The most important takeaway for me is that I should take a systems management approach to the decisions I make in my personal and professional lives. This course reminds me of the so called “butterfly effect,” […]

I also carry two smartphones; a Samsung Galaxy Droid for work and an iPhone 4S for personal use. I find it helpful to separate out my work and personal smartphone use. Work pays for the Droid. I pay for the […]

Regarding item 2, I don’t believe there is a one size fits all answer where the agile or waterfall project management approaches is inherently better than the other. In my department, we do not do so well with the […]

Netflix had a lot of customers who were elephants. I am a Netflix customer, but I am subscribed only to their streaming video service, so this change would not have effected me. I agree with Netflix’s view that […]

Oh, as far as estimating the time a project I am working on takes, due to the nature of the work I do, which is much more operational in nature than project-based, I always qualify my estimates with “provided I am […]

I don’t recall ever being asked to determine the “critical path” to get something done at work. On the other hand, I do sometimes have to get cost estimates for budgetary purposes. When I need to get an estimate […]

In making a good decision regarding project selection, I think the most important factor is knowing as much about the contexts of each competing project, both qualitatively and quantitatively. One cannot use only […]

I think the most important common mistake to avoid in the “14 Common Mistakes” article is the second one, not having an experienced project manager involved. The other 13 mistakes can be avoided, or at least some […]

Greetings everyone, I noticed a disparaging news report about CVS today. Apparantly, a CVS store in NJ dispensed breast cancer pills to children who were supposed to receive fluoride tablets. It seems as though […]

Stanley R. Horwitz commented on the post, Disruptive Tech? New Camera – Shoot Now, Focus Later, on the site MIS5102 – Process Improvement and Innovation 1 year, 2 months ago
Martin,
The irony is that Kodak pioneered the digital camera processing chip (aka., digital film), yet Kodak didn’t capitalize on its patent, and instead licensed it for a song to its competitors (i.e., Nikon, […]

As a long-time photographer, the Lytro caught my eye when I saw it at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last January. The Lytro has the potential to disrupt the digital camera industry in a big way. I do […]

The most important takeaway for me in Barbara’s presentation is that an ERP system is much less about technology and much more about systems and process analysis and effective human resource deployment. Tien […]

The linked article is a wonderful example of an emerging technology that might be extremely disruptive to our food chain. This article is about man made beef and it specifically mentions that it might disrupt the […]

The Watson project has many similarities with other IT projects, but it also has some unique aspects. The overall path of the project from its inception to completion is similar to most other IT projects, where […]

Here is an off color ad ( it contains profanity) that makes me laugh every time I see it, but also touches on the point we discussed in class regarding undershot consumers.

If ever there is an example of a company undershooting its customers, Kodak is it. Kodak really missed the boat on the digital photography business, which is ironic considering that Kodak invented digital film. As […]

My suggestion for curbside pickup service via a SmartPhone app has the benefit of not needing to do physical modifications to Wawa’s stores, as opposed to drive-thru service. Drive-thru service would be a nice […]

Wawa should offer curbside service. Curbside service avoids having little kids run around the store, interfere with customers and reduces the risk of accidents. Customers with little kids in their car can […]
