Done with presentation and research paper!

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!

  1. Hi Takumi,

    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
