Week 7 - MBA 6101 - Ascend Your Start-Up

 This chapter focused on cultural collaboration. This reminds me of the team my director and I are building. We want a dynamic team from different backgrounds because we care for patients of different backgrounds. To see if applicants are a good fit, we ask a series of questions based on themes: conflict, feedback, diversity, equity, and inclusion. 


When I ask for the definition of each term; diversity, equity, and inclusion, I have an understanding of their values and how they see patients. Then I ask what it means to them in their practice. The nurses that understand this can give heart to heart examples of going the extra step in providing care for patients. For example, in a recent interview a nurse described how the Koran is sacred to Muslims. When she found an item on top of it, she immediately removed it. By respecting the patient and families wishes shows her compassion of care and cultural collaboration.

Week 7 - MBA 6101 - AI Text

The article discusses the use of AI writing text through key word searches. It is interesting because the article argues AI could and may be the future of writing as it evolves. AI could lead the future in marketing but it may not. I just finished reading the book, Tipping Point . In the book the author, Malcolm Gladwell, discusses the spread of an idea or disease in how it is kept stable until it reaches a tipping point and spreads to more people and continues to spread.  Although online advertisement is effective now, will it be as effective in five years. The book discusses the importance of network connection such as a phone. The first phone is connected to nobody but as more and more phones are connected the value increases. Telemarketing became popular because of the rise in phones. Over the years the effectiveness of telemarketing has decreased as people block calls. As AI predict and advertise to recently purchased items or key words in searches, people may block the online...

Week 7 - MBA 6101 - Surfing the Tsunami

This chapter focuses on AI and the community that is learning how to build AI. It is important to learn, adopt, and becoming adept in AI but also being part of the community to make it happen is important as well. By learning together AI can be created to achieve magnificent goals and achievements. A scientist does not discover new knowledge alone but rather has a team taht works together to gain knowledge. By doing so it enhances the learning and the wealth of knowledge is shared. Just like in in science, the AI community needs to share what they learn to enhance AI interface. One of the biggest problems that i can see is the lack of a workforce to do strenuous jobs taht require physical labor such as moving packages. If an AI could be developed and made to figure the most effective route and move items more efficiently, it could replace human labor. Those jobs may be lost but it creates new jobs in AI maintenance, development, and repair. By working as a community, robots with AI cou...

Week 8 - MBA 6101 - Guerrilla Marketing

Market research is important to understanding your customer base. Guerilla Marketing discusses two types or research: free research and paid research. The guerilla should take advantage of the free research to better appeal to their base and tailor their advertisement. One of the easiest ways is to have an informal survey that can be sent online or filled out at the time of purchase. I remember when I bought my first car a few years after graduating from college. The dealership wanted to know age, race, income, residency, and occupation. They wanted to know this to see who was buying their cars and how to tailor their ads to their future clients. One easy way to have a promotional discount such as new graduate discounts to outsell competitors in the same market. By focusing in on current and future clients and giving them a small but sizable discount, they can undersell competitors and build their client base. It works because I would go back to that dealership to look f...
