I chose this article because one of the objectives for this module was to describe the risks involved in international operations. Some of the risks are political, financial, economic and resources. This article explains each one. ]]> 2016-10-13 03:48:33 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130323324 victoria_cardona1 https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130325640 I chose this artifact because of our assignment based off of IN-N-OUT Burger and if we should expand.

I chose this article due to our module 6 discussion board Executive Headhunters. It makes sense to promote within the company based on the fact that they already know the companies policies and regulations. Not to mention it is cost effective because the training process won't be as long to train someone already familiar with the company.]]> 2016-10-13 18:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130570541 victoria_cardona1 https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130592007 Step 1: Recruitment
Step 2: Selection
Step 3: Training
Step 4: Performance Appraisal 
I recently applied for a new job and received a position at Everbank downtown. As I've already went though the recruitment and selection process Monday morning I will begin the training process. The Human Resources staff at Everbank are very helpful and try their hardest to make sure you have everything done and are very nice. I can't start working for a company that has excellent staff members.]]> 2016-10-13 19:45:48 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130592007 victoria_cardona1 https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130596350 http://keydifferences.com/difference-between-formal-and-informal-communication.html
One of our key objectives was to demonstrate the formal and informal communication processes. This article explains, compares, contrast, and defines formal and informal communication. ]]> 2016-10-13 20:07:13 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130596350 victoria_cardona1 https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130633213 I enjoyed this cartoon because of chapter 13 about leadership. One of the sections in the chapter discussed Leaders Vs. Managers and explains how they are not the same although many people don't realize this. As the book says "Although some managers are leaders and some leaders are managers." This section was interesting because I'm a manager at Dick's Wings and I never realized the difference between a manager and a leader until after reading this chapter.]]> 2016-10-14 02:00:23 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130633213 victoria_cardona1 https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130635918 Motivation is the inner state that causes an individual to behave in a way that ensures the accomplishment of some goal. The four most important theories are needs-goal theory, vroom expectancy theory, equity theory and the porter-lawler theory. They all focus on the steps that occur when an individual is motivated. When it comes to working in the restaurant business my motivation is the tip money I will be receiving from the tables I am serving. Every shift I work my goal is to a lot of money at the end of my shift. ]]> 2016-10-14 02:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130635918 victoria_cardona1 https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130635950 I liked this model when it comes to making decisions. I myself would say that as a manager myself and the employees meet as a group to discuss the situation at hand, but I make the decision on my own about what is to be done. I do like to hear other points of view before making a decision on a matter in the restaurant. ]]> 2016-10-14 02:33:43 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130635950 victoria_cardona1 https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130635967 http://www.forbes.com/sites/danschawbel/2012/09/22/how-to-be-a-great-manager-that-employees-want-to-work-with/#29fe2ebf491e
I chose this article that the professor provided us as a resource in module 7 because it is an interview of Jill Giesler who heads the leadership and management faculty of the Poynter Institute. I enjoy reading articles with interviews especially when they give advice on matters to younger workers like myself. It most certainly encourages me to continue working hard to reach my goals and maybe be the person getting interviewed on being successful in life.]]> 2016-10-14 02:33:58 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130635967 victoria_cardona1 https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130643615 The controlling process is important when it comes to an organization. Control ensures that an event occurs as it was planned to occur. Controlling is the process managers go through to control. Since I've been a waitress at Dick's Wings I can tell you that we have been through multiple controlling systems due to the feedback and actions of the customers and staff and each time we try to correct the changes to best fit at the time. ]]> 2016-10-14 03:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130643615 victoria_cardona1 https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130643766 I recently found out about Toyota's recalls from our module 8 discussion board. As I stated in my post I was more than surprised to find this information out because I've always heard positive things about Toyota. It's obvious that their formal controlling process was not effective and the managers were not ensuring such unplanned events. Although Toyota takes corrective action most of these recalls could have been prevented if management was focusing on the machinery and employees dealing with it. ]]> 2016-10-14 04:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130643766 victoria_cardona1 https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130643932 Productivity is the relationship between the total amount of goods or services being produced and the organizational resources needed to produce them. I've always been familiar with what productivity means but I never knew there was an equation involved: Productivity=Outputs/ Inputs. ]]> 2016-10-14 04:03:08 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130643932 victoria_cardona1 https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130643957 Deming's flow diagram for improving product quality is simple yet effective. It eliminates barriers between the company and the customer, between the customer and the suppliers, and between the company and its employees. After reading about this chart and better understanding its concepts I wouldn't mind trying this method to improve quality within the restaurant.]]> 2016-10-14 04:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_cardona1/bymd3unikpeu/wish/130643957
