...June 30, 1990. I came to the United States when I was 18 years old. I attended to Glendale Community College before I transferred to California State University of Los Angeles. My major is Business Management. This is my third quarter in California State University of Los Angeles and I am junior in this year. I spent a lots of time to choose my major. First of all, I decided my major as Business Administration, but when I transferred to California State University of Los Angeles and I knew that I could choose different options of Business Administration in this university, that’s why I chose the management because it’s too hard for me to make a great decision for major. I thought that this major might be so difficult for students, but when I took Management 306 in last quarter, I understood that this major was for me. I had career goal in the past, for example, I wanted to become soccer player when I was child. I went to soccer training in my hometown and I wanted to be a famous player as Lionel Messi, but I couldn’t approach to that goal because I came to the United States and forgot about that goal what I had in the past. Finally, I chose business as major because the business is the first place in the United States and that’s made me to choose business as major especially management. I am taking this course because it is required course for business majors. It’s interesting for me because you know how to manage your business, employers and other people who are working with you...

...THE IMPACT OF VIDEO GAMES ON STUDENT GPA, STUDY HABITS, AND TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS: WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL? The results showed that students reporting a high category usage of video games did report lower GPA’s than students reporting a low category usage of video games. This data agrees with previously conducted and cited research such as Anand [1], Harris & Williams [2], and Stinebrickner & Stinebrickner [3]. Research by Anand [1] also found the correlation between higher video game usage and lower GPA to be significant on a 95% confidence interval, which is comparable to the results of this study. Harris & Williams [2] also determined a significant decrease in GPA as video game usage went up. The results of Stinebrickner & Stinebrickner [3] were similar to this study in that increased video game usage resulted in a drop in GPA of 0.241 on a 4.0 scale, while this research determined a drop in GPA of 0.19. These were both significant drops in GPA. This research supports previous research conducted and points to the fact that higher video game usage does indeed have a negative correlation with students’ GPA. References: 1. Anand, V. (2007).

...Memory Management Paper JJ Barnes POS/355 Version 9 April 15, 2013 John Buono Memory Management Paper As any person utilizes a computer system, what appears to be a simple click-and-point user interface is actually a symphony of data management being controlled by both memory and process management. At their simplest form, the data manager is how the computer system stores and recalls date collected from the user and the process manager controls the processes and systematic applications with the data. This paper will further define both of these managers and discuss their functionality and purpose. Without these two important key pieces, the computing of today would be impossible. Before a process manager can be discussed, the memory manager should be explained. The computers today are multitaskers. They are constantly running multiple processes at any given time. Stallings (2102) stated “Effective memory management is vital in a multiprogramming system” (306). What does the memory manager do with the data that has been given to it? The best way to answer this question would be to simplify the data. Data, in the form that this paper is referring to, is all information used by a computer in order to store, reuse, or even compute. The memory manager must take the data and figure out a way to store it in a way that it will not be overwritten and in a secure spot where the data can be retrieved when needed. The memory manager uses various mechanisms that assist...

...Leadership Point of View To be a good leader you must first know of to follow. My first job was at McDonald’s when I was 15; I have to say the greatest influences in my life came from my time at McDonald’s. Two managers come to mind Marilyn Smith and Ambrose King. Ambrose was the store manager, and the leader he believed in treating every employee with the same respect, and dignity he expected to receive. He never acted as if he was better than anyone else or that there was anything he was too good to do. He would never ask you to do something he would not or had not done, for example cleaning up after an ill customer. He taught me that a true leader is humble, patient, and kind. He was the type of leader who did not need to ask for or command respect it was given willingly because he earned it. Marilyn was the first African American woman in my life at that time that had accomplished something. She was the assistant store manager, and she was hard working dependable, confident, and well respected behind her back, and in her face. Good managers need certain skills to manage, conceptual, interpersonal, technical, and political (Robert Katz 1974, p. 901-902). I may not have known it at that time, but I know now that it is a rare thing to find all these skills in the same manager, and Marilyn had them all. The most important thing I learned from her is to have confidence in my abilities and others will see it, do the work and, learn the job inside and out. The one event or time...

