"SURPRISE"
That's the word for the week. Yes, life is indeed full of surprises. Just like in our meeting in INTRICT this past week, last 18th of June, 2008 which was our only meeting.
It was 8AM when Sir Oli arrived and later on distributed papers among us... it was a friggin' surprise... a surprise test, haha. We didn't have any friggin' idea on what the coverage was. No announcement was made the week before. Just the dreaded test paper on our respective tables, plus the "bonus" powerpoint that Sir Oli flashed on the board, haha. Well it kinda helped... I guess? HAHAHA.
To cut the crap off, there's a lesson learned... BE FRIGGIN' READY AT ALL FRIGGIN' TIMES. XP
ANYWAY...
The tests items were discussed in class. We discussed about the positions that are part of a company/enterprise (Non-Management Employees, Operational Management, Middle Management, Executive Management), the different activities of managers (Planning, Organizing, Leading, and Controlling), the different kinds of company/enterprise reports (External, Detailed, Summary), other terms (Chief Information Officer, Enterprise Resource Planning, Workflow Application, Knowledge Workers), etc.
MAN, talk about understanding these things.
IT'S GONNA BE A LOT OF FUN, AIN'T IT? Hehe.
And though the different functional units of an enterprise were included in the test, we didn't discuss it. But yes, there are a lot of enterprise functional units, examples are the engineering unit, sales and marketing unit, and customer service. There was even an essay question in the test asking how understanding the relation of the functional units affects an ICT professional. And in my personal perception, it is important for the professional as it affects him/her since that particular individual is tasked to conceptualize and if possible come up with possible applications on how the functional units can interact and communicate smoothly in the industry and/or how they can be integrated together.
So BASICALLY...
That's it for INTRICT week number 4.
