Technology and Management Functions
When describing how technology and management function within my personal work environment. I had to review the past and present management alongside the mass media and how it would pertain to this paper; Giant RV has neglected to update their technology to increase their ability to overcome past setbacks. Technology, mass media, and outstanding management have never been a large importance in the recreational vehicle industry. This industry has been behind in technology for many years, it has become increasingly harder to improve standards to public when management will not spend the extra cost to explore new avenues. It would be to the companies benefit to explore the Internet, radio, newspapers, television, and to other industries to increase knowledge on how other companies venture out to expand their profit through mass media. If management within the recreational vehicle industry would implement new standards to improve how the recreational vehicle industry does business this might increase revenue throughout the United States and within Giant RV. By doing this it could change many of the standards already in place throughout the United States and how other recreational vehicle dealerships do business. Mass Media
With many ways to explore how management can overcome this setback they could look at how the mass media has implemented suggestions within the population so that many will follow the media’s recommendation on trends and political thoughts. These thoughts and suggestions usually implemented throughout the Internet, Radio, and Television through intercommunication. As the national population looks to the media to provide the latest in trends and current events so do business to crate profit for the next fiscal year. For example, the nation’s populations were provided with information through the media that may have swayed the vote during the 2008 election. The media only presented information that was relevant to the opinion of radio or television station on their behalf. Therefore, swaying and persuading the population to vote in that direction. So therefore, it is possible that the recreational vehicle industry could sway the population to buy recreational vehicles and increase their profit. The Impact of Electronic Media As of the present time lets examine and study at how the electronic media and how it has changed the way people look at decision-making and how it may impact the views of men and women in society; in regard to work, happiness, and their social responsibilities. Electronic media has impacted the American society through history. This is described as a cultural storm on the pacific (Wilson & Wilson, 2001). Therefore, the government has tried to implement harsher restrictions on movies, syndicated televisions, music, and the radio along with large corporations. Government officials devised a rating system on movies and restrictions on language, sex, and violence for the television, radio, and music industry. So why is there little restriction on how large corporation do business and why is it not the reasonability of the owner to comply with new technical updates. I believe it is up the American public to start setting the standards for medium to large businesses and how they comply with those standards. If the American public does nothing this intern will set the way for the youth to develop a lack of respect toward his or her peers and increase the dangers in our workforce. The electronic media and the large corporations have set trends for the American population for years. These trends can consist of listing to the radio, watching television, going to the movies, buying cars, and purchasing different types of electronic. When a person watches or listens to the electronic media different messages are subconsciously placed in the minds of the individuals so that the certain trends will be fallowed. Television, radio, and movies can impact the judgments of one’s personal display at work, home, and in the social environment. As one watches a movie or television and listens to the radio, he or she may draw conclusions based on what they see or hear and what one believes is right or wrong. One may wake up one morning and decide to listen to the radio or perhaps had watched a television program the night before and conclude that he or she needs the newest RV, car, or electronics to obtain a certain standard and work or within society. However, this type of individual may believe that the electronic media is telling the truth about a certain types of car or RV’s. He or she also may find a controversial topic that leads to a confrontation at work causing the individual to have problems and an attitude toward a certain race based on what he or she has heard or has seen. The electronic media and the American population decide who they want to target it perhaps is based on gender, race, or age. They make decisions based on theories, consumer reports, and surveys, and implement it on the television, movies, and the radio. People believe that commercialized items will bring happiness and joy to their lives. They tell friends and family members about products and information based on what they heard or saw and what they believe to be true. Therefore, the industries have won; individuals base their existence in life primarily on where they live and what they have at their grasp and base this on their social status. So we want change, but we are unwilling to jump in at the latest and newest improvements and based on this information how can large corporations and Giant RV not improve their standards and increase their revenue. I believe it is unwillingness to grasps the needs of the consumers and only grasp the needs of the industry. This however places the risk primarily on the corporations and Giant RV for not taking advantage of the knowledge and profit they would obtain through the use of the mass media. This would allow them improve their technology and management and advance the RV industries into the future.
