...REFLECTION PAPER It is extremely difficult to estimate the amount of knowledge in existence today. While knowledge is flowing in incredible pace, extraction and application of the relevant information from the bulk of knowledge is vital for many aspect of our lives. As an IMBA student in Florida International University, I have never thought that there was such a strict distinction between the information and the knowledge in today’s technology driven world. However, after taken this course, it is quite clear to me that gathering the beneficial information is not an easy task as it seems before. There are crucial elements to obtain valuable information for the businesses. Every business is unique so the strategies for them too. To illustrate, the desired strategy of the business can be thought as an apple pie. To make an apple pie, first, we need to have flour which is the main ingredient. Thus, data is our main ingredient. However, Databases are like huge swimming pools. There are many data sources that we can collect data but having all the data cannot make a good apple pie which is desired at the end. Similarly, no matter how many ounces we have the flour, it is not possible to prepare an apple pie with having only flour. In this step, knowledge which is ‘know how to make a pie’, takes place. Every business is unique. Therefore, as future managers, we need to know which direction we should choose to pursue our business goals. There are many types of bakery in the world...

Universidad de Sevilla. □ Last version, November 2006 COURSE DESCRIPTION A cost accounting system collects and classifies costs and assigns them to cost objects. The goal of a cost accounting system is to measure the cost of designing, developing, producing (or purchasing), selling, distributing, and servicing particular products or services.

The data provided by a cost accounting system is used for various purposes, which include product costing, planning and control, and decision making. This course mainly focuses on the first of these objectives -products costing. COURSE GOALS Students, as future managers, will utilize, at a minimum, the output of cost systems, which are the primary internal information systems in a firm.

...A-Levels vs. the GPA Having relocated to the United States from the Netherlands just prior to international orientation; I was caught off guard by an onslaught of rather drastic changes, which challenged me to establish an appropriate balance. I was able to utilize my interpersonal skills to quickly make friends within the international group, the football team and the local incoming freshman. I also found that I was ill prepared for the time commitment associated with playing sport at a collegiate level, despite having played professional youth level in Europe. Another challenge I faced was that of the academics themselves. The academics in the British school system focused on fast tracking each student to their desired career goals through the A-level system. This meant that by age 16 we had already selected 3 subjects for our final two years of high school. I had chosen to pursue Economics, Advanced Mathematics and Spanish. The A-level courses allowed me to test out of entrylevel economics and languages. This was beneficial in that I was able to focus on electives however it was detrimental in that it did not benefit my G`PA as it otherwise would have. My decision to come to the United States was to garner a more global education and expand my subject knowledge, however this came with its own set of hurdles. A primary difficulty was enrolling in religion, English Literature, American history and psychology courses that I had no previous exposure to. Despite a rough transition...
