Technology

Technology definitely helped our project move along very smoothly without too many communication problems. Email was huge in our group, we coordinated pretty much everything/everyones tasks through email, and we were able to keep communicating on our progress very easily through email. Blackboard was also very helpful in staying coordinated and staying on the same page in dealing with different documents and information. We were able to post documents for eachother to easily see and download, which made collaboration very straight forward. 

So overall technology proved to be extremely helpful, there weren't any real problems with technology, other than someone forgetting to check their email and little things like that. It was great to see our project come together so smoothly and without many big problems.

Ethics

In class this week we learned a lot of ethics and principles. When I go to enter the business world and am in the workforce, I believe ethics plays one of the major roles in every business environment. If your trying to put a deal together of any sort there are usually two parties, a buyer and a seller. Credibility plays a huge role in terms of making or breaking a deal sometimes, and someones reputation of their principles and ethics comes into play. If you can't trust a buyer or seller because they have a reputation of not coming through on orders, or messing orders up, then you are very likely to be hesitant, and maybe take your business elsewhere to have that security. In a working environment where you deal with coworkers on a day to day basis, peoples principles are very important, I believe that if you say your going to do something you need to do it, to me, keeping your word and telling the truth about things is the most important facet to any business related relationship, because it allows people to be more comfortable and work together better and more eficiently if they are always on the same page.
