Cameron Smith Dr. Chung BUS105 10 December 2018 IA05 On September 14th, guest speaker Dr. Charlotte Lott came in to speak to our class. Dr. Lott is an economics professor at Chatham University. Before becoming a professor at Chatham, Dr. Lott was an academic librarian at the University of Wisconsin—Madison. She came in to talk to the class about several aspects and provided a brief overview of working in economics. The class was somewhat aware of the aspects of economics due to the business textbooks that were used throughout the Business 105 course. The lecture was related to aspects of business due to the large amount of overlap in the curriculum in the two courses. Personally, Dr. Lott also teaches my microeconomics class and has provided me with a large amount of information throughout the semester. The lecture went hand and hand with the Wall Street Journal because both were heavily economics based and provide solid information. In the textbook, student were c

Cameron Smith Dr. Chung BUS 105 5 December 2018 IA 04 I attended Chatham’s Business and Entrepreneurship Club Accounting and Information Systems Networking Mixer on September 25th. The event had speakers that spent a little while talking about a number of things. The speakers took time to talk to the audience about aspects of business and then allowed for the audience to ask questions that they wanted a professional’s answer on. The event included a two hour panel that was conducted by Dr. Chung. On this panel was Tom Bartos, the CFO of Cognistx, Jim Marino, technology manager at PNC and professor at Chatham University, Dan Desko, the team leader of auditing and risk management at Schneider Downs. The panel consisted of Dr. Chung asking the three panelists a question that they would answer. This event was very helpful and allowed me to learn much additional information. My takeaway from this event was that it is very possible for people to be successful in their small

IA 03 Personal Business Plan I will display myself in a professional manor and be 100% genuine at all times. Business Environment I will be competing in the law enforcement industry. This is a good global industry because there is crime everywhere and a need for law enforcement. The factors due to economics in this field is that places with less money, there is more likely to be higher rates of crime, therefore directly relating to the amount of people in law enforcement. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the possibilities of job fields for a criminology major are thriving and are unlikely to result in unemployment . Entrepreneurship and Strategy I see that the main problem with advertising and marketing "me" is that I need to do something that can separate me from everyone else and better equip me for getting a possible career. My first course of action as an entrepreneur would be to get several satisfied notable customers (references)

Individual Assignment #2

IA 02           The person that I chose to interview is a criminology/psychology major in their third year at Chatham. My Interviewee preferred to stay anonymous, but said that in their free-time they enjoy going to the Cold Cases Club meetings, watching Netflix, and hanging out with their friends.            My interviewee said that the study strategies that they have found most successful while here at Chatham are studying with flash cards, and studying with a friend. The reason that they claimed these are the best study methods are because they allow for you to study with interaction. Studying with a bunch of flash cards is a good way to learn because it allows you to go over a topic and giving yourself an attempt at solving it before flipping it over and getting the correct answer, which makes the memorizing of a topic more convenient. Studying with a person is also a good way to learn because it is the same concept as using flash cards, except that using another person to hel

The article that I read was about whether or not the Israeli army is prepared for war.  In this article, they discuss why there are doubts about the Israeli army's ability to fight a war. The debate is going back and forth between levels of the government since some believe that they are ready for a war, but many involved in the military claim differently. One of the arguments being made about the IDF or Israel Defense Forces is that they have had " long  periods of low-level operations in which their military skills are eroded." This is a large setback for the IDF because they have been traditionally considered one of the best equipped and overall militaries in the past and now it appears that they have fallen off. One reasoning behind the fall off of the Israel Defense Force is that there is mandatory service for citizens of Israel in the military and as said in the article " two-thirds of young people serve time in the army", and the fact that so many ser
