... Business ...

Favourite Topic
My favourite topic in this subject is Topic 5, Managing Employees (part 1). This topic is all about the employee behaviour, personalities, attitudes and motivation. I found that this topic was interesting because the way that Mr Joe teaching this topic was totally different from other topics. During the lecture, we were divide into group and were ask to perform a drama / situation to explain the importance of employee personalities, attitudes and motivation in a business. We all were having fun while acting in the drama.


Least Favourite Topic
My least favourite topic in this subject is Topic 3, Business Ethics and Social Responsibility. This topic is about the areas of business ethics and social responsibility. I dislike this topic because it is a quite boring lecture and information for me. I think the topic can be more interesting if Mr Joe deliver the lecture by using the same method as he used in teaching Topic 5.


Useful Topic
The most useful topic that I have learnt is Topic 5, Managing Employees (part 1). This is because I think it was useful for me to handle my employees in the future.


Project 1
In Project 1, we were ask to do a business proposal with a group of members. My group members are William Tan, Nigel Lim and Chuah Wei Hong. In this business proposal, we have to create our business and prepare the business background, target, products and services, market analysis, competitive environment, marketing strategies, sales strategies, management strategies and so on. Our company is selling the toy cars and we have decided to name our company CAR N TOY (CNT), which is related to our name too, Chuah, Nigel and Tans. After finishing this project, I have learnt the details and procedure to start a business as well as preparing a business proposal.

Final Project
This Final Project is a big project, because we are given 10 weeks before the due date. In this project, we have to prepare for a business charity drive in group, which means we have to plan and start a business in Taylor's University during the charity week. The charity week started from 6.5.2013 to 10.5.2013. My group members were Phang June Ee, Tan Yong Ming, Yong Chang Theng and Zachery. Within the charity week, we have to earn the profit and reach the target which is RM 2000.00. All the profit is supposed to be donated to any charity organisation. We decided to sell smartphone accessories, such as cases and ear jacks, lighters and sunglasses. After a week of running business, we failed to reach the target, but at least we earn RM800 ++. We have donated all the profit to Yayasan Nanyang Press. After the week, we have to propose a report about the details of our business and hand in to Mr Joe. This project made me learnt that it is not a easy thing to run a business, and many aspects have to be considered while running a business.
