In class today, I was surprised to find out that those kids who found a way to access the information for our Financial Aide were able to do it so easily and even almost by mistake. Does this mean that all of our information given out to corporations who use computers is completely unsafe?
Btw, I remember you asking me about my tech news report. The one about the pictures that blind people can see.
Here is the link, if you are still interested.

Class on Tuesday was the exam. I thought I was prepared for the exam but there was definitely some parts that I should have been better prepared for. The TLAs I had huge difficulty with despite writing them like 10 times but that's how it goes.
The ones question though that I got wrong and I needed some help figuring out why was the question, "If Walmart develops a system that connects with Proctor and Gamble to automate inventory functions to lower Walmart's expenses, what strategy are they implementing?"
I put that this was Cost Leadership.
The reason that I chose cost leadership was because in the power point notes I remember there being a point about if a company works with its subsidiary to help lower prices than that makes it Cost Leadership.
This being said, I know why it can also be Alliance. Is there anyway, you can clear up my misunderstanding?
Thank you,
Courtney

Class was very helpful for knowing what to expect on the exam, which will help me to prepare efficiently for it on Tuesday. I'm mostly worried about remembering all of the TLAs. There are just so many and it will definitely take some time to memorize all of them. I will feel like a regular computer geek by the end of this class.
I was wondering though its been awhile since I have seen a floppy disk, are they still even used?

Class was rather tedious today but still full of vital information. I really enjoyed the show and tell of the motherboard since I have never seen one.
One of the things that I cant stand though is how many freakin acronyms there are! It is like a whole other language that I have to learn. The information is very helpful and important though for helping me understand computer speak.

Today, class was full of an abundance of information, a little overwhelming actually...
One of the points though that I have heard a lot about in my time of studying business is the competitive strategies but one that I had not yet heard of was the alliance strategy. This strategy is interesting because I didnt realise the significance of alliances in competitor strategies so I thought that was important to learn. Also I thought the percentage on BPR was important to know since like the professor had mentioned in class, BPR only works with its employees 10% of the time. The way to get that 10% is to explain security for the employees and make them feel more comfortable with the transition into a more efficent company environment.
This class was a little too overwhelming but I did take a lot a way from it.
So thank you :)
