charlie the egg

the class activity was great. caught of guard my group and i managed to pull together and invent the ultimate eggdrop. i actually think that my group used all the steps in the planning process to keep the egg in one piece. i think that my team rushed things a little too much because we began to mix up ideas, and as we ran out of time were not really close to the design we had originally wanted. i think a little more time would help us become more effective, but our did not break so i would say we did great.
First we began by drawing an aray of different models and discussing which would work best. we tried spider models, pyramid beds, and boxing gym designes but in the end found a loop hole in the instructions. last minute as we were building a spider type model we had left over tape and began jokin how it we should use the tail to drop it from a lower point,. we laughed and realized that we were never told otherwise, sop we wrapped the stras around the egg for cushioning and used the tape as a tail to lower the egg.
i feel that the group worked greaty together, we all had different idea but managed to agree on a sngle answer. we planned the use of materials together, and all helped tape the egg. the weakenesses were alo our strenghths as we had so many idea but little time.
although it appeared that our egg was not 50% uncovered we also overcame that as all the members of the group came forth and hlped uncover the egg. we worked great as a group and thus achieved the goal we set out to do, however there is a negative to the 5 points, we didnt have om;lettes for dinner.....

A Major Issue

my friend started a company this winter break and decided to exclude me, because for some reason he felt my ideas were not worthy enough. fortunetly for me lol i honestly and lets keep this between us felt that his idea was stupid, so i was less then upset. i decided to look into my own ideas and came up with one inparticular which i will not mention until the paperwork is completed, because i have an excellent location, and the demand is growing. i realize ofcourse that any idea has many problems and take a lot of time to actually start up. therfore i decided to partner up with the friend whose business had failed like i figured it would and a second friend for financial backing and business knowledge.
once we though over the idea realized that the profits will not make us rich, however will provide us with an investment which will definetly prove profitable in the future. i began to look into the cost of supplies and realized that they were cheaper then i had planned, and i actually found a wholesaler willing to pricematch any cheaper supplies with their 110% price match guarantee.
Now i am down to the most important decision, although we have the area mapped out for competition, we cannot find a property with the appropriote area for an affordable price. we are left to think that renting though safer with less to pay and less to lose is just throwing away money, we would rather lease or mortgage a property but that requires funds far larger then originally anticipated. we will not be able to get the financial backing from any bank since we are only college students with undeveloped credit. we did consider getting an investor but then he will collect our profits with no labor, a fourth partner however is already too much managment. we seem to be procrasrtinating, however i fear the day that competion realizes the potential of the area, my hard work will all be forfited. WHAT TO DO?????????????????

pizza

i personally loved todays class, aside from the group who decided it was most cost efficient to make dough in the backyard from wheat and a windmill, i thought all the ideas were great and thats the beauty about managment. i think that a similiar business can be run and operated succesfully various ways, hence many manager always their own touch. i felt that th ecersizze was a great real world situation, and the hends on thinking and actual planning was a better lesson then just reading from a text book

Superbowl XLII

ok so the first quarter has just ended slightly disapointing because the Patriots just got a TD and the way they are playing looks like it wont be their last, however the Giants who are new to the Bowl were quite close and played some amazing offense. so let me continue to watch and i will keep posting. score NE-7, NY-3
