https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0 These are the things I learned and found interesting and helpful on my journey through the modules. en-us 2018-10-17 23:12:00 UTC 2025-02-24 20:46:38 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Diskette.png throwingstarrs https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/294135376 When going over Module 3 I found this article and thought of management and diversity. The article hits good points when it comes to diversity in the work place. Diversity has to do with all races, ethnicities, religions, social classes, abilities, and sexual orientations. The focus in the article is dealing with Kolin Kaepernicks stand and applying that to the workplace.

But mostly because it talked about the issues that women face in the business industry and the fact that they may have more skills but the morale is not there for women like it is for men. However the future is proving change towards the equality towards women with empowered positions in the workplace. ]]> 2018-10-18 00:11:04 UTC https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/294137939 throwingstarrs https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/294146483 Social Responsibility stood out in module 2 and made me wonder what company's in our community give back. When researching I found that a few companies that give back are Comcast, Men's Wearhouse, and McDonalds. The Ronald McDonald house gives to children and their families who need to be close to hospitals for their care. They provide a place to stay, food, and transportation back and forth. To find out more about the Ronald McDonald house you can visit their website and learn how you can also give back to the program helping ill children and their families with every day needs as they receive the treatment they need. ]]> 2018-10-18 00:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/294146483 throwingstarrs https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/294155319 Have you ever considered what goes into managing a multinational company? It seems like there would be a lot of hoops to jump through when crossing the borders and dealing with different cultures and introducing something new. Module 4 showed me how this process takes place and how you would manage something that has to face so many different changes from where it started. One of the biggest issues faced is controlling the purchasing costs. When you think about going to a different market you have to consider the currency changes, the supply and demand, and the culture that the product is being introduced to. The article provided below gave some insight into the problems that are faced and how to better deal with them. ]]> 2018-10-18 01:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/294155319 throwingstarrs https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/294160268 2018-10-18 01:53:19 UTC https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/294160268 throwingstarrs https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/295094506 One article I found that helped me in the management process was actually a 3-D diagram that came from Harvard Business. Some people learn things easier when they have a visual and for this reason I found this to be extremely helpful for module 1]]> 2018-10-20 16:38:27 UTC https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/295094506 throwingstarrs https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/295095076 Sometimes its nice to see other views on how to be a successful manager through other peoples eyes. There are always new and imporved ways to be someone who is a successful leader in the work force. Susan M. Heathfield wrote an article for the balance careers site on just that and I enjoyed the way she put her points out there. It was simple yet seemed effective.]]> 2018-10-20 16:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/295095076 throwingstarrs https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/295095613 Any line of management has to have more of one skill then the other. In this picture it shows the need of the skills and the amount of need for each one. As you can see once you move to a top level of management your skill level is more conceptual then anything else while still having a need of other skills as well.]]> 2018-10-20 16:48:46 UTC https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/295095613 throwingstarrs https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/295096575 The idea of social responsibility is that a company is responsible for how they impact the health and welfare of a society. The International Organization for Standardization put out an article to help companies define what their responsibility is. The article itself is helpful and is called ISO 26000: Guidance on social responsibility. ]]> 2018-10-20 16:57:17 UTC https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/295096575 throwingstarrs https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/295097297 Philanthropy is another way for companies to take care of their social responsibility. It's a way to give back through charities and donations to social causes. I wondered how it has changed over the years and Stanford did the research. This article helped me understand more of how this is happening now as opposed to how it was when it first started in the business world. Sometimes things evolve so rapidly that you never get to fully understand how they work but now collaborative philanthropy is a new effort and is helping make a bigger difference for the world markets. ]]> 2018-10-20 17:03:32 UTC https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/295097297 throwingstarrs https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/295098035 2018-10-20 17:10:11 UTC https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/295098035 throwingstarrs https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/295098857 My thoughts on diversity are that it's important to know other cultures and backgrounds for bigger going to be of different races, genders, religions, and sexual orientations and it should be celebrated. ]]> 2018-10-20 17:17:59 UTC https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/295098857 throwingstarrs https://padlet.com/throwingstarrs/gl7kwxo7dsb0/wish/295099501 By now I'm sure we have realized that there has to be a lot of challenges in managing a diverse workplace, but what are some of the ways that can help us with these challenges.

There are international marketing agreements that are in place for these measures, they are The European Union (EUI), North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). One that has recently been going through some changes is the one that affects us the most. President Trump is trying to arrange a new deal for NAFTA.
