...Reflection Manager Interview MGMT 3110-002 | Fall 2015 | Professor Joel Nichols | University of Memphis |November 19, 2015 Individual Experience Reflection Interviewing a manager was a great experience and I have learned a lot from it. I had interviewed a former manager and owner of a sewing shop called Alterations and her name was Norayda Bautista. It was a great learning experience by getting to know the manager’s duties and perspectives. Being a manager requires a lot of work, skills, and determination. The first question asked on this interview was about their day-to-day duties. Bautista’s daily tasks were to assign loads of work and give instructions to get things done in time. She signed a subcontract with a clothing company and she received orders from them to sew clothing and it would be picked up on a certain day of the week. Besides assigning work and giving instructions, she also worked on scheduling employees. I also asked her what goals she and her team members had set. Bautista had set a quota to just finish all of their work by the end of the week. Their tasks depended on what their contractor from the subcontract has asked for them to sew and alter. Bautista’s strategy to achieve the goal was to teach her employees how to work and keep them on track to get work done faster. It seemed that Bautista focused on speed since schedules were usually tight. Timing and speed were two important factors. Next question of this interview was asking if the manager had...

...Manager Interview Paper Job satisfaction, Motivation and Leadership in the Workplace Introduction As a business major, I surround by numerous success stories from internet, magazines and visiting business professionals in different lectures. They all achieve a certain kind of success although they may have totally different background, organizational culture and management style. Therefore, it is hard for me to find the common point behind their successes. When I start to learn organizational behavior, I begin to understand how their successes connect to each other with the help of various concepts and theories. In order to further understand whether managers implement the concept in to a real work scenario, I interviewed Peng Liu, the vice president of Hisen Pharmaceuticals Co., and write this paper to find out what exactly he did in a daily basis, and how his managing style related to the theories and concepts in organizational behavior. By summering and evaluating the findings, I could possibly understand why organizational behavior deserve to be learned and applied by managers, even it requires extra time, money and efforts beyond their responsibilities.

...Football Manager is an enormously complex simulation. On a global level, the game tracks thousands of careers, ambitions and relationships, and on any given match day, weather, morale, skills and individual personal issues can contribute to moments of brilliance or abject failure. Talking to Sports Interactive’s director Miles Jacobson, I found that the simulation model is even more elaborate in some areas than I’d expected. Read on to find out about the game’s expanding narrative engine, how climate change is forcing the team to update the code that generates weather patterns, why the ugliest aspects of football have no place in FM and how a non-contract player’s family situation might prevent him from playing for your club. RPS: You’ve mentioned in previous interviews that you have a database of thousands of features to implement eventually. But do you have an overall vision of where the game is going to be in two or three years? Is there a shape that it’s taking? Jacobson: I tend to work two versions ahead. It used to be three but it’s two now because we’re managing to fit in a lot more each year, so there’s always an overall vision for the game. Whether that’s a year of revolution or of evolution – I think, certainly, the revolution years are going to be less and less because there’s so much in the game already that we’d rather look at evolving certain large chunks of the game each year. When you’re working on an annually iterative sports title that’s based on real life...
