IC101:
Today: Nice job with our show & tell discussion. It was fun & interesting listening to all of your stories about your items. We need to work on being more vocal in class. I want you all to lead the discussions instead of me initiating the talks. Don't be afraid to chime in & speak up, once you do others will follow your lead.
Homework: Introduction Presentations will start on Wednesday. Even though you all will not present on Wednesday because of time, everyone should come to class prepared. If you email me your powerpoint I will have it on my computer desktop which will save us time in class. Below are some dates of upcoming events.

IC212:
Today: Good discussion on what makes a company great. I thought the points you addressed: customer service, employee satisfaction, brand loyalty, & profitability are all good points. We also discussed Chapters 1 & 2 from Drucker. The main points from these chapters to keep in mind are: 1) The evolution of management, 2) What does it mean to classify management as a "Liberal Art," 3) What is management, & 4) What is management's 3 main tasks.
Homework: Read Drucker Chapters 3 & 4 and be ready to discuss. Also, give thought to how you want to divide groups up for the group presentations project and also what you want to research this semester.
