Wrap Up
Everyone gets something out of the classes they take each semester. Therefore, this entry will be dedicated to talking about one of the lessons I learned because I took MGMT 250. Out of the several points I took away from the course, I feel that one of them is extremely important and can be used in the course of my daily life as well as my future career. This point is that there is no set way to do something or achieve a desired result. What works for one person will not necessarily work for another nor will what works under one set of circumstances necessarily work under a different set of circumstances. Just like there was no set formula in the HR Simulation that said doing “A” will cause “B”, reality is not based on a formula. This situation is why there are several ways to motivate people, to appraise their performance, and to train people. It is also why we had several different forms of classes ranging from lectures to small group discussions. In my opinion, the ability to recognize this and act accordingly is a very important part of decision making and problem solving.

I agree that this class scratched the surface on all the different variables that affect worker happiness and things that keeps companies out of trouble. It shed light on how hiring or firing someone can be so complex and unforeseen consequences.
