First Week of Business
This was our first week in Introduction Business and it was a short week. Because it was a short week we did not have much to do this week. The first day of class we went over the syllabus, was toured around the classroom, took two personality tests to see what our personality type was. Once we did that we put them on a sticker so it made it easier to form our teams for projects, though the teams will change. Then the second day we had our first thought questions and first homework about wants and needs. We made bridges with our teams and ways to make the voting for the school more popular and then we expanded those ideas. And now finally we are making our blogs so we can work on them every week. So this week we learned about team work and how it can help us or hurt us. I think that teamwork can help or hurt us because in a team one or two people can only do the work but it can help because we can have different personalities from every person that can help the whole group. The teamwork was really shown when we made the bridges with two minutes of talking about ideas and five minutes of building with no talking. This shows good teamwork because whoever had the longest bridge was the winner and if they won with the longest bridge it means that they had good teamwork together.

I also found that teamwork can be a good or bad omen to a group. If members do not agree, then the process can reverse, and more arguing will take place rather than production. In addition, this will result in a bad product or service, and later one, a lack of consumers buying the product.
ReplyDeleteI love how you went over everything you did, because I wasn't there for the first day of class so its cool to see what you guys did! I loved the bridge activity, not only because it was teamwork, but also because it had hands on learning experience!
ReplyDeleteTaking the personal test is interesting because it make you know what kind of people you are working with in the business group.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the way you described the day. Its vivid and it seems like I was there with you. I really like working with you and I hope we get to work more together. I really like the idea of the personality test.
