Topic#7 My Poem

I don't even know this is proper or not, but in general I got this idea from our Management Class;


Society acts like Child,
individuals more adult.
Professor Kurpis taught us how to combine both.
That's why we got all the five points as a whole.

Topic#6 Communicating Thru Blog

    Communicating thru blog is actually very new idea to me. I haven't had this kind of activity before for any of my classes. When we start blogging I was kind of shy I was very serious and very precise about the topics. what ever I needed to put, I put on the blog. After 4th blog assignment I was kind of "myself" other than "pretending" regular ordinary student.
    I think the idea of blogging is very creative and very helpful for our class. I met with other people and became friends and see their ideas about certain topics. It gives me the idea to look some topics from different angle. I might keep blogging but the idea is very diary type of idea which is not very my type of thing. Despite to that fact I really like writing on the blog. It gives me the feeling like free writing not like homework but due dates are kind of making it like assignments.
   Management like classes should have these blogs for better communication and sharing ideas. I think this idea is very practical for professors and students. Stay connected and interacting with each other.

Topic#5 DISC

    The test was very different and very accurate for me. I came little late but the result came out similar to my personality. I came out DS and I have very difficult personality in term of management. I want to be listened and approved by others but at the same time if opposite situation happens I stay calm and be more agreeable with other.
    I don't know if I want other types but the idea behind this test is not become someone be yourself even it sound different in term of management. Because becoming desired manager doesn't mean proper management. think about the way you act like the manager you don't like and how you cope with the situations that you are struggling with? Being yourself gives you more accurate thoughts and makes you act accurate 
    I think the test helps to determine people's managerial skills but  I haven't done other tests related to the DISC. As you said in the class companies apply the test and determine the candidates for the proper job by using results.  

Topic#4 Dreaming the Right Pathway to Proper Life

       The little video "The Power of Vision" is very simple to understand and includes very affective thoughts  about the future life. For people dreaming is the key factor for the success but at the same time in the video without action dreaming is just a day dream and worth nothing for improving the lifestyle. But taking action based on what we are dreaming and follow the path with the proper vision we succeed in the end of that dream.
        The vision I have is related to the better lifestyle and having a proper life. This also relates to the graduation but I want to take it from different point of view. I came here U.S. 6 years ago and reason is to get a better education. I was studying in my country BA but the opportunity to study in New York is not even comparable subject. And also good U.S. education is worth more than domestic colleges. So those reasons brought me here and this is the beginning of the dream which integrated with the beginning of the vision I have.
        The vision I have about the business life is more likely like my father. He is retired from government also work for the British American Tobacco in Turkey as district General manager. He is a tobacco expert and agricultural engineer. During his professional years I was just a kid but he was the perfect example what I want to be in the future. Because of his work ethics and his honesty I admired him and always want to be like him. First goal of mine is obviously graduate from Baruch, but second one is, about to work with one of those Tobacco companies. Because I am in to tobacco industry and I know structure of the business my goal is work eith them back in Turkey or at least in Europe. The other goal I have is while working with a tobacco company take care of the small business of mine which relates to import and export. So these are going to be very hard to take care of but still the mission is very attractive to me.
        I believe that I am on the right way to achieve my dream. But I still need more Exprience to get there...   
      

Topic# 3 Decision Making

            First of all I admit that was a very bad exprience for the first exam. I got a very low grade from this one and when I heard Professor said that we are going to discuss the exam 1 and decisions for the exam 2 I was so exited. Because I thought that this was going to be election type of decision making process. When he said you have to agree on a single decision which is agreed 100% then  I would accept the demand. First I thought every body would agree on the something, but later while I was looking from the backside of the class that was a whole mess was going on in the class. The lady in the front took in charge that was good sign to organize people, then people were throwing very weird ideas professor said no way, morally I was down and upset. In this type of problems I usually choose not to talk and listen first what people would say about the situation and seeking for the good ideas. But professor said you can't limit me I was colapsed and my mood was totally compromise and ways to collaborative.
           The class after that decision we took professor said you could have offer this and that some ideas he said was way better than the one we picked up and because of miscomunication in the class and everybody had their own ideas we couldn't make the most efficient idea in my opinion. still I am thinking that we made a positive progress at least we have something in our hands and it is better than nothing.

Topic #2 Eggs-cellent Way to Plan (Failure) :((((

The Whole Process Went Wrong...
    Due to my health problem I was thinking not to come to class but I had changed my mind and showed up 20 minutes late. I found my self in a rush of planing a protection cage for an egg. First I couldn't understand how we manage the egg with 9 straws and 2 feet of adhesive tape. Our group put me in to physics of the cage, but what I had in my mind was totally different. I suggest our group that something more protective but solve the problem with 9 straws and 2 feet of tape bit of complicated. one group made it what I had in my mind and congratulations.
We couldn't make a proper plan...
    The plan I had was similar to the one they won with but more complicated. I had in my mind instead of pyramid, something round and in the middle of it is going to be egg and when we drop it, it will bounce like ball in theory. But I couldn't figure out how to do that with 9 straws and tape and also other fact that 50% of the egg should show up. It was a bit of complication the group eventually eliminate the idea. As a group we should have thought on that idea and might develop something similar to that pyramid, but we couldn't. We were racing against the time and that was my mistake to come late and not put the ideas properly in front of the group. Our group took a decision which has a lot of mechanical problems for the protection. We made a very uneven shape and not even geometrical when we go to the stage many groups made same or similar stuff with the straws and we all lost the contest.
Should Have Done...
    As I said before if we improve the idea that I suggest, we might have been successful with the plan and the protection. Sticking to the plan is I think most important thing with production. On the other hand It is a bit of hard topic building some kind of a protective cage for and egg. We are business school students not studying mechanical engineering so it is very difficult to plan mechanical thing and make it real. it is very hard.
