Key Takeaways

After writing the previous posts, this one serves as a summary of everything that I as both a manager and an organization deem extremely valuable. Combining the ideas of environment, culture, ethics, and social responsibility, it is important to consider that each manager will have varying stances on each of these topics, and so the points from each of these that I value are unique. With the environment, I know that I need to take into account what is going on in the world, and not just within my organization's base country. With a globalized world, I must stay up to date with everything going on from the economies to these nations, to political actions and affairs being taken. Along with the note on globalization, the culture of the organization will also play a key part of how the overall organization succeeds. With varying people from diverse backgrounds, it is important to listen to the ideas of everyone. Along with listening to others, I need to set an example as an ethically moral manager. This will be important when it comes to making decisions that may have choices in the gray area. With social responsibility, I believe it is great for the organization to support the community through both charitable actions and volunteering with different groups. With all of these blog postings, I have attempted to share what my learnings from my Fundamentals of Management class mean to me and how they can apply in my life.
