increased profits by selling to more consumers and having access to suppliers to gain material at a lower cost. There is a lot more that goes into a global business than I thought. Another thing I found to be interesting after reading is that running a global organization reminds me of module 1 management. The four basic functions are planning, leading, organizing and controlling.

Module 4 Intro to Planning & Decision Making

# data[].attributes.body
You might be wondering why I chose this picture relating to this module. This module was broken into two different sections decision making and planning. I used to be majoring in nursing. The frontal lobe of the brain is what helps a person to plan something and make a decision. Every business no matter how small or large needs some kind of business plan to be successful. Failure to plan can cause confusion and a failing company. Additionally we learned that with Sun City Boards. In addition to planning comes decision making. Decisions are more important than ever. Someones decision can have a small or large affect on a business that is why it is important to really think what is best.

Module 5 Organizational Structure and Processes 

# data[].attributes.body
In this module I learned there are many different types of structures that an organization could possibly have. It is important to choose which one fits a certain company accordingly. No matter what you are talking about whether its management, organization, organizational structure, etc it all comes down to being a team. You can not build a solid company or organization without having a solid team that works towards the same goal. Organizational structure that is most commonly used is functional structure.

Module 6 Human Resources and Communication

Human Resources have a lot large function than I thought. I remember at my old job someone declining an HR management position because it was too much but I didn't know how much responsibility they have. They deal with new and old employees as in hiring, training, setting compensation, termination of old employees, and handle any internal employee issues. Now I can understand why someone who does not do well with being over-tasked would not want an HR job.

Module 8 Controlling Performance and Operations

What I was able to take away from the last module 8 was performance. Performance is very important in many aspects of life especially the workplace. There are different ways to measure performance. Operations and performance kind of correlate between each other. High performance = smooth operation. Giving someone or a company feedback on there performance whether its negative or positive is important It can improve the person if they can take constructive criticism.

This module was very eye opening to how important a leader actually is. Leadership and motivation are closely tied together. Leaders main purpose is to take initiative or take charge into leading a person or a group of people. Something that really stood out from this module was defining an actual leader and manager. Both of them can get mixed up but a leader plays a way more vital role. A key aspect of a leader is motivation to others or themselves if they are a self owned business.
