Module 1 Reflection

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-18 17:57:19 UTC

When I was reading and learning about the types, roles, skills, and the creation of management and managers it opened my eyes to what they truly were. It helped me understand and flesh out the different roles and skills for management like the discovery of Middle Manager for me or the key functions a manager may need to succeed.

Module 1 Relic (1)

I watched this video more out of curiosity. I wanted to see what created a good manager, watching the video gives some rather good tips and expands upon some concepts that was in the reading material for Module 1 as well as bringing new concepts into the fold.

Module 1 Relic (2)

This article focuses more on the aspects of how to function as a manager by focusing on the functions at the very end of the reading material.

Module 2 Reflection

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-18 19:09:12 UTC

Reading and partaking in this module helped me see the importance of company culture, diversity in an organization, social responsibility, and the ethics that go into a business or organization. It was intriguing to delve deeper into each of the concepts of module 2, promoting the importance of each concept and the diversity (pun intended) within all of the concepts.

Module 2 Relic (1)

I chose this image because during this module we had to make a case study on three different companies and talk about ethics, diversity, and corporate diversity. Looking at the image reminds me of the work that was done for the case study and reminds me that some companies actively try to make the world a better place.

Module 2 Relic (2)

This video helps with the idea of ethical decision making and the positives and negatives of ethics. To me the video gives more personal information about ethics of personal decisions.

Module 3 Reflection

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-18 20:10:13 UTC

What I enjoyed about Module 3 is the focus on the concept of globalization and braving into brand new markets and making a name for an organization that would be known around the world. The content within Module 3 actually inspired me to think about resources and relationships, this in turn inspired me to start to play the game Jurassic Park Evolution 2 that uses some of the concepts in the material.

Module 3 Relic (1)

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-18 20:30:42 UTC

I chose this game because of how I was drawn to it by the content of Module 3. This game is a park simulator game that uses the resources and time to create a great park. In a specific mode one has to globalize the Jurassic Park/World franchise and manage trust and demographics to succeed in obtaining the overarching goal of having five stars rating for the company by having a five star rating on each park around the world. This is a very fun game and is very therapeutic on normal difficulties (Jurassic is very, very challenging).

Module 3 Relic (2)

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-18 20:42:41 UTC

This article highlights the good and the bad of what globalization can and could be. I myself know most things have positives and negatives so reading and understanding the bad more can help in circumvent it from happening and being more successful.

Module 4 Reflection

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-18 20:53:58 UTC

Module 4's content was intriguing to me because of the ideas of planning and the decision making. I myself like the idea of being prepared and planning for the independent variables that could arise. One thing I loved about this module was the Assignment for strategizing for Sun City Boards. This assignment fed into my enjoyment of strategizing, and using the knowledge gained in Module 4 felt very unique and encouraged me to read more on the content.

Module 4 Relic (1)

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-18 21:11:01 UTC

This game is in the category of a RTS (Real Time Strategy). In Halo Wars 2 one has to manage and plan/strategize to come out on top during the match against real people. Actively adapting and thinking on how to win by composing an army that either covers all bases or by countering an army comp. This game is also fast paced with resources and to me this mirrors the environment of real life business ventures.

Module 4 Relic (2)

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-18 21:20:00 UTC

I chose this image because it resonates more with the decision making aspect of Module 4. This image is about decision making that even though one did/did not make a decision it still can have great impacts on the outcome in question.

Module 5 Reflection

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-18 22:14:05 UTC

This module focuses on structure, which to me helps feed into the previous module. I found the module interesting because it had helped inform me with the concepts of different structures that an organization can have, changing what I initially thought about structures of organization and the importance of the different styles..

Module 5 Relic (1)

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-18 22:25:04 UTC

This image is that of what I call traditional (Simple) structure. But within this image the store manager is the highest role for this store. This shows whether it is a big corporation/organization or a small store that this type of structure is still popular are safe.

Module 5 Relic (2)

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-18 22:44:27 UTC

This video does a very simple and quick job of explaining structure and process. It does also talks although very little of the cycle of Interactions and changes in structures of organizations.

Module 6 Reflection

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-18 22:58:12 UTC

Module 6 did help me greatly with vocalization and communication. How the module explains the mediums is rather helpful and influenced my style of communication more. With the other reading material it did help me understand Human Resources. The reading material did educate me that Human Resources actually handled the well being of the employee of an organization, where initially I thought HR was more of like a rule enforcer role.

Module 6 Relic (1)

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-18 23:22:14 UTC

I chose this image to show the diversity of communication, and to incur thought about if we use the right form of communication. As the module showed that there is almost a gradient on the best and worst form of communication in module 6.

Module 6 Relic (2)

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-18 23:29:36 UTC

I chose this article for it is more of a hub of information on HR itself. Within this hub holds 18 articles that help explain and aid in different scenarios that a HR representative may need. It is quite interesting to read the techniques that HR needs to have.

Module 7 Reflection

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-18 23:35:11 UTC

Module 7 is a great module. Focusing more on motivation and leadership gives me the motivation to think more and act more. Explaining the types of leadership and the approaches, and the ways to incur motivation and the importance to light a fire in one's soul to move forward.

Module 7 Relic (1)

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-18 23:41:19 UTC

I chose this image of Captain America for one reason: Leadership. In the comics, shows, movies, and other forms of media Captain America has been a great leader and a fighter for change. In the comics he has stood against the persecution of mutants, the leader against the dire, and counsels people to be the best version of themselves they could be. Being a beacon of hope, change, and leadership.

Module 7 Relic (2)

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-18 23:50:27 UTC

I chose this Comic voice clip of Spider-Man for a reason. Spider-man has always done what is right no matter how exhausting, taxing, tiresome, painful. He is motivated by the change he can create, the feeling of saving many so they may live fuller meaning full life so they may change the future. Always being motivated by doing the right thing.

Module 8 Reflection

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-19 00:10:26 UTC

Module 8 feels like it feeds into some of the other modules. Managing productivity and control in this module is similar to Module 1. Module 8 helped more or less with reinforcing the ideas to me. Module 8 in spirit is similar to the video games that I used as relics in the previous modules. One thing that was interesting to me in this module was the sub menus of Total Quality Management.

Module 8 Relic (1)

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-19 00:18:36 UTC

The company of Capcom personifies the quality control of module 8. Capcom is a video game company that has released many of the greatest video games of all time. They have released games like Devil May Cry, Street Fighter, Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, Mega Man, and Ace attorney. This company has had a track record of releasing quality games because of their quality control, with one offs of bad games.

Module 8 Relic (2)

aidenwschneider — 2025-08-19 00:26:01 UTC

This article talks about quality control within the healthcare system. This mostly gives some small amounts of new information, but it is rather intriguing to learn about how quality control is about in a sector that is not in business but still uses some of the quality control of the module.
