In module one I was provided with a wealth of new information that I wasn't introduced to previously. This chapter identified the basic principles of management and the importance of the skills needed to become an effective manager.

Applied Material:
After being introduced with the four management functions: planning, organizing, influencing, and controlling my idea of an effective manager completely changed. Since learning these functions I have integrated them into my current leadership positions outside of school including ROTC. This has helped me tremendously with my managing success

Module two includes chapter two and three in the text and both have been very enlightening. Chapter two gives us information on how managers effectively sustain companies by meeting the needs of the company itself and its society. Module two covers the concept of diversity in the workplace and how it can give a company or organization an advantage.

Applied Material:
Identifying my social responsibility has benefitted me in several ways, and even though I am not a manager concerned with defining a middle ground between the company and its society I can still apply these skills to day-to-day tasks. I have also become more appreciative for everyone around me and the varying cultures among the communities that I am involved in.

Artifact Analysis:
These four artifacts perfectly showcase what I learned module two. In this module I really developed an appreciation for diversity and as the pictures show diversity is more than an array of different people, but an organizational advantage. In the article by Glenn Llopis with Forbes Magazine he explains why diversity helps companies grow.

This module had a lot of valuable information that expressed the importance of international management and how it should be approached. Of course, not everyone is going to be involved in a multinational company, but it is great information to have even for managers who are involved in companies with little international involvement.

Applied Material:
Key points that resinated with me in this module is respecting new environments. I have little experience being outside of my home country, but through this module I can know recognize this as a common respect. When managing or even doing something in a new area it should be common courtesy
to respect the ways of those who live there. Im not religious, but when I go to church I make sure to respect their beliefs

Artifact Analysis: Closely related to the previous module, module three for me was all about management around the world. I specifically included these pictures to show how management differs around the world, especially artifact three. People in different areas have varying values and approaches to management and in the article presented in artifact four we are reminded of how important it is to respect these values.]]> 2018-04-29 03:02:55 UTC https://padlet.com/platt_gavinj/MAN2021_Platt/wish/256266527 Module 4 platt_gavinj https://padlet.com/platt_gavinj/MAN2021_Platt/wish/256266543 Overview:
This was a hefty module that contained three full chapters with a plethora of useful information. In theses chapters they covered the basics of planning, decision making skills needed to manage a company, and more advanced planning referred to as strategic planning. Strategic planning involves including all possible factors into the planning process, and results in a well rounded effective plan.

Applied Material:
These chapters have helped me the most with many things not just my approach to management. These learned skills in the text book have turned into action. I have been able to make more conscious decisions when doing certain things during the day, and I have also been able to make more fruitful plans. Just a few days ago me and my friends composed a well thought out plan and was able to apply my newly learned skills.

Artifact Analysis: Some of the artifacts that I decided to include in this module aren't new, but they do a great job at showcasing the learned material in the module. Artifact two resembles the planning process, and artifact three and four tie the decision making process and the planning process into one. The article explains how they tie together while artifact three provides a visual of the same thing.

In this module it gives a lot of information about organizational skill and how those skills can be useful in management. Another vital point made in this module is the use of delegation through the self identification of responsibility and authority. These two chapters go hand in hand because in order to be successful at delegating you must have organization.

Applied Material:
The information that I learned in these chapters was just as useful as the information that I learned in the last. In ROTC responsibility and authority is highly valued and a lot of what i learned in the chapter was already common knowledge, but the new information that I got from it has helped me a lot beyond ROTC alone.

Another module filled with a great amount of insightful skills that a manager should utilize when running a company. In the chapters within the module we are briefed on the importance of human resources like identifying training and skills needed in the workplace. In the other chapters we learn about influencing and communication, and the proper use of different groups and teams within an organization.

Applied Material
With this knowledge I have been able to discover the use of human resources and the purpose they serve in an organization. What I valued most from this module is the communication aspect. I have been able to more efficiently convey my ideas and information among different groups of people.

In this module we learn a lot about leadership and what it can do for a company. Leadership is a very broad topic and is different than management. Defining a leadership approach beforehand is important because it depicts the structure of a team. Leadership isn't the only topic of importance within this module motivation is also another topic of interest. Motivation is explained as a human need that provides a leaders subordinates with incentives to complete a task.

Applied Material:
Subsequently after reading this chapter i was able to feel more comfortable when put into leadership positions. My comfortability developed because I knew the importance of varying leadership approaches and which ones to use given the situation. The motivation aspect also helped me accomplish a lot more because I provided my subordinates with incentives to complete the tasks that I assigned.

The last module module focused on control in different spectrums of management. Specifically how production control relates to operations management as well as overall productivity in a company. On the other end we were also informed about control in regards to information and technology and its relation with power.

Applied Material:
While many may overlook this information I personally found it to be very helpful when working on a project. Having knowledge about the desired project and taking control so that the group can work on producing the product in the most effective way possible. Having an understanding of everyones role in the endeavor will allow everyone in the group to work more efficiently and be more confident in what they're doing.

Artifact Analysis: Production is the purpose of any company. Without the production of a service there would be no use for a company. In the first three artifacts it provides a mental image of how important the production of a company is, and artifact four provides accounts of a business and how they value production.
