...Questions, Ideas, and Concerns I have over a decade of teaching experience and yet, I am still daunted by the responsibility of expanding my students’ knowledge base and preparing them to be productive members of the workforce. Cognitive psychology research informs us that learning is not a passive process of simply transmitting information from the instructor to the student rather an active mechanism where new information is integrated with student’s previous knowledge, prior experience and the context of today’s workplace. The big question is how? Two new pedagogical tools making waves and based on their staying power, not flavor-of-the-month approaches, are, flipped classroom technique and evidence-based teaching. So, armed with knowledge gained from a variety of teaching workshops, I have been flipping the classroom, i.e., getting students to read and reflect on course material outside of the classroom and freeing time in the class for application, synthesis, and analysis from the course, mixed success. The challenge for me is to design class activities that successfully help students with assimilation of new information. This problem is compounded by the fact that not all students are engaging in pre-class activities due to differences in motivation, experience, and ability. For instance, those who are employed have an edge due to their actual experience related to the management course content. So the challenge is how to teach/reinforce material for those who need help...

...trends so they can make informed decisions about where their business should be in a certain market. According to Opara (2003) “Information is the life blood of modern organizations.” Without information organizations would be making decisions blind. Information in a modern organization flows in a circular motion. For an example of how a major car dealership uses information it gathers. A customer who is prospecting for a new vehicle enters a car dealership not sure of what kind of vehicle he or she may want. An associate greats the new customer and asks a few question to discover what the customer is looking for. This would be the input information that the associate will use to enter into an information system (IS) from this system the associate can help the customer choose what vehicle he or she may be looking for. The information is presented to the customer, after looking at the information the customer chooses a vehicle he or she wants to purchase. The associate inputs his or her personal information into an IS to qualify the customer for financing the vehicle. The information is used by the finance department to set up the financial obligation that the customer will have to pay. Once again the information is cycled back to the customer for his or her input. After the sale of the vehicle the information used is stored into a database that can be accessed to contact the customer about his or her experience and used for future sales. When the vehicle leaves the sales department...

We have a device that can be used for nearly activity we perform from inventory, on hand count, pricing and customer pick up. It is the most important tool we used on a day to day basis. We are currently learning about the new devices which are iPod related. This will be interesting when we receive the devices, because we are hearing bad things about them through our new social media site. The department store has a new social media for the associates. It has different sites for each department and general knowledge site as well. An associate who may be looking for a quick answer to a problem can ask the question and either an administrator or another associate can properly tell the associate the proper procedure. They also can vent a complaint. Every message posted to the site is automatically sent to the associate manager and district manager in case they need to solve it on a...

...Demonstrative Communication Paper Saksitt D Udtana University of Phoenix Business Communication and Critical Thinking BCOM/275 Mr. Ken Edick July 29, 2012 Demonstrative Communication Paper Envision a recently born child and new parent. The child is being held by the parent and crying for a cause which is, at present, unknown. The parent, in concerted effort to determine the child’s need begins to gently rock the child from left to right. This action alone does not avail any more information to the parent other than it is not what the child desires. It is only upon eye contact between child and parent that a realization of possible hunger may exist for the child. The parent musters a bottle of formula and makes initial offerings of small drips on the child’s lips. The child in profound hast, engulfs the nipple of the bottle and begins suckling excitedly, thus both parties have crossed a threshold in their ability to communicate without word or written language. Unspoken Desires The type of communication exhibited between the child and parent is of a type which does not require language to be spoken or written. The communicative process between child and parent began as the child, without cognition of language, determines a need for nourishment. Whether out of instinct or other rational, the child cries to draw attention of the parent. The parent, assuming the mantle of caregiver to the child, attempts to understand the need of the child for cause that the...
