Please do this by answering the questions that follow. (You may want to review the answers that you submitted from the Phase 2 Discussion Board. You will want to also review your instructor’s feedback and integrate changes as necessary.) 1. What three success strategies (from the Student Success Strategies Guide) will you plan on using throughout your degree program to help you be a successful student? The 3 strategies that I have chosen to adopt are making a “to-do list”, breaking larger projects down into more manageable chunks and balancing work and school. 2. Why will these strategies be most beneficial to you? MS can challenge your cognitive abilities and mess with your short-term memory. The longer I manger this disease the more I see this symptom. With that being said, making lists of what I need to get accomplish will be a great help. I see this as an on-going living list that will change often. I see this being an electronic list so priorities can be rearranged and updated easier. Breaking tasks into more manageable chunks I think will be essential to my success. I sometimes get so wrapped up in the over size of a project and get overwhelmed...

...The digital media and Web technology major is the career that feed my passion, because this career will help me prepare in the field of digital design. I know that this professional field is the correct career for me, because according to the Learning Evaluation and Assessment Directory I took in the EDCP 100 Module Learning Preferences, my best learning style is Tactile, where my strengths have to do with everything that involve engaging physically learning. Therefore, is a fact that I’m a "hands-on learner" which means that I should look for a career where I can use my learning by doing style. I could separate my dreams in two kinds. First will be the dreams that I will like to achieve for my family and second the dreams I will like to achieve professionally work wise. For instances, my family dreams are been able to buy my mother a home and make her life comfortable. I want to be able to provide my wife and children with a good living. I want to be able to provide my children the tools they will need for their education. The dreams that I will like to achieve work wise after I become a college graduate are been able to work for a computer animation film studio. In the same time, I want to continue working on my education until I achieve my next goal, a Master degree in Digital Media. After achieving this goal, I want to start a computer animation film studio. When I have established successful my company, I...

...1. Introduction to C&S Department, HKSAR 1.1 Department background The place where I took the internship is called the Census and Statistics Department, HKSAR.The Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) together with statistical units established in various government departments forms the Government Statistical Service (GSS), representing a network for the provision of government statistical services. The latter are generally called the "outposted statistical units". Broadly speaking, most general-purpose statistics come under the responsibility of C&SD. The statistical units in various government departments take care of specific-purpose statistics and provide necessary support in the application of statistics. Generally speaking, the whole work of C&SD can be classified into three categories: 1) Conducting statistical surveys and operating statistical systems for the production of social and economic statistics including data series on such areas as population, external trade, commerce and industry, labour, prices, national income and Balance of Payments; 2) Performing statistical analysis and disseminating statistical data and analytical results; and 3) Providing consultation and support services on statistical matters to various government departments. And the mission of C&SD is 1) to provide adequate, relevant, reliable and timely statistics to facilitate research, discussion, planning and decision making within the government and in the community; 2) to ensure that the...

...An evocative personal accomplishment was the way in which I dealt with profound disappointment. My first full-time job was an unsympathetic wakeup call. I had just graduated with a degree from one of the top engineering schools in the country, and possessed a naïve assurance in my abilities. I expected to succeed easily at work, after having made it through such a tough curriculum. Two weeks after I graduated, I started my job as engineering technician at BASF and suddenly found myself in a drastically different environment. It was difficult to adjust from the bliss of college days to the new grim reality I found myself in. The long commute, loneliness, and humorless atmosphere at BASF were some of the main elements I disliked about my new life. I worked hard at my job, cranking out test results and reports at a competitive rate. However, the position involved performing a lot of tedious lab testing and soon I stopped finding challenge in it. I did the work assigned to me in an organized and timely manner, but little more than that. At my 6-month review, I was triggered to change my way of working. My supervisor rated me fairly well on my productivity but noted that my job knowledge was lacking. She wrote that I showed glimmers of “getting it,” but that I did not have a full understanding of the product or process. She also mentioned that though I produced work fast, I did not extensively consider why I was doing it, how it relates to the overall business, or...

...company. I think marketing and strategy is an integral part of any business today, so it takes everything from the scratch to execution, without a marketing strategy, a product can never be a success. Also during my undergrad studies, I came across a course known as entrepreneurship management, which generated a spark in me to learn more about marketing management and strategy. Although having a limited internship experience in data driven marketing, it would be a great opportunity for me to learn something about strategies for different customer segments and analysis of various markets through the marketing courses in my MBA curriculum and apply it to real life situations.

There are lots of different studies on how Steve Jobs, the “Apple’s” chief executive officer (CEO), is leading the company to success. However, the main purpose of our work is not to analyze each of them, but to see what explanation of the company’s success can be found in certain articles, literature reviews and what can be learnt from Jobs’ way of presenting a product. Results of some findings have proved that the management style of the “Apple” CEO makes the company successful. Then, as soon as the mentioned CEO starts to speak, his presentation informs, entertains and inspires, capturing the audience. The simple techniques he uses can be borrowed by anyone for any kind of presentation. The value of this report is in depicting the management and leadership related issues when Steve Jobs is taken as a role model. Introduction “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower” * Steve Jobs By now “Apple” is one of the most well known brands in the world.

...My first goal is to get on the A,B honor roll. To get on this honor roll the name explains itself. You have to get A’s and B’s on your report card.

...The Fall of Affordable Dream Homes How well can someone know the reasons for failure of a business? In my case, intimately. I partnered with my husband Dave for five years as a general contractor in our business Affordable Dream Homes. We became a statistic, one of the fifty-five percent of businesses that fail before their fifth anniversary (Hatten, 2009, p. 17). In the years that have passed since our business failed, I’ve mulled over why and have wrestled with what we could have done differently. Businesses fail for many reasons. Our case was classic. We failed in the long run first and foremost due to poor management. We also lacked capital, expert advice, marketing know-how, and we were pricing our product incorrectly. Off to a Great Start We started the business with great prospects, however. My husband Dave and I had dreamed of opening our own business for over ten years. Both of us craved the independence afforded us of working for ourselves, but between the two of us, we didn’t possess much in the way of small business management experience. I worked as an accounting and administrative clerk. Dave had a degree in construction management. He had managed a Winchell’s donut shop for two and a half years fresh out of college and then worked in residential construction as a construction manager and finish carpenter for five years. We became homebuilders in March of 1992. Our goal was to build beautiful, affordable new homes for clients and we named...
