There are many benefits when going global, like increased profit, more job opportunities, lower cost of labor, etc. However, there are also a lot of risks involved. When taking an organization global you must make sure that your company is needed in the country because if it’s not you can easily fail. You must make sure that your company is in line with the country’s laws and regulations, as well as make sure you have the resources available to make whatever product you plan on selling. It is a high risk, high reward situation with many opportunities to succeed but just as many to fail. ]]> 2023-05-02 23:36:05 UTC https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575869008 annalane_lenore https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575875411 2023-05-02 23:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575875411 annalane_lenore https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575875602 2023-05-02 23:44:34 UTC https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575875602 annalane_lenore https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575880300 Module 4 was all about planning and decision making. These things are imperative to any organization because without them the company has no chance of success. A successful company needs a product, objectives, a mission statement, goals, budgets, policies and procedures, etc. You can’t accomplish any of these things without a plan. Once all these plans are in place you must be able to make final decisions on each step. There are many ways of deciding, so each company has to find the method best suited to them. ]]> 2023-05-02 23:51:07 UTC https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575880300 annalane_lenore https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575881528 2023-05-02 23:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575881528 annalane_lenore https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575882747 2023-05-02 23:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575882747 annalane_lenore https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575883987 Module 5 discussed the organizational structure and processes. Depending on the company there are different types of organizational structures that can be implemented. Most top organizations utilize the hierarchy of authority, with the CEO at the top and different branches underneath with multiple department heads. Although this may work for most companies, we learned that it is not the only option. You can utilize common purpose, coordinated effort, or even specialization and division of labor. There are many different structures to choose from, so you need to make sure you choose the one best suited to your company. ]]> 2023-05-02 23:55:50 UTC https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575883987 annalane_lenore https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575893238 2023-05-03 00:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575893238 annalane_lenore https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575894086 2023-05-03 00:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575894086 annalane_lenore https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575894776 In module 6 we talked about human resources and communications. Human resources is one of the most important departments within an organization, they have many different responsibilities. These responsibilities include training and development, compensation, safety and health, employee and labor relations, and terminating employment contracts when necessary. Communication is also important in business because it allows the transmission and exchange of information. It’s important to know how to properly communicate so that information is not misinterpreted or lost. Mistakes like that can cost any company a great deal. ]]> 2023-05-03 00:09:06 UTC https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575894776 annalane_lenore https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575902842 2023-05-03 00:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575902842 annalane_lenore https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575903296 2023-05-03 00:17:53 UTC https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575903296 annalane_lenore https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575903883 Module 7 was about leadership and motivation. In this module we learned the difference between leadership and management, while they are both very similar there are some key differences. Good leadership is often associated with certain personality types, these people are known to be inspiring and outgoing. Leaders can influence their team, be creative, captivating, and have big ideas. The role of management is to help these leaders achieve their big goals. Leaders are often responsible for motivating their teams whether it be intrinsic or extrinsic. Intrinsic means internal motivation like a sense of pride or social status. Extrinsic is about tangible rewards like a bonus or extra time off. ]]> 2023-05-03 00:18:31 UTC https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575903883 annalane_lenore https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575912907 2023-05-03 00:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575912907 annalane_lenore https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575915542 2023-05-03 00:29:18 UTC https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575915542 annalane_lenore https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575916570 Module 8 was out last module and it talked about controlling performance and operations. This module was all about control, strategy, tactics, and operational control. These steps are all used to monitor and improve company process. That might be self-evaluations, performance evaluations, setting reasonable goals, or even taking corrective action. Evaluations allow a company to provide feedback, and feedback helps motivate employees. ]]> 2023-05-03 00:30:09 UTC https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575916570 annalane_lenore https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575924153 2023-05-03 00:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575924153 annalane_lenore https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575924808 2023-05-03 00:37:27 UTC https://padlet.com/annalane_lenore/e2a378wkk1uyfnch/wish/2575924808
