What is Management?

Management, Management, what are you?
I say you are difficult.
I say you are delegated.
And I say you are dangerous.

Management, Management, what are you?
Duties are hard to accomplish.
Directions are complicated to follow.
And decisions are need to be made cautiously.

Management, Management, what are you?
All elements and characteristics of you are negative,
But once you have them you are tight,
right,
light,
and great.

Management, you could be fun or tedium.

Communication via Blog

Overall I think this blog assignment is a interesting communication tool for this management class. I think that this blog is very interesting and unique in terms of the connection between the class lecture and the course itself. I say interesting because I've never had a blog of mine and this is the very first time I created my first blog. The first time doing something is always very interesting to me. I also say this blog assignment is unqiue because I haven't heard of any courses that have this kind of assignment.

I agree that this blog assignment have a great amount of contribution to this management course. This blog assignment did help me get to learn what the activities that were done in class are related to management through reading other people's blogs. It helps me think back on the activity itself and also management. Though I don't think that this blog helped me in meeting people online. Maybe because this is an assignment I just do what is asked to do, which is posting on your own blog and responding to others' blogs. I just go through the class's list of blog URLs and just pick one to read and respond. I don't look at the names because I don't know who is who and even though I know their names, I do not know their faces in class. So I don't really think this blog benefited me in terms of meeting people online. As for the posts on the professor's blog, I think they were somewhat interesting topics because they help me to learn and relate them to management. And this blog is a somewhat easy 20% of my grade. All there is to do is post my thoughts and opinions and then reply to others' thoughts and opinions. This all depends of the person's point of view, which do not require any hard thinking at all.

So, I think this blog assignment is very straight forward and it is a good part of the management course. I think that I will continue this blog in the near future and post all kinds of topics that I would like to share with people. This is the first blog I created and therefore, wants to keep it going.
