Management and Organisation

     This is the third week of my university life, I really learned a lot  from those lectures and seminars. In the  first lecture addressed by MR. Vish, I understood that only remember the definition is not enough, and the most important thing about self-study in university is updating our thinking ability of application, analysis and evaluation. Unfortunately, in China, what I need to do is write down everything the professors asked us to memorize,and they will tell us the key point and perfect answer. So it is hard for me to do that exercise at first, but after I attended Rob's seminar, I just begin to know how to improve my skills and he encouraged me to have confidence in myself,which really helped me a lot. 

In terms of the most important aspects of organization,I think is structure.Because the efficiency of one organization can be updated dramatically if it is in a right structure,which is the main objectives of organizations,no matter it is a economic organization,a political organization or a educational organization.As what I learned from the last lecture, there are three common features in organizations, people structure and objectives. I my opinion, all the people are included in different groups of one structure ,and all of the groups in the structure have same goal. I this way the reasonable structure plays the most important roll in organizations.


When it comes the the most important aspect of management, I think is how to take good advantage of two kinds of resources(tangible resources and intangible resources) For example, the main purpose of human resource department is train and select the right people for the right thing,which helps organisations to take full advantage of tangible resource---people, and create more  value in the same period.

My first homework was two 200-word paper about management and organisation. I did not know how to start my essay ,but after seminar 3 addressed by Rob ,clearly I realized how to deal with some simple analysis and application.Our first presentation was to" choose one of the management setting and find an organisation within that setting."In our four-member group, we prepared a presentation about TESCO , we applied what we have learned in the lecture to a real supermarket case , of course not only remember the definition, we choose different part of our topic ,mission/core products/add value to its resources/organisation structure. We put interesting pictures in the prezi and list the key points of our topic, at first, we worried about five minutes were too long, but finally we found its kind of too short,we want to express more information we investigated. In our group ,we helped each other learned from each other. When we finished the presentation , Rob said well done, two simple words really means a lot to me.As an insightful saying goes"practice makes perfect"although I have a lot of difficulties to overcome, I believe that I definitely can do better in next week.
