In my opinion, good websites tend to stand out, have large-scale customer bases, and can be trusted. On the other hand, a bad website can consist of a non-trustworthy site, and selling products that are poor quality. To go more into depth excellent websites act as digital brand advocates, fusing design and function to provide an unmatched user experience. They welcome guests with simple layouts that lead them with ease through an eye-catching trip. Accessibility across devices is ensured by well-positioned calls-to-action, responsive design, and clear navigation, meeting the varied needs of contemporary users. Similar to Amazon, a model website that I chose as my example, the website is easy to use, the products are of the highest quality, and it is extremely user-friendly.   Bad websites, on the other hand, are like digital wilderness, where frustration and uncertaint...

 Emily Nelson 04/11/24 A very interesting area of technology that would be highly relevant for review concerning issues of business management would be the increasing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in organizational decision-making. AI algorithms today are widely used in processing big volumes of data when making predictions or giving recommendations. This serves strategic planning, distribution of resources, or estimation of risks by managers. Understanding exactly how AI works and what it entails as far as changing the way decisions are made in an organization is an important aspect of studying business management as a major. Leaders should therefore understand the organizational, workforce, and ethical dimensions of AI, besides its technical underpinnings. Perhaps most importantly, blockchain technology has massively disrupted traditional business models in fields such as finance, management of supply chains, and cybersecurity. The Business Management majors need to be acq...

Emily Nelson 03/26/24 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU655jcNxKA Instagram has been around since 2010 and is still being used to this day as a social media platform that connects people. As well as being a form of how you express yourself with your own posts. Instagram is a user-friendly platform and as long as you respect the guidelines and do not post anything problematic Instagram is an amazing outlet. It is also a great tool for not only personal use but for the business world as well. Social media marketing from all platforms cut companies' marketing budgets in half therefore saving for revenue that can later be distributed throughout the company. This is a key fact that helped get the ball rolling for Instagram to take things a step forward.  Instagram allows businesses to run stores through their platform making it easy to reach customers because all they have to do is go on Instagram and tap a post that is linked to a shop on that person's account. Making the entire sh...

 Emily Nelson Social Media Etiquette - Instagram Matt Rife example How to carry yourself in an online environment is very important, social media etiquette should be a staple in everyone's online presence. Instagram like most other platforms has community guidelines which consist of  “Intellectual property, appropriate imagery, spam, illegal content, hate speech/bullying and abuse, self-injury, and graphic violence”. These things are prohibited on the app of Instagram for a reason and all of the things listed above are problematic and harmful. We should make social media a safe and inclusive place for everyone. Social media etiquette should be known and abided by all because there is nothing worse than an ignorant person on social media. The golden rule should always be followed when using social media, and speak to others in a way you wish to be spoken to, trolling is not ok and it is a form of cyberbullying. Never post anything harmful, offensive, illegal, etc.. Also if...

 Chapter 4 Blog  02/29/24 The importance of networking and collaboration is the key takeaway from this chapter because, in any field of work, you have to have networking skills to build yourself and the company you work for. Networking and people skills also go hand because if you can't talk to people you can't accomplish much, networking as a whole is meant to be a social thing and to show people how you can flourish in that environment. Even before having a job networking is what gets you a job in the first place. Collaborations are a great way to get your name and image out there, especially in connected learning communities. One of the most common ways to help build and grow a connected learning community is through networking and collaboration, it's easy cheap, and definitely helps do things efficiently. Nowadays it's quite easy to network because of all the outlets such as Linked In or social media but in past years these things weren't accessible or offered ...
