Management and information systems Week 1

Due to medical reasons (cracked knee) which the university was informed about I was unable to attend however I was able to recap on my  own using the lecture slides and seminar notes on the VLE. In this blog I will discuss what I was able to learn from the lecture and seminar.

Week one Lecture


The lecture based in week one was about challenges that businesses face in the 21st Century. The lecture talks about how technology has changed firms and businesses in various ways and how its created  a lot more opportunities for people and the growth of technology being beneficial to the people within the society. It also spoke about how sometimes technology can also be the failure to many businesses also due to the modern day technology. 

Week one Seminar

From the seminar notes it shows that we were separated into groups or 4 or 5 for the presentation which we will be presenting (Joined the group in week 3)

A case study was also given about YouTube talking about how Youtube first started in 2005 and how it started. it was created by two former employees of paypal.  It also  discusses the users of Youtube and how it has grown during the past few years.  Also an advantage for businesses as it allows you to advertise your business on it.