...Marco Lappo CMN 101-101 3 November 2015 Communication 101: Paper #2 Communicating and Leading: Change in Organizations The case study, Communicating and Leading: Change in Organizations, focuses on Kathy Fuller who is the assistant Vice President at Third Bank in Carson, Texas after transferring from the Chicago location. Fuller was asked to go to the Carson location in order to help the struggling branch improve in its productivity and overall success. On her first day, Kathy has a meeting with the shift supervisors and business lead- Debbie Borders, Christy Flynn, Sean Cooper and Matt. They inform Fuller on the problems the branch has come into due to the previous management, and leave her with the task of figuring out how to improve the company’s efficiency and employee satisfaction (Bates). Throughout the case study, it is clear Third Bank contains multiple characteristics of organizations and leadership, and they follow organizational theories. Characteristics of Third Bank The Third Bank in Carson, Texas is clearly lacking important characteristics of a successful organization. An important characteristic to be present in an organization is informed. Information is the life and blood of an organization. In order for them to function, information must be circulating. If some are not informed at all, the organization will have a hard time functioning (Stoner). In the case study, it is clear that the Carson branch employees are not informed and Fuller learns this quickly...

...that the results were different. VMWare at http://www.vmware.com/solutions/virtualization-management/ This company offered a clean webpage that clearly showed what they had to offer. A user has the ability to select tabs in the middle of the page to get more information. The tabs were Overview, Infrastructure and Ops, Applications, End-User applications, and IT Business Management. This allows a high level review of how their solutions work with their products including some visuals. The site is easy to navigate; however, at first glance I thought it was too wordy. The products offered by this company are overwhelming; there are so many. The products fall under many different headings, I believe the one called vCenter Operations Management Suite is the one that would do it all; however, I would definitely want to consult one of their employees to be sure.

...Organizational Effectiveness Willie jackson CJA 474 April 28, 2014 William Nelson Barnes Organizational Effectiveness Every company has a set of goals designed to lead the organization in a specific direction. To achieve these goals, managers should train employees to follow a specific path or set of rules that will lead to organizational effectiveness. The measurement of effectiveness is achieved through completion of the organization's goals. To understand organizational effectiveness in any setting, one must define it according to the goals of the organization. In a criminal justice environment, managers must apply various organizational effectiveness theories appropriately to measure the effectiveness of the department. Managers must also exert control to a certain degree in organizational settings to achieve maximum effectiveness. Once managers measure and achieve organizational effectiveness, success of the organization is almost certain. Organizational Effectiveness Defined Different definitions of organizational effectiveness exist, mainly because the effectiveness of an organization differs from company to company. Many people would define organizational effectiveness as the output or outcome of the organization and how it affects the desired results. For example, if an organization's goal is to increase sales profits, the organization may use various marketing techniques to bring in more customers to buy their product. If the result is more customers buying...

...Brodsky or, at the minimum, not give him an annual salary increase, which might have the same effect. Keller suspected that firing him would not be well received by Königsbräu’s corporate headquarters, and Brodsky’s voluntary departure might also raise questions. A second alternative was to try, once again, to help Brodsky improve his performance. The third alternative was to try to reorganize around Brodsky to compensate for his inadequacies, perhaps by splitting marketing and sales. (GABARRO, 2008) In conundrums such as the case study poses it’s important to think through the fact that managerial decisions have career implications for both the manager and subordinate. It’s important to recognize individual differences in employees and management when making hard decisions for the betterment of the workplace, no matter the circumstance. Chapter eight of the text, Business Ethics, opens with the statement: Employees have all sorts of job-related concerns. Generally speaking, they want to do well at their assignments, to get along with their colleagues, and to have their contributions to the organization recognized. Their job tasks, working conditions, and wages and the possibility of promotion are among the many things that occupy their day-to-day thoughts. Aside from the actual work that they are expected to perform, employees, being human, are naturally concerned about the way their organizations treat them. Frequently they find that treatment to be morally deficient and...
