The past six weeks in Introduction to Management, have been a fusion of fire and ice.  There have been good and bad times.  Although I do feel it is good to be overall familiar with some of the terminology used in this class, I do feel as if it was more of a guide to a human resources class versus and restaurant management class--which I feel would be more beneficial in our case.

            I do feel it is rather monotonous and somewhat unnecessary knowing the word definitions to things like humanistic management, or what TQM means.  Are these things important when it comes to demonstrating them in the work force... yes.  I do not necessarily agree that we should be learning all of the human resources based terminology for the field we are going in; I do not think that these key terms necessarily relating to what is on the need to know information, and should possibly be saved for the Human Resources Course in the bachelors program.

            However, I do feel that it was imperative learning about diversity, and seeing how a business like McDonalds in Russia could start from just a plain of land. I agree we need to know the laws when it comes to labor, and how discrimination can be argued.  Overall, I thought the class was useful, but maybe should consider some reconstruction of the class to benefit those in the culinary industry more so than it does at this point.
