Samsung SUR40 a Microsoft Surface Device

The Samsung SUR40 is a table surface that is just about equal to a touch screen computer. With how fast technology expands from day to day I feel like this type of technology will slowly be brought into the business world. I can easily envision this type of technology in conference rooms and even helpful to specific types of merchandising.

SAP Distribution Game

       At the end of the SAP distribution game my team came in last! Reasons for this could have been because the very first day our biggest concern was making our inventory move which meant lowering the prices ending with very little revenue considering every buyer was getting a great deal! After understanding the game more and seeing how very wrong our approach was we came up with a new game plan. The second day we upped our prices and let off on our marketing and ended up still in last because of a technical incident of ordering more inventory. We ended with full inventory and not much profit since we ran out of days. That order made our profit even less and our expenses became very high. After running into numerous obstacles I learned that profit is not the only thing to consider while being in business that a game plan is very much useful and needed! During the exercise our communication was very well executed but our understanding of the program was terrible so that hurt us pretty bad. After seeing our statistics we saw that we could have marketed less and held our inventory at a higher price. This game taught me that planning is very much needed when in any business and you should utilize each of the data reports to help determine your actions in business.

Social Media

After reading this article I completely agree with Apples decision. An employee should know the rules set by their boss and obey those rules while working there. If the employer makes it clear to you that "commentary on Apple products, or critical remarks about the brand, were strictly prohibited.” Therefore, they had every right to fire that employee. If I was an employee I would be completely understanding with the rules and if I was unable to follow the rules either expect to be fired or find another job. I personally do not use Facebook often and when I do I know that whatever I post is my responsibility and although it may say your post is "private" you are completely at fault since in the world of Internet nothing is only your private information. If I was an employer I would make it clear to my employees that I do not accept any negative comments or slandering of my business and immediate termination would be put in force.
