Instructor’s Comments:

The cases that we analyzed as a group as part of the class requirements were very interesting. I was able to relate to both cases especially due to the company I work for. Case number 1, was related on how to survive and adapt to a new market place. As the company I work expands, it continues to navigate and explore new markets with the different products it manufactures. Case number 2, concentrated on how pay attention to contracts and making sure one does its homework before making any type of decisions. I was able to learn from both cases different type of information system solutions and how to manage it.
The group projects were very helpful by allowing us to learn how to communicate and work together as a long distance team. It was very hard at first, especially because one of the team member drop the course one week before our first project was due. However, we shined as a group and we were able to complete the project in a timely manner. I learned that the best way to get a long distance project done is by breaking the project into different parts and spreading the work in between members, then setting a due date for all the parts and making sure that the group gets together to discuss each other’s part so that each individual understands the project to the fullest. This is also very helpful due to the fact that by the end of the discussion we as a group could also create the conclusion of the case projects.
At the present time, the technology in place makes it easier to do all this projects remotely with a group of people who could be all over the world. One only needs an internet connection and a computer with applications that allows you to communicate. Yet, one of the major problems we has as a group was the different schedules everyone had, and I think that’s why it was very important for the work to divided among the group for then a later discussion and conclusion.
