Learning Tools and Gadgets

Question:

Discuss about the Designing and Implementing Paperless.

The process of learning has become one of the most joyful and worthwhile experience. The learning programs and the information mastery has been useful in my learning life and will be of great help in my career life and my life generally.  This reflective journal focuses on the learning experience to assess what we have learned from the challenges faced in efforts to overcome business challenges. The learning process is featured concerning what worked well or what did not work well as a learner. Some of the learning aspects were so welcomed in my learning experience while others still need to be rectified for better achievement of results. In the field of commerce that is closely related to the business world, I have been able to interact, learn, and gain new experiences on how to handle business challenges. My desire to become a successful business person, driven by the virtue of entrepreneurship has kept me moving and always focussed to learning new experiences on how to venture in new innovative businesses. This article explains the importance of the learning experiences I have gained while in the coursework and interactions from the successful business people in the business world.

The current advancement in technology has necessitated numerous alterations in the learning process which requires one to be on the know-how of the computer so as to develop the necessary learning skills. This is made possible by having the required tools such as the tablets and the laptops which help in keeping one updated and enhances the learning process (Hesser & Schwartz, 2013). By the end of the learning process, I was able to concentrate on a certain subject for quite long hours than before with a focused mind to understand the content unlike before whereby I could not withstand staring at a book or reading material for more than an hour. I realized the importance of the learning gadgets which include the laptops and that they are not only meant for entertainment but for enhancing the learning process.

A good learning experience, especially in this dynamic world of technology, can be a great and wonderful experience since it can create engaging, relevant, and notable educational experiences which address certain challenges faced by the learners. The learning experience is beneficial especially to people who would want to get involved in business transactions since the trend is ever-changing and this helps one to become accustomed to the business world dynamics without a struggle (Kao et al, 2014). The learning experience also helps one to widen their minds in terms of business dealings hence able to identify the emerging opportunities to venture into. Thus, the learning experience should be improved and make it more effective.

Enhancing Understanding of Business Dynamics

The learning experience has great value in a person’s life generally. Firstly, it ensures that one is fully-equipped with the current trends in the world. One cannot engage in a business that they are not aware of the dynamics involved in the kind of business they would want to venture into (Johnson et al, 2012). Again, the learning experience enables one to evaluate the kinds of businesses that are easy to carry out and the requirements needed thereof. One is able to assess the type of risks each business is prone to and the amount of capital required to start a certain business. The learning experience exposes one to many kinds of people such that it becomes easy to transact a business with all types of people with different backgrounds.

The learning experience enables one to choose a course wisely based on their talents and areas of interest. As one develops a learning experience, he or she is able to identify the kind of course which they can fit better and put their whole efforts towards improving on those areas and leave alone those that they are not talented in (Ellaway et al, 2014). The relevance of the course is determined by the learning experience in such a course.  This will help one to choose a course which they feel will benefit them the most and which their passion is directed to and this guarantees good performance in such a course.

It helps one to prioritize their time and activities wisely. The setting of priorities are important aspects of learning which enables one to attend first to the important things and give significant attention to them to avoid unnecessary mistakes. The proper scheduling of events with their appropriate time is significant towards the success of all my ambitions to become a successful business person and a decision maker in matters that require prompt action. Working without any set or established priorities leads to the creation of conflicts and the establishment of petty mistakes that leads to business failure. My ability to make the right priorities and assign the correct time would help me become the best decision maker in my commerce profession.

The learning experience is a good determinant of the kind of career one is likely to engage in future. Through learning, one is able to discover their talents and abilities to perform in a certain area and this guides the type of career to choose.  The areas of interests are vital since one realizes that there are some areas which they can perform better than others (Shek et al, 2015). This helps to eliminate those that are difficult to understand or are of less interest. It also helps to identify the areas which may need to be improved in future.

Identifying Business Opportunities

During the learning process, I was exposed to various lifestyles, languages, and cultures which played as an adventure kind of life. Thus, transacting business with various people and business environment was somehow enhanced. Having a wide range of knowledge and information is useful in the organization as the ability to solve critical issues is advanced.

During the learning process, I interacted with many people from different backgrounds and this will help me to adapt to new challenges and environments. I read about how to set both short and long-term goals and the merits of each. I heard of the various business expositions and seminars and the advantages of attending them.  My objective of learning commerce principles is assisting me realise and exploit my full potential of the dream to become a successful business manager.

Venturing into a business is a wise idea and a good way to build one’s career. However, it requires one to first have the idea and be focused on evaluating the potential risks and benefits of running a certain business. It is also important to scrutinize the market structure and understand the potential competitors.  My learning experiences can be viewed as a success, and not a failure. This is because I have been properly equipped with the right skills to scrutinize the underlying challenges that face a company and come up with amicable solutions regarding the problems.

Doing a research on the market structure was a critical assignment since it is the determinant of any business success. Identifying the best business types and how they are run and the possible outcomes of the business was an important activity so as to assess whether to venture into such a business or not.  Therefore, doing the activities in task one and two was designed to equip me with the right skills to solve business challenges, understand business trends and needs, and understand which business venture is right to invest by a business person.

The learning will be useful in my career life. Having interacted with various people and cultures, I will be able to transact business without fear as it will be easy to analyse the business situations. I will also be able to consult business experts in any particular area of interest to expand my business ideas. Generally, the learning experience has enlarged my mind hence built both my personal and career life. Learning helps people both professionally in in their personal lives. I would apply my learning experiences in the creation and innovation of new business ideas that would thrive in the economy. Further, I would apply my learning experiences of conflict resolution approaches in the resolving of wrangles among any conflicting parties in the work place. Looking forward to become a family person, understanding the importance of tolerance and the facts that people show differences in their approaches to different matters, I would be tolerant and always understanding so as to bring peace in the family. Furthermore, learning the principles of conducting business and ensuring that it thrives would be helpful to me when applying such principles into practice. This practice would involve the laying down policies that protect the rights of everyone in the industry as well as ensuring that all the identified opportunities in the minimum risks and costs as possible.
