Most people might think that managers just boss people around and never do real work, but the life of a manager can be extremely stressful and difficult. This picture shows just a little bit of the things a manager can do every day.]]> 2021-12-12 15:26:23 UTC https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1942828516 amiller542901 https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1942837949 This is a picture of Tony Hsieh. He was the CEO of Zappos, and he was loved by all his employees. He showed that the conventual way of managing a company and its employees is not always the right way. He focused on the culture of the company and the interactions with his employees to make the company very successful while also keeping the employees extremely happy.]]> 2021-12-12 15:32:48 UTC https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1942837949 amiller542901 https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1942851077 Management can be done in two ways, management as people or as a process. Management as people is giving the individual managers the power to make decisions. They have the knowledge of how the company works, the resources available, and are trusted with making the right decisions for the company. Management as a process requires a certain plan of action before any decision is made. This ensures the best path for the company to go down.]]> 2021-12-12 15:42:36 UTC https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1942851077 amiller542901 https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943278764 Corporate social responsibility is when a company includes all people and their environment into their interests. CSR has made me look at companies now and see whether or not they give back to their community or try and help protect the environment in any way. I have now started to buy items that are sustainable to support the brands that make them.]]> 2021-12-12 22:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943278764 amiller542901 https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943282588 The World Trade Organization is an organization tasked with helping countries make trade agreements, figure out disputes, and keep multinational trades and trade agreements in check. I did not realize just how much of an impact the WTO had on my life until I learned about it. We would not be able to get basically any imports and would be stuck with the products made here in the USA. That would cause us to miss out on a lot of cool things but also drive prices up exponentially. ]]> 2021-12-12 22:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943282588 amiller542901 https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943285149 Global Supply Chains allow for companies to get certain parts for their products from other companies. This can be beneficial to the company and the consumer because it will bring lower prices. However, a lot of the countries that have the lower prices are using sweat shops that pay their workers very little wage for a whole day. Some of these workers can be kids and it is very sad to see.]]> 2021-12-12 22:42:36 UTC https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943285149 amiller542901 https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943295740 The Planning Cycle is comprised of 6 parts. Define Objectives is the most important because you are deciding what you want to accomplish during the planning cycle. Develop Premises is the part where we look forward to see what internal and external factors could change and try to stop our plans. Evaluate Alternatives is where we list all of the possible ways to achieve our goal and choose which is the best one. Identify Resources is when we figure out what resources we need to execute the plan and how we are going to gather then. Establish Tasks is dividing the plan up into manageable parts and assigning them to different groups to get them done. Determine Tracking and Evaluation Methods is when we decide which tasks are most important and how we can track process throughout the plan.]]> 2021-12-12 22:58:34 UTC https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943295740 amiller542901 https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943303274 A Decision Tree is a great example of how to figure out which decision can be the right one for you. I have used this method on various occasions throughout my life. But what I did not realize is that big businesses will use this exact same method to make huge, life changing, decisions for the company. That is pretty crazy to me.]]> 2021-12-12 23:10:02 UTC https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943303274 amiller542901 https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943311385 When designing the structure and organization for a company there are many internal and external factors to consider. The external factors include the Government, culture, competitors, customers, and suppliers. The internal factors relate to the jobs, who will be working where, what will they be doing, and how many people will we need.]]> 2021-12-12 23:20:50 UTC https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943311385 amiller542901 https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943319120 An example of a very well-organized company would be Zappos. Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh was very hands on with his approach and made sure the company was striving towards their goals while creating an excellent culture and atmosphere for the employees. This caused thousands of people to want to work with Zappos and the ones who got hired never wanted to leave. The company is extremely successful today and still has the same organizational structure their former CEO implemented back in the day.]]> 2021-12-12 23:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943319120 amiller542901 https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943328647 Human resource management is a department in a lot of companies that trains employees, sets wages and compensation, makes sure the workplace is a safe environment, mediate disputes between employees and employer, and fire people when necessary. This article highlights why Human Resource Management is so important for a successful company.]]> 2021-12-12 23:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943328647 amiller542901 https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943334021 Types of communication for a company include oral, written, and electronic. Oral communication is the fastest and most direct form of communication but can be difficult to tell everyone at once and the message can be skewed while it travels from person to person. Written communication is good because it is the exact same message for everyone, but it can take a while for people to get it. Electronic communication has become very popular for businesses over the last few years for a few good reasons. It is instantaneous, you can get the message to everyone at once, and the message stays the same for everyone. I personally believe electronic communication is the best way for a company to communicate.]]> 2021-12-12 23:49:45 UTC https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943334021 amiller542901 https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943343371 A company is only as good as its leader and a good leader is hard to come by. A good leader needs to have traits like extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness, neuroticism, honesty/integrity, charisma, intelligence, creativity, achievement motivation, need for power, oral/written communication, interpersonal skills, general problem-solving, decision making, technical knowledge, and management skills. While not all of these traits are needed to become a good leader, a lot of the best ones have many of these.

Motivation causes people to work harder and for a longer amount of time. The greatest leaders know how to motivate. Incentives and speeches are a great way to motivate a team. The video I have linked is considered to be the most popular motivational speech in movie history.]]> 2021-12-13 01:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943410515 amiller542901 https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943440446 Quality Control is something used by companies to test their products to make sure there is no issues with it before entering the market. Quality control really helps the company make sure the first impression for the customers is a good one. One example of a company that did not thoroughly check their products before releasing them is Samsung. In 2016, Samsung rushed the manufacturing of the Galaxy Note 7 in order to beat competition to the market. In doing so they did not do enough product testing and soon found that there was a major problem, the phones were catching on fire. They sold more than 3 million of these phones and they all had to be returned and the customers were given a full refund. Samsung has since recovered for the most part, but it is still widely known as the phone company whose phones caught on fire.]]> 2021-12-13 01:27:55 UTC https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943440446 amiller542901 https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943450918 A company needs an objective and a plan on how to achieve it. As well as that they also need to uphold their standards. The standards of a company are the company's beliefs, values, and goals. Each company has in image of what they would like to be seen as by consumers, shareholders, and future investors. When a company has decided on their image, they then focus on objectives. Objectives are goals that they company wants to achieve. These objectives can drive employees to try and reach them and grow the company.]]> 2021-12-13 01:35:53 UTC https://padlet.com/amiller542901/lsnvr8gcrs58uf5r/wish/1943450918
