Lecture:
In todays lecture we spoke about relational databases and cloud computing, We didn't finish off all the slides as someone came in as an international speaker. However the lecture was about database management systems which is a software programme that lets you create a database and manipulate data in them, we also spoke about creating a datasheet view in a table. Thereafter the international speaker came in so we had spoke about that.
Seminar:
In todays seminar we learnt something new which was getting started with access 2010, We had to understand relational databases. And what the advantages of using access database I. We were given a sheet with an introduction to access 2010 which we had to read and thereafter create the database, Firstly we created a table and then had to insert primary keys. After this we learnt about how to compare two tables and edit the data within the tables. This was a lot more challenging than excel a lot more harder as it was the first time using it however once you get used to it, it became pretty easy to use. I learnt something new today to help me enhance my IT knowledge however it is something which I did struggle on. After completing this task we got into our groups and practiced our presentation slides which is due next week, Thereafter we did our blog.

Management information systems Week 7
Week 7:
Lecture:
In todays lecture we spoke about enhancing business intelligence Using information systems, Firstly we spoke about the threats and opportunities about organisations need in business intelligence and a few were things such as global threats or wider choices for consumers etc. We spoke about data base and business intelligence also and what the advantages of these are. Finally the last few slides consisted of Decision support systems (DSS) and expert systems. The lecture was pretty hard however was well explained.
Seminar:
In todays seminar we started off by continuing on doing some work on excel. First we started off by doing some work regarding scenarios in excel which was pretty straight forward and easy to understand. Thereafter we did another exercise on pivot tables which again was pretty straight forward to understand using the exercise sheet. After completing the excel sheets we got into our groups to discuss the presentation and powerpoint slides. Unfortunately two group members were missing so therefore we were not able to discuss thoroughly. In the seminar we learnt a lot in the sense of what pivot tables and scenarios are useful for especially with things such as accounting or money borrowed etc. The seminar was helpful in terms of helping us enhance our excel skills further and learning more on how to use excel. Finally we finished the lecture off by doing our blogs.

Week 6:
Lecture:
In todays lecture we spoke about organisational effectiveness using enterprise information systems. We learnt a lot about how organisational skills work and how we can adapt that into information systems, to end the lecture we spoke about the presentation that is due, and we were told we have to create a powerpoint presentation. The lecture was pretty interesting however I did go a bit off course with my concentration towards the end.
Seminar:
In todays seminar we had continued doing the Vlookup and If solutions using Excel, we were given three questions to complete in Excel and had to use the Vlookup and if equations in order to complete the questions, I have become pretty good at using these formulas after having a lot of practice at it and it has enhanced my knowledge on these formulas. To end the seminar we got into groups for a few minutes to discuss the video presentation that we will be doing, Finally to end the seminar we did our blog!

Management and informations systems week 5
Week 5:
Lecture:
In todays lecture we spoke about managers leaders and followers, The first thing we spoke about was managers vs leaders and what the difference is between the both, we also spoke about the different skills that both managers and leaders have. Thereafter we spoke about the theories people such as Henry Mintzberg and John Kotter on managers vs leaders and what there thoughts were. There after we spoke about the trait theory and what the key traits were of managers and leaders. I learnt a lot in this lecture regarding what the difference between leaders managers and followers are and the behavioural skills of each such as managers may not be motivated where as leaders dictate more and try to motivate.
Seminar:
During the seminar today we spoke about the coursework and the business idea, firstly we went over the business concept again and what the business is about, there after we formed into our groups to decide what problems we will tackle as a group and find solutions for them. Within our group as there is 5 of us we picked one challenge each which we thought would be most suitable for us and did research regarding that point and find solutions and then next week discuss it within our group. The seminar was a challenge in order to perfect our coursework and achieve the best result possible. To finish off the seminar we ended it by writing our blog
