Management Information System

Management Information System is one of six subjects that should be taken in semester 2. At first, I do not know why we need to learn this subject. I also do not know, what the relation between business and information system is. But then, after attending lectures and tutorials, now I just realized that it is quite important for us as future businessman or businesswoman. In these modern lives, all the things are using modern technology, especially in business.

In order to make their work faster, effective and efficient; people will apply those modern technology in their activity. Besides it is faster, it also can save their cost and their precious time as a businessman. They can communicate with their partners without go directly to their partner’s location. And also finish their work even they are not in the office.

In this subject, we are asked to make an application that has not been created before. Actually it is very easy, since most of us definitely have the imagination of an application that we want to make our activity easier. So, in my group, we decided to make fashion’s app where you can know someone’s style and also buy it online.

Giving the idea of this app is easy; however, we faced difficulties in making the video. Since we do not know anything how to edit, combine and cut a video. But then, my friend suggests me to use iMovie from Mac. Luckily one of my group mates is using Mac so we can use it to edit our video. Besides that, actually I am so afraid that my friend who owns the Mac will not do anything since last time when we had group assignment she also did nothing. But since we need her laptop to edit, it makes her to do the assignment since she is the one who can operate Mac. And also we can finish our assignment early before the due date. J

Business Communication

In Business Communication subject, there is a group assignment which needs to do a business report. In order to make this, we need to do an interview in a company. To make it easier, Ms. Naziha suggested choosing small company, since if it is big company it will be so hard to analysis their company. My group is so excited to do this assignment. Since we have mid semester break before the submission, we decided to do it earlier so the report can be prepared well and reach highest mark.

At first, Full House is chosen because it has a unique place so we want to know it more. And also, maybe it can be easier to know the problems and also give recommendations. But, after asking Full House and emailed the manager; they never replied it even has been waited for one week. Then we moved to another company which is Waroeng Oma. It is Indonesian cuisine restaurant in Malaysia. 

After deciding to move to another company, it made us less excited than before, because it did not go as our first plan. However, after having interview; it made us became excited anymore. Since we did the interview before holiday, we expected it can be perfectly done before the holiday ended. And also, since the owner ever became a teacher, she said she wanted to see it and can help us.

During holidays, the report was running well. Everyone did their part as they were asked. However, it only stopped till there. Do not know why, but suddenly no one try to discuss this assignment anymore. Maybe they were too busy with another assignment or with their holiday times. The due date for the business report was on the second week after midterm break. It means, it has so much time to do before the due date. But, it did not.

After revising again our parts and giving it to other group mate to check the grammar; it was stuck until here. Everyone was very busy with their others group assignment and forgot the business report. Since the business report needs to submit first before others subject; they should finish it first before continuing others subject. 

It was really disappointing. Everyone was rushed to do it a night before the due date until night changes into morning. I never imagined that it will become like that at the end. The expectation is not reached, since it was done in last minute and also there was no time to check it anymore. It just checked at a glance when wanted to submit it to the drop box. I hope it will not be happened again in the future for another assignment.
