Thank you for posting this article. I also believe that prototype is one of the important key tool of design thinkers. I think the reason for prototyping is experimentation, it is because of the act of creating forces you to ask questions and make choices. It also gives you something you can show to and talk about with other people. Once we make…[Read more]

I think a risk of integrative thinking could be that it could take longer for decisions to be made because you are looking at several different perspectives and asking questions to gain a better understanding. I found this post very interesting, but I cannot think of any integrative business models that flopped. However, I’m sure as more and…[Read more]

We read the case about the globalization of Wyeth in 2008. By the late ’90s, Wyeth had embarked on a strategy to transform its information technology. And following with the many assumptions, in 2005, Wyeth was well on its way to becoming a globally integrated firm, and that IT was an enabler in implementing that vision. However, Wyeth was purchased by Pfizer, the world’s largest drug maker, in 2009 and on the Dec 01, 2014 that Pfizer announces completion of merger with Wyeth. In 2009, Pfizer agrees to pay $68 billion for rival drug maker Wyeth and they are slowly appears to be taking advantage of buy Wyeth at a lower price. In 2014, Pfizer had received approvals from the Bombay High Court earlier and today filed the order with the Registrar of Companies to conclude the merger process, Pfizer Ltd said in a statement. This is going to help all employees of Wyeth limited are also now a part of Pfizer Ltd, and every transaction that Wyeth makes will be part of Pfizer’s business process. The completion of two companies merging is going to impact on Wyeth’s IT infrastructure and all the data that Wyeth has will be transform into Pfizer’s systems.
Do you think that it is a great idea that Pfizer merger with Wyeth?
What would be your assumption that is going to happen with Wyeth in next few years?

In last class, we have briefly mentioned about IBM as a one of the successful transformation companies and they are now is one of the top Global Service Provider. IBM is the world’s largest business and technology services provider and they have over 190,000 people across more than 160 countries. They started IBM Global Services started in the spring of 1991, with the aim towards helping companies manage their IT operations and resources. However, in the past few weeks, IBM did not so good on managing companies such as 110,000 job cuts or about 26 percent of total headcount. IBM announced that there would be $600 million restructuring charge and this would cover a layoff of about 8,000 people. We all know that IBM is competing with HP, Oracle and Microsoft, but sweeping layoffs are such a bad move for IBM. They must know that what must be innovate for them to move on to the next step. If IBM wants to develop more into the cloud system, I think IBM should merge and have a good relationship into other competitors rather than focusing only on internal management.
So, what should be the next move for IBM? Do you think it is a good idea of cutting own employees to raise its own restructuring charge?

I am not really sure if social networking sites necessarily improve people’s lives, but I think social networking enhances entertainment experiences like the Super Bowl. From the looks of the article it appears that Facebook is essentially creating a hub for anyone who wants to talk about the Super Bowl. This enhances the experience of watching the game because you can share your thoughts with people who have the same interest as you. Because of this reason, I think social networking enhances entertainment experiences.

I really liked this article and agree that it will be helpful to all of us when it comes time to give our final presentations. I can’t remember the last time I did not have a PowerPoint presentation in a class and I’m sure they will continue to be relevant throughout our careers. I believe that we should keep all of these aspects in mind when designing a PowerPoint. In this article I think the most important design element is having as little words as possible, so you do not distract the audience. When creating and presenting a PowerPoint I think the most important thing to recognize is who your audience is. As a presenter you will often know beforehand who your audience is and in that instance you should create the slides to fit the needs of the audience. Are they subject matter experts or do they know nothing about what you are presenting? Depending on the answer to this question will really help with the design process and actually presenting the PowerPoint. I think that understanding your audience and catering your presentation to them will make the other ten suggestions even more effective.
Joon-Yong, thanks for the article. I think no matter how many times we do a formal presentation, it never hurts to see a list of things we should be focusing on. There are several things one should never do when presenting. Looking at the ground, speaking softly, and reading directly from your slides are probably at the top of the list. I like how the list you provided includes things to incorporate that make the presentation well-rounded, not just technically correct. Things like having a hook and “breaking the rules” are great ideas. I think these all tie in with making your presentation stand out and make it more likely that the viewer will remember your presentation over others.
Thanks for posting about effective presentation. As Fox student, we all had to go through plenty of presentation in front of a large group. I had several good and bad experience presenting and the listed tips are very powerful tips. I also want to add some more tips for effective presentation based on my experiences. First and most importantly, be confidence. I always try to think that audiences are my close friend so I can be more confident in presenting. Also, practicing is another key point.
