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
