What are the skills that were required to get the Entrepreneurship Day and Business Plan sorted out.
communication skill, Interpersonal skills, and Thinking and Problem-solving skills. I would say these are the three important skills need to to have successful business as well as in this case for me and my group to do the assignment. having a proper communication is the most important part. miss communication can end up in major problems for which it could affect the whole group. also communication is important to know what is going on and to also assign work and keep track on them. fro all of this action communication is important. Managing one self is important because it depend on how well he/she can do the work more effectively and quickly. managing one self includes time management and as well as daily work management. should be able to identify the best and effective ways to do all the given work in the given time frame, and also do a good job. the final skill which is Thinking and Problem solving skill is to identify what has gone wrong or, when there is some problem in the group, how to solve without hurting other group member. this is also an important skill for feature if we are working in a guest relation department or marketing. but most important for people who are to open their own business. after the Entrepreneurship day i was able to fully grasp the above mention skill and was able to apply on that day. since i own my own establishment this skills would be useful to me.
What is the most challenging or best part of working in a group?
I would say the most challenging part was giving my own opinion or ideas. Because some time they tend to ignore me when i talk or give an idea. ans some time they speak on their own language which is Chinese and i have to ask then to repeat it in English. But the best part was to know how to do the business plan. For which i did not have an idea on how to do and also i enjoyed working with them on the day of when we were told to set up our own business. Even though they some time did not take my ideas they were friendly and used my ideas on other sections such as when doing the business plan i was able to implement my idea in the marketing section.
How did I feel about being the leader or an ordinary group member?
As an ordinary member it was fun working as a team. though we had head of the department and tam leader we still worked as Equal and was treated fairly which was a good experience for me.
Could I do things differently
In my perspective i would say yes. i could have done more on the designing the poster and also having a slogan for the business. Assign a job for every one so every one will feel that all of the group members were working, and all will have a good experience.
What was the difference when working with course mate from different background
Was able to understand how they think, the methods of communication, and also their perspective.it was fun working with them, which gave me a good experience on how to communicant with them, what kind of methods i should use to make them understand my opinion and also their way of thinking. Because most of us were from different background and we all have our way of thinking and doing things, also attitudes. This was good opportunity for me to understand and study also have a working experience with people who are having various perspectives this will help me in feature to identify the best way to interact and communicate with people from similar background. so that we will not have any miss communication or bad ideas of others.
Which part of this assignment did I do very well and not very well?Why?
I did the Marketing part and also the Human Resources. i was able to do these because i had a good knowledge on this subjects also working experience in these departments I was mainly able to help my friends with the marketing part because i my self is interested in marketing and i tend to read book, blogs and articles on marketing.Such as method, trends and ideas. Also i plan to have my job on the marketing department and also i enjoy working in the marketing section. This is the department where we get to interact with guest and also travel around. We also get to know about the new trends of business and can learn about different kind of culture, backgrounds and ideas.
What skills do I need to improve?
I would say i need to brush up my communication skill for which to express my idea in a effective way. Because i tend to elaborate a lot which makes the person listing a bit bored. also interpersonal skill, because i tend to lost track in the work i do. I feel that these are the most important skills for my feature job. And if i have to be successful in my feature and to succeed my dreams for feature.
These skills are not only for my i feel that every student like me should have these skills and should improve them accordingly.
