...Learning Journal Week 4 Learning Summary- Social Media in Our Life Recently, the fact that social media affect people’s everyday life more deeply has been brought into our focus. With the booming of smart phone, more people delay on the social media to communication with friends, reading the news and even buying goods or foods. In everyday morning, the first thing for most of people is updating the news in social media. Caring about what happened last night, the fresh news in the morning and recording the feelings at this moment. Siapera given an umbrella term for social media that social media is an integrate technology, social interaction and user-generated content. And he also identify three main characteristics of social media which are allowing users to create, downloading and sharing content, to publish their profile and personal information, and to connect with others. (Siapera,2012). The rapidly development of social media have both advantages and shortcomings, there is no doubt that social media makes people communicate more convenient and can make more friends in this way and also keep a close connected with old friends. However, the weakness is the face-to-face communication will be reducing and excessive delay on the social media will influence the normal daily life. In this week, I recognized several overviews of the social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn… and understood how to use designated computer software and the basic principles of...

...million injuries, and 90,000 deaths are attributable to medical errors annually. Something like 5% of hospital patients have adverse reactions to drugs, another study reports, and of those, 43% are serious, life threatening, or fatal. Many knowledge workers have problems similar to Dr. Goldszer's (though they're usually less life threatening). No matter what the field, many people simply can't keep up with all they need to know. In the early years of knowledge management, companies established knowledge networks and communities of practice, built knowledge repositories, and attempted to motivate people to share knowledge. But each of these activities involved a great deal of additional labor for knowledge workers. A better approach, say the authors, is to bake specialized knowledge into the jobs of highly skilled workers. Partners HealthCare has started to embed knowledge into the technology that doctor’s use in their jobs so that consulting it is no longer a separate activity. Now when Dr. Goldszer orders medicine or a lab test, the order-entry system automatically checks his decision against a massive clinical database as well as the patient's own medical record. Knowledge workers in other fields could likewise benefit from a just-in-time knowledge-management system tailored to deliver the right supporting information for the job at hand. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how continuous learning professionals can utilize the...

...organizations are just like any other aspect in business. They have moving parts. Business is like a well-oiled machine with moving parts that create the final product. It is necessary for all the parts to be in good shape and working effectively. Without all six key systems in markets and organizations flowing smoothly and properly a business or business system cannot function properly as a “well-oiled machine”. Results can be quite dramatic based on the effectiveness and functionality of these six key systems; when one of the systems is off it affects the rest of the markets and organizations around it. On the other hand, when all six of these systems are working in sync and effectively, societies can flourish and advance in knowledge on a personal and organizational level. Division of Labor and the Mission System It is amazing sometimes to think why certain people have certain jobs and why those jobs are in the field they are in. Why is it necessary to have a CFO, CEO, manager, cashier, or even a custodian? The answer is simply, the division of labor. Just like the key systems as a whole, the division of labor is much like a machine with moving parts. People become employees, employees divide the labor, the labor results in a product or service, which subsequently results in value or profit. By dividing labor, each person within that project or business now has a role in the production and value of their service...

...that management is both art and science is a truism and a kind of short hand. That is to say, a lot of people say it, and it is commonly held to be true, and it serves as a way of indicating a rather complex reality involving management. A science has known laws. It works with facts and reason and produces—when it gets to application via technology—dependable results. By contrast, art is highly personal and subjective. It works with emotions and the interplay between individuals and communities. Managers must do both: produce reliable results and deal with emotional humans. sruthi19 | Student, Undergraduate | eNotes Newbie Posted July 29, 2011 at 9:05 PM (Answer #6) dislike1like since art is concerned with personal application of knowledge some kind of ingenuity and creativity is required to practise the basic principles. it is said to be art because: 1) A successful manager practise the art of management in the day-to-day job of managing an enterprise based on study observation and experience. 2) There are various theories of management as propounded by many management thinkers, which prescribe certain universal priniciples. science is a systematised body of...

...Outstanding Student Paul Brown (MW or TR) Summary and Response due date This is a Sample Summary and Response In his article "Making the Grade," Kurt Wiesenfeld presents a problem regarding the ethical value of grades in modern society. A physics professor, Wiesenfeld opens the article by making the "rookie error" of being in his "office the day after final grades were posted." (paragraph 1) Several students then attempt to influence him to change their grades for the class. What concerns Wiesenfeld is that many of his more recent students consider a grade to be a negotiable commodity rather than accept the grade as an accurate representation of efforts and performance and how much they learned. The author indicates that part of this problem is "a society saturated with surface values" but that the students are responsible for the real problem: taking their academic work seriously. (paragraph 8) The reason is that the rest of society will have to take the work "seriously later, when the stakes are much higher." (paragraph 9) Wiesenfeld also points out a problem of quality control as he refers to a colleague who pointed out that it would be possible for a physics major to get a degree without ever answering a single exam question completely. This is possible by achieving enough partial credit and completing extra credit assignments and getting a break on the final class grade. The author uses examples from his field (science and engineering) to demonstrate the real consequences...
