Introduction
The responsibility of the Research
Department is to look for and research non-profit organizations. The Research rep will start to research for
organizations within their local area.
Things to consider are churches, clothing banks, basically any place
that will help the community. Once the
non-profit organizations have been found then they will do more research on the
specific website related to the organization.
Once they are on the web site they are responsible for researching the
organizations sites and looking for contacts, whether it’s the president,
marketing director, coordinator, however, sometimes they won’t be able to
locate a specific person so they can just use the organizations email. Being in the research department you are
responsible for researching non-profit organizations website locating the
contact and email them a template to try and get their interest. After the first email they will wait 24-48
for a response, if they don’t receive any response then they send a follow up
email. Once they get a response back
accepting they then add this information to the client intake form and email
them back advising they will forward the information to the sales and marketing
team. The research department and sales
and marketing department work hand and hand for the company. They can face issues if a contact doesn’t
reach back out to them but every contact may not respond. Some of the observations the student observed
is not having all the tools immediately and having those feelings of being
overwhelmed. Now that week 1 is over she
is seen a decrease in the nerves and not being so overwhelmed.
Career skills in the field of business
and management
The experiences and observations
that have been noticed involve a lot around having the career skills within
business and management. There are going
to be certain skills she will need to know and understand to be effective in
the business and management. Some things
she might want to understand is Business acumen its knowing the company’s
business (Seabrook, 2003). One main key
is communication this is one she will need to follow along with her
classmates. By having those important
communications skills whether they are verbal or written will be a huge factor
to develop within the business (Seabrook, 2003). Since she’s has been a leader in her daily
job she was able to implement leadership skills now. It’s known that leaders do make significant
business decisions, they lead by example, have a sense of character (Seabrook,
2003). She can also improve on her soft
skills, she can gain information in active listening to everyone, resolving any
type of conflict effectively, providing any form of feedback, leading by
example inspiring others, just to name a few (Douglas, 2003).
Information Management, Planning, and
control in business environments.
With more observation she did come to
realization that there needs to be some form of business process here. It’s known that business processes happen
each day that are a part of the jobs daily life (Kent, 2005, 01). By having strong and successful business
processes this can help with the strategic planning of the job. BPM is known not only to factor on solving
process but also promote the culture shift within the company (Kent, 2005, 01). A company has four key dimensions that they
must elaborate to avoid and unhealthy tension in the enterprise. Throughout the
organization the people who are involved are the ones that use this
information. The process is the information that is related that must be
accomplished. Culture is how things are done in the information environments.
Infrastructure is the information-related to technologies, policies, tools and
the governance that is involved (Hatcher & Prentice, 2004). These are good policies and factor she can
apply to her management, planning techniques.
An organization must know where it
stands by constantly evaluating how to operate, consolidate, integrate,
optimize, and innovate (Hatcher & Prentice, 2004). By evaluating these existing resource, it can
more effectively suggest future improvement to evolve in a way that will achieve
the best possible results (Hatcher & Prentice, 2004).
Conclusion
The
student is gaining the understanding she is an asset to the company along with
her co-interns. Both her instructors, other interns have stated
they are all here for her and the others.
They are all wanting everyone to succeed and help us make it through
this experience. By knowing this it has
put her stress at ease a bit.
