At the very end of the semester, our group realized and it was made more clear that organizations have dependence on each other. Manny and Alex's coincidence of not knowing they worked together to transport and host athletes was a real-life example we stumbled upon.

This is an link to a website called "Today I Found Out". There are news articles and podcast's with facts that you may not know about some organizations and businesses 

This video draws attention because Google is connecting themselves with the values of relationship; an excellent marketing strategy done by Google. 

The interview, though, focuses on how they were trying to turn the company around by expanding into Africa. 

Interesting look at the inside reactions of the executives of Domino's Pizza when hearing the negative feedback. Shows their true values and dedication to their pizza. I believe being so passionate has helped them turn around and incline their business. 

This story we saw demonstrates the dependence of organizations on other organizations. Alex drove the athletes from their hotel to Manny who then helped with their dinner. In this case, the Westin Hotel and P.F.Changs had to communicate and connect in order to successfully operate.

My supervisors at work communicate to their employees by mainly texting. It's definitely easy and we communicate instantly. I've seen some employees treat our supervisors, though, like less of a supervisor and more like a friend. That's okay at some times, but when our supervisor needed them to be serious, they didn't catch on.

Recently at my work, we got a new printer. The old printer would jam paper constantly, not turn on or connect to the computer. It slowed down efficiency and made the employees frustrated. We were also wasting resources by not being able to use the crumbled up, jammed paper. Once we got a new printer, there was less work-place tension. Although such a small piece of equipment it showed how dependent we were on it and that change can eliminate inefficiency and frustration. 

This reflects our class group project because everyone has an assigned role. I think if we didn't have assigned roles then it would be a lot harder to organize and be efficient!
