Collaboration in businesses

Collaboration is key in businesses today. If businesses are not using collaboration they are missing out on many ideas. When people work together people make better products than when they work alone. Collaboration can be used in many aspects in a business. It can be used in the production of products; it can be used to come up with the ideas for products. Collaboration can be used for anything in an organization or business. When people work together in businesses, businesses thrive and when people withhold information and keep it to themselves a business wilts and that business will fall apart from the inside out so this is why collaboration is so key in organizations.

Technology or people who is to blame

In my opinion, people are the reason for most problems in technology. Companies always think that it is the technologies fault that a person cannot enter the data in the computer the right way or that it was the technologies fault that the lab top went missing with everyone’s social security card number. This is a problem I have with companies and stupid people. If a company is willing to hire a stupid person they should be ready to handle the stupid person’s mistakes. This should be no big deal because most companies are ran by stupid people that keep 30 million in profits from last year because they want to buy a new house on a remote island for their 9 month old kid to live on when they are grown. You can see that I am so passionate about this topic. I wish that I was a billionaire so that I could at least show all of these rich people that they are so stupid. O.k. sorry but if you have an opinion give it to me because I think I need someone to explain this topic to me thanks.

organizations & their cultures

An organization culture is such a vital part in the way that a business is ran. If a company does not understand its culture in its business then it is soon to fail. The culture of an organization deals with the way people interact, how they associate thing to one another, how people perceive other people. How people react to certain situations. There is a lot to the culture of an organization. When a company can harness what the culture is in is organization that is when a company can sit back and relax and watch the money pile up as they would say. This is because that is you can make all of these things work together, that is when people want to come to work and make better project and stay late and come early and do all the things that make companies great. You see a company is only as good as its working parts. Just because the head of the organization does one thing does not mean that the body will do the same. This is why if the head (the CEO and upper management) focus on what the body wants then they will be able to move in the right direction. This is how all big business should be run in my belief.

database management

A database is such a key role in an organization. If a database goes down a company (well most of them) go down with it. This is where all the information is stored for the whole company. It is such a vital part to have a good database team, that companies try their best to recruit the very best people in the field to work and maintain their databases. If a company now a day’s tried to say that database was just a minor part of an organization the company might fire him (or they should). Everything that a company does is now on the database. The reports and queries and so many other parts to an organization is just there at your finger tips because the smart people a long time ago made things much easier. If you ask a regular person where do you think a company stores your records, they would probably say, somewhere in a filling cabinet in a dark room? People that don’t know much about computer have no idea that database have changed the way companies do business. Companies can run fast get better analysis of thing and so much more because of database. I think that database technology will be the cutting edge of technology in the future. When we can grasps the knowledge that comes in data that is when databases will reign supreme.

How does a company maintain a competitive advantage

A company maintains a competitive advantage by utilizing the skills that they have excelled in for so long. Sometimes things need to be changed to compete with the evolving market. When this happens there is no need for a company to go crazy trying to find away to reinvent themselves. They just need to stick with what has always worked. A company has distinct competences that it works with and no matter how much they want to do something different or anything else they have to stick with what they are good at or profitable at, the moment they differ from that, is when the company will start to go downhill and start to lose money. So if a company wants to maintain its competitive advantages they better start early and figure out what they can do with what they are ready have to make them competitive again.

About.com

About.com manages its business in a very unique way. About has guides as they call them, that they employee to record information on topics that they are experts in. This is a concept that is very different than many companies. These guides work on their own time and work at their own pace. These people are an essential resource to About.com. About is so successful because these Guides are highly motivated to work. About.com is a website that lets people ask questions about any topic they want and get answers that have been posted or answered. About is most like a search engine that is designed to help people find information. About.com makes its money like most search engine companies they allow advertisement to try to sell products. Companies have found out that people that like to try to find out things they also want to purchase product. This is good for both people and companies that advertise on About and for About. The more people buy from these advertisements the more they will advertise. Then that means that about gets more money and that means they can pay more people to be guides, and that means that better information get passed to the people. I think this is very important, what about you.

Internet and test

It is crazy how things change. I can remember that everyone use to have to take all test by hand and it was forbidden to use the computers because teacher thought you could cheat. Now i go to class and the teacher say do your homework online take this 150 question test online. Teacher now a days dont want anything on paper. I had to right a paper the other day in one of my class i thought that my hand was going to fall off because in never write anymore. i donr know if this is a propblem but it is funny how life changes so fast i always thought my parents were crazy when they said that things change and they could remember when things use to be different. Now aday i can see things changing day by day. t is crazy to think how much life will change in the next year beside then next 5 to 10. In stead of parents asking there kids what do they want to be, they will be saying now what do you not want to be cuz it looks like you will have to do a little of eveything to get by in the future.

job hunting

The market for jobs is opening up. Companies I have found are trying to find well rounded college grads that have a high gpa. This is good for me but they all want to do interns or not pay enough. I donr know what to do. I want to get paid for what i do but i dont want to waste my time with an intern with some company to find out that all they were doing was using me to patch a hole in their company and then let me go when i intership is up. If you have any information or have experience in this problem let me know please.

X-box or Playstation problems

X-Box- has this problem called the three rings of death. This is due to the hard drive failing and not being able to process the games anymore. This problem is easyly fixed though. All you have to due is send it back if it is under warrenty and they will fix it and seend it back and you are good to go. If the systemis not under warrenty then you are screwed becaus you could buy a new system for what they want to fix the problem. So this is a problem becaus eit always seems to happen right after the warrenty runs out.
Playstation- has this problem to it is a little different but mostly the same. If oyu send a playstation back though you might have to send it back multiple times to fix the same problem it seems like they justcant get it right the first time. ou can send a playsation back though and it doesnt have to be under warrenty and they will fix it for free. But they just cant seems to get it right

So you cant win for loosing this is the case in many things but these two companies need to find out how to help out the customers and I and promise you the one that can do it the best will win out in profits by a mile. Due something PLEASE!!

Facebook!!!

I have a account on facebook like most people, but facebook here lately has been doing strange things. I just thought they were doing updates and things of that nature but come to find out people are putting viruses and trojan horses on there. It comes from the update section on facebook. Facebook will tell you that someone has posted something aboout you then it will ask you to access your personal account you setup somthing like normal but this time it will give you viruses and trojans. I got me a trojan the other day and it was not good so beware of facebook.

Contrast- (data, information, knowledge, & wisdom

Data- to me data is the key element to any problem. You have to have data to find out the best way to do something. You also have to share this data. You also have to use the data in a way that will be benifical to your cause. Data is key to any problem.
Information- This is what you get from the data. You would never have information if you did not have data. Information can be very helpful in finding out how to do things in the best ways. Many people do things everyday and find new and better ways of doing them. If everyone would share this information people could find the solutions to problems much faster.
knowledge- Is what you get from information. If you study information you can find out the best ways to do certain jobs. If you use this information and build from it and come up with new ways of doing things then this is where knowledge is formed.
Wisdom- this is what you get when you use knowledge to figure out other problems. This only comes when you have delt with data that has turned into information that has then turned into knowledge about something that has then been used to find new ways to do things. When you put all of these thing together this is where wisdom comes from. Wisdom is not give it is earned through hard work and determination and through years of experience dealing with the same problems.
