i – SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
I resumed class on 5th August, 2009. I really enjoy all the classes that I am taking in this semester. I collected my results for the PUF supplementary exams and I cleared.
During lectures this month we have covered different topics in the following modules:
- Business Administration;
- Nature of an organization; tall organization whereby you can find more than four levels of positions, and flat organization with less than four levels. This will always depend on the size of the organization.
- Organizational structure; regional structure: in this structure we have line and staff organization. Functional based structure: it refers to line and staff functions
- Growth of the organization; we looked at different factors such as: Alliance, mergers, joint venture and takeover.
- Production: Factors of production: land, labor, capital, entrepreneurship.
- Organizational culture: Its concept and importance.
Through this module, I am now able to understand the nature of an organization and the way it should work. I tried to think of some organizations that I have seen and heard about in my life, and came up to understand why their structures were some how different.
- Microeconomics;
- Introduction to microeconomics: economic system, opportunity cost, methodology
- Demand and supply analysis: Law of demand, Individual demand, Market demand, Movement, along and shifts of the demand curve, and Price determination. I really enjoyed it because it reflects practical situations, how the interaction of demand and supply determines the price of commodities in the market, when the price rises and falls.
- Financial Accounting
- Conceptual framework: Meaning and application.
- Regulatory framework: Meaning, International Accounting Standard Board (IASB), International Accounting Standards (IASs) / International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).
- Adjustments to financial statement: Stock and depreciation.
- Information systems and theory;
- Introduction to IT,
- Computer generation and types: microcomputer, midrange, and mainframe.
- Levels of management: strategic level, tactical level, and operational level.
- Managing Communication and professional development;
- Academic witting skills: how to write your essay or any other academic work such assignments.
- Carrier development: Self manage planning; I found that there are different types of learners, and as a student, once one identifies his/her category or types, it is advisable to practice it in the learning period.
ii – PERSONAL ACTIVITIES
