Technology

As our groups get ready to present our proposals to the clients and visiting guest, I am able to reflect upon the use of technology with concern to this project. Technology proved to be a vital element when getting our proposals together. Through Blackboard, we were easily able to pass along each group member's work to every other member of the group. Also, through e-mails we were able to discuss meeting times, possible ideas, and more. Our use of technology was not limited to this though. In our project itself, we were able to use graphics programs. These proved beneficial in relaying our goals through the use of visuals and not just text. Technology was definitely a crucial element with regards to our projects.

Ethics

I have actually missed the last couple of classes because I was not feeling too great, but I am able to talk about my own ethical principles. I know what is wrong and what is right and I also know that you should not compromise your own morals just to make a profit as many CEOs have done in today's world. You must be able to stand by your principles because once those are gone, you have absolutely nothing left. Even if you are poor, your morals are what matter most because they define what kind of person you are. Money and possessions do not define a person. I am only a sophomore so I still have some time until i enter the workforce, but I know that I want to become a manager. As a manager, I know that I must be able to rely upon my morals to be a guiding principle because clients and other personnel members will not stand for wishy washy principles from the person who is supposed to be leading them. I feel as if I will undoubtedly be able to manage effectively while also maintaining my ethics.
