I've finished my
research paper and presentation on Friday! In retrospect I think it was a long but
dense process of reading articles and analyses of Jeffrey Bezos and the route
he took in conducting Amazon. Other than learning about Bezos and Amazon, it
taught me a lot about the most up-to-date business management methods he put
into practice. I personally admire Bezos’ avant garde and unconventional
approach to his businesses which were very distinctive from other leaders of
enormous corporations. Perhaps his pro-innovation and optimistic character has
made him a huge figure in the field of business management. I've always thought
that as a leader with heavy responsibility and authority, being too optimistic may
deprive his/her trust from the entire group. But apparently, Bezos has proved
that relentless optimism also has positive effects by making it act as a
prompter of motivation within his organization. Moving back to the
presentation, I was really nervous because it was first presentation this term
and I forgot to mention a couple of important information that I was initially
planning to share. However, while presenting I decided to rather appear like I’m
enjoying and forget about the mistakes I made. I wasn't really confident
throughout the presentation but my friends told me I didn't look like I was
anxious so maybe having a smile is vital to have a positive feedback from the
audience. I think it makes people appear more passionate about their
presentation as well.
Before the whole
RW course started I had some interests in business management so I am sure the
contents we learned in class and the new facts I learned through my research
paper would be very helpful in my ensuing studies. We all have different topics
but they all have the common theme of leadership, which is a big concern of
business management, so I’m looking forward to the coming presentations!
Hi Takumi,
返信削除Thank you for these final posts and for all of your posts this term. It is interesting for me to hear that you are interested in management, and you seem to have a good personality for such a role, and I hope that what you learned in class will be useful for you with that and anything else you choose to pursue in the meantime.
I enjoyed having you as a student, and I wish you the very best going forward.
Ken
