Personal Reflection Paper
What is Management? Is it the study for the businessman only? The answer is ¡§no¡¨. We, students or even the parents, are the managers too. Managers need not be the businessmen. We can all act as managers to achieve the goal and make decision to solve the problems every day. Therefore, I like Business management very much yet is an interesting subject. We can use the management theory in our everyday life. Actually, Management is the process and activities of planning, organizing, leading and controlling, in order to achieve the organizational objectives. Let me share my experience on using management theory in the daily life in order to show that what I gain and benefits from the course of Business Management. We, college student, have to work on several team presentations in a semester. We often face a lot of difficulties on problem solving, breaking down the work into different tasks, assigning work and encouraging teammates to work etc. These kinds of problem occur again and again. So for the past presentation, I suggested that we could apply the management theory to help us to complete the presentation. First, we established objectives and courses of action before we started. We started by reading the presentation questions. This was the process of planning. It was the case study questions so we defined our situation first. We forecasted the barriers to complete the presentation. The barriers included how to put the related information to answer the questions correctly and how to group a lot of answer precisely. Then we developed action plans to reach the goal such as brainstorming and dropping down the notes for each questions.
