When I see Steve Job’s interview online or in Television, I get very motivated. I got inspired from him and therefore I have a dream to become an entrepreneur in future. During my undergraduate, I did two internships .My first internship was at Siemens Ltd. and I worked with 5 other team members. One of them was the project manager. I used to see him that he manages the whole project by assigning tasks, interacting with the stakeholders, then communicating with all the team members and higher authorities regarding project, taking risks regarding project .So I used to wonder that I wish to be like him and gain knowledge. When I was a

After graduating from my undergrad in electronics and communication, I decided to choose a career where I can actually manage project and communicate more with people .But I had only technical skills and no managerial skills. Therefore to gain those skills I decided to pursue masters in engineering management.so that after graduating I will become either a project manager or a business analyst. Because by choosing any of these career I will actually communicate more with the people as well as I will take more responsibilities. So to fulfill my short term goal I am taking courses on project management, business analysis and information engineering and some technical course like database management and web design or user experience engineering. So by doing course on project management and business analysis I gain a knack on managing projects and analyzing a business .These courses will help me understand the roles of a project manager or a business analyst. As well as what all skills I will need and by doing a project I will get a real time practical experience. I believe doing a project will definitely help me to learn more real thing rather than gaining just theoretical knowledge by reading the books .So doing this course I will realize that how much good I am on my managing ability .Now by as I want to be a project manager in the software company ,it is very important for me to learn about the tools which are used in software organization .I cannot become a project
A project manager must be a skillful planner and can inspire his or her team to produce as needed. Per LaBrosse (2007), project management can be used throughout the organization to boost personal and collaborative productivity by building a standardized system that embeds best practices into the way projects are managed” (p.26).
During the coursework I have completed various semester project which helped me learning multiple programming languages, networking concepts, trouble shooting skills and communication skills.
However, obtaining the knowledge required to successfully orchestrate and manage projects is a challenge within itself. Individuals with the drive and desire to become project managers have a number of options regarding the means of properly equipping oneself for real world project management situations. In addition to seeking an academic degree in project management, and before becoming a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) with the Project Management Institute (PMI), learners are encouraged to participate in Project Integration Management Simulations through the PMI Registered Education Provider (REP) and world-class education simulation company, Double Masters (Double Masters, 2016).
Students often ask about the use of project management software applications in this course. In the past we required the use of MS Project for this course but removed it as a requirement when we rewrote the course. The reason we removed it was that MS Project has a very steep learning curve for all but the most basic functions. The software is very expensive and is not web-based so it requires installation on
All of those skills and knowledge are helping me in my workplace. For example, I have learned from the Healthcare Informatics study, the concept of EMR and EHR and their meaningful use in health care settings. Through that concept; nowadays, I have a solid EMR user in my workplace. I will apply that concept in my future high position in the healthcare organizations here in the USA or somewhere in the world. The Project Management and the Marketing studies ameliorated my communication skills. One of my favorite classes was
The majority of project management positions require a bachelor’s degree in a business management related field, as well as a professional certification and management experience. Many project manager professionals elect to obtain a master’s degree or advanced postgraduate certification in project management, analytics, or business management. The Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification is the most recognized certificate for project managers. According to the Project Management Institute, “As a PMP, you can work in virtually any industry, with any methodology and in any location, and earn on average 20% more than without a PMP.” (pmi.org) Education is highly valued in project management; however, important skills such as, good communication and the ability to execute are developed with experience.
“ ( www.bbc.co.uk ). Steve Jobs has highly impressive leadership attributes, and he is a huge reason as to why Apple has been such a successful company.
Talking about success, in a YouTube video by Jandafrique (2009), it shows Jobs himself explaining the rules of success. In the video, Jobs quoted, “You got to love it, you got to have passion”. I strongly agree to what Steve Jobs had said because to succeed, you need to be passionate about what you are doing. A given task would not be a burden to one if that particular one loved their job. They would enjoy doing every bit of it if they love doing it, therefore making everything simpler and faster to accomplish. Other than that,”No matter how smart you are, you need a team of great people” (Jobs cited in Jandafrique 2009) was also quoted by Jobs. One cannot open an organization and work alone to be successful. It would almost be impossible. As quoted by John Heywood, “many hands make light work.” Therefore, this shows the ways and traits in which made Jobs an inspiring man.
Organizations are increasingly relying on information systems to provide support in decision making in operational activities, management functions and for increased effectiveness in its various business areas. As a twenty first century professional, the ability to understand business on a global scale will be highly prized and hence it fascinates and motivates me to learn more and more about it. Now, having worked for about two year, I feel that I am maturing as a professional & should pursue a graduate program to cement my capabilities. As an Information Science graduate, I developed excellent analytical and technical skills and improved my problem-solving abilities, but I never had the opportunity to develop the technical and management interdisciplinary skills necessary to design, create, and maintain computer-based business processing applications or study the emerging needs of corporations in the areas of information technology management or complex project management. To realize my career goal of learning complex information management methods, I clearly must enhance my abilities in these as well as other areas of
He has crossed all the levels of leadership and become the top managers in the world .He was intensely focused when committed, brave enough to take risky leaps, and charismatic enough to enlist legions of employees and clients in the constant objective of his aspirations. When Steve Jobs formed Apple in 1997 and the company was in financial crisis, he knew exactly how to get rid of almost all but a few of key products and projects that matched his vision. The way he stood by his vision inspired his employees and granted great respect from his business partners and
The theories applied to Steve Jobs have opened my mind to realise how important effective leadership styles are to organisations. A lesson learnt from Steve’s leadership qualities is that a leader can adapt different style of leadership and this makes a leader more effective and efficient. The late Apple boss was a master of employing various strategies to adapt to differing scenarios and situations. Steve Jobs did not exhibit a single rhetorical style, but rather altered it depending on the situation and yet still managed to deliver a constant message to support his company’s
In today’s ever growing competitive market the products are getting user friendly, which means products are getting smarter and do the majority of work. Smarter products are complicated, and so is the process to develop them, Project Management is a crucial tool for streamlining complicated processes. As it applies today and in the future, to be successful in the careers mastering technical knowledge will be insufficient, if it is not backed by leadership and management skills. My primary motivation to pursue Project Management Education is to develop business skills, which will help me lead and implement my technical ideas and if required motivate and direct a team towards a common goal.
Engineering managers works with the variety of capacities but they should always have a background in engineering management.

The main skills needed for a successful Engineering manager are technical understanding, project management and performing management duties on time and good communication skills.
At Genesis Institute of Business Management the pedagogy was such that each subject learned was put to practice through live project and in this way I learned not just theoretical but even the practical aspects of every subjects. I studied subjects like Strategic brand management, Entrepreneurship, Market Research , Consumer Behavior , Management Information Systems, Office for Managers, E-commerce, Integrated Marketing Communications, Product Management etc. which gave me an overall idea of a business concern so that while managing businesses in real as manager I can take decisions based on this holistic view. We learned nitty gritty of each subjects by working on number of case studies which we later presented in class with the viable solutions. It was during this time when I was first introduced to the subject of Management Information Systems and I learned in depth about the branch of marketing Information Systems. It was a very good experience learning about how Information can be managed using technology so that it can be used optimally for a business
