Model Two Journal Entry No. 1 Business Acumen- My current strength of business acumen with my current position would lie in the fact that I understand the fundamentals of the job and the various software platforms that the company uses (Hollenbeck, J. R., Noe, R. A., & Gerhart, B. A. 2019). I do not at this point know all there is to know about construction management, but I know what the goals are, how to read the drawings and schedules and understand lead times. Having the basics along with the desire to learn and grow, I am improving in this section regularly. Consultation- My biggest strength in this area is normally, I do research upon research. I will not answer a question until I know my information is correct. With that in mind I will ask a lot of questions as well. People understand that I am truly asking to learn and better myself and my company and not just asking questions for the sake of conversation. My coworkers and management also understand that I care about the product that I put out so they can trust and rely on the information that I give them. Critical Evaluation- My biggest strength is that I for every question I have I try to come up with a solution and several worse case and best case scenarios. I try to play Devils advocate with everything because I know there is a chance that something could go wrong and I want to be prepared for it. I also understand that there is always room to learn and I welcome others that are able to teach me. References

Scenario
As the lead consultant for Workplace Solutions Consulting, you are the one to deliver recommendations for organizational change to the management of Informational Systems. Some of the ideas involve centralizing some duplicated administration functions in regional locations and others involve de-centralizing product departments to break down silo walls across locations. You collected significant data in order to conduct the best analysis. The bottom line: although all of these changes are for the better for organization, they will be quite disruptive to the personnel at IS.

"AI and machine learning have helped us come an extremely long way, especially in the business world. Because of AI, there has been huge improvement in areas such as the speed of business, customer service, reduction of error, and many other things that have improved the business setting. Today, AI has become so important that many businesses would fail without it. However, something that concerns me in regards to AI is the power that it has. In many instances, AI is a cheap form of labor. In the long run, paying a one time price for machines that will cut and create a business' clothing is much cheaper than paying laborers by the hour to do the same exact tasks. As a result, consumers would pay less for these goods, as the costs of production would be much lower. Besides laborers, AI also puts other workers in a position to be taken over within due time.

This is your first week in your new job at Safety Zone, a leading producer of IT modeling software. Your prior experience with a smaller competitor gave you an edge in landing the job, and you are excited about joining a larger company in the same field. So far, all is going well and you are getting used to the new routine. However, you are concerned about one issue. In your initial meeting with the IT manager, she seemed very interested in the details of your prior position, and some of her questions made you a little uncomfortable. She did not actually ask you to reveal any proprietary information, but she made it clear that Safety Zone likes to know as much as possible about its competitors. Thinking about it some more, you try to draw a line between information that is OK to discuss, and topics such as software specifics or strategy that should be considered private. This is the first time you have ever been in a situation like this. How will you handle it?

CASE STUDY - IT'S NOT ALL DOOM AND GLOOM FOR MULTICHOICE
The South African broadcaster has lost more than 100,000 customers, while many others are
downgrading their packages.
The rising cost of living coupled with more hours of load-shedding and high unemployment has led
many consumers to terminate their pay TV subscriptions while others are downgrading to more
affordable packages.
In June 2023, MultiChoice reported that it had lost more than 100,000 subscribers at the end of
March (2023), adding that customers are more selective when signing up to avoid periods of
excessive load-shedding.
MultiChoice has 9.3-million subscribers in South Africa (SA), 57% of whom are subscribed to cheaper
packages such as Family, Access, and Easy View. The broadcaster said blackouts have hammered its
SA subscriber base and activity levels, with a noticeable effect when load-shedding reaches stage 4
and above, "even when consumers have disposable income".
