Our group had met several times before deciding on a final design and date to accomplish our Rube Goldberg Machine. We had each agreed to meet at 7:30pm on a Thursday evening, which worked best for the entire group. Two members had to work late, but we were still committed to making the time originally proposed. However, that night as our team began to arrive, we found it difficult to contact our final group member. He was in charge of bringing string, which was crucial to the development of our machine. Instead of getting frustrated, angry, or acting irrationally, the remaining four members began assembling the pieces of our project that did not require rope. At the time, it did not seem to make much difference, but reflecting back we realized how much time was saved by problem solving immediately, as opposed to waiting patiently on the final group member to begin our assembly process. By 8:30pm he had arrived, and we could start working on the remainder of our assignment. By this point, we had made a water funnel, arranged our domino pieces, and taped any pieces of equipment together that made sense for the final product of our machine.

If we look at the Kolb (1984) explained how learning has four stages as well as Honey and Mumford learning styles we can see how this can be incorporated into our delivery models. The use of tests for example during the assessment process or conclusion activities in the classroom or assessment can be directly reflected into the Kolb model. Knowing how our students learn will ensure I am delivering my lesson at the right level to our audience using the correct teaching strategies.

Women may find themselves in some accommodation requirement circumstances at work, due to the ability to be both pregnant and employed. This does not mean that they do not have the ability to work. In fact, because of their medical requirements related with their pregnancy, they would need to have some work accommodation made by their employer to make it easier and possible. As result, women have been struggling for years, when it comes too social and workplace equality.

In any organization, the manager wears many hats. Their responsibilities go beyond just managing a group of people. On top of managing, they have to be communicators, coaches, and advocates, just to name a few of the many hats. Part of being an effective communicator includes reporting and implanting changes that may come down from upper management. Change can bring out many emotions in people, like anxiety. How a manager handles the change and implements it within their department can either make their people feel good about it, or heighten their concerns ("Managers And Supervisors: Importance And Role", 2014).

The CPA is there to help the business. In this case, the CPA was not the best, but the CPA could help with the financial process. Setting better controls, which would make his job then easier.

In looking ahead on our scheduling, do you anticipate any new orders beyond the current PO that we are working on? We should have it completed sometime next week and I want to stay ahead of the game for scheduling our sewing floor hours.

One of the ways we are able to fully “get” our customers and ensure that they are satisfied and receiving the product they desire, is by creating a unique customer profile for each new client. When creating a customer profile or customer database for each and every new customer, we are able to access our customer’s information using the software HouseCall Pro to help streamline our customer’s experience. The use of this software allows us to “Keep customers, jobs & invoices safely backed up in our private cloud. Also grow relationships by always having job history close at hand.” (HouseCall).

Kolb’s theory (1984) is based on a four-stage learning cycle in which the learner contacts all the stages. These stages include first, concrete experience (how an individual encounters a situation), second, reflective observation (what an individual thinks about the situation), third, abstract conceptualization (how the individual analyzes the situation), and fourth, active experimentation (how the individual’s use of the conclusions in a situation change or prepare for another situation) (p. 21). Kolb also understood that individuals have different learning styles. Some individuals learn by observing while others learn by hands-on experience. Therefore, Kolb created side cycles to explain where in the learning cycles an individual’s learning style would fall. Although Kolb’s theory is a

Senior management did not appear to be very supportive or committed to this project. They did not provide vested leadership to guide and enable the project manager and his team to succeed. When problems were identified early on, resources were dispatched to the project but they served to be a bigger detriment than an aide to achieve the project objectives. Informing the senior management of problems at an early stage should render support and encouragement that will serve all the interests of the project team. However, this senior management team provided threats and intimidating management methods. Resources are commonly shared by a number of projects and distributing of critical resources will usually be made by senior/upper management. This did not appear to happen in this case.

As the case study states, SAS as perfected the art of employee management and I could not agree anymore. They’ve kept the ranking of ‘The World’s Best Place to Work’ for years. I took the liberty of researching if they are still at number one, as the book was published in 2013 as well as the article link professor provided. However, as at March 9, 2017, SAS was ranked number two, being overthrown by GOOGLE. A midst the defeat, they are still very close to another win and in their defeat there is also a victory as no other company has held that record for such a long period.
