Discussion # 1
Think about the technology needed to support daily tasks and functions within our organizations and how quickly technology changes. There are many challenges we face as leaders in today's world, and making sure our organization has the right technology in place to be successful is one of those challenges. As a leader, how do you know that you have chosen the right technology? Who do you turn to for feedback, advice or information? Are there certain leadership traits or behaviors that a leader would need to be successful in making these types of decisions?
Discussion #2
We have had a successful course full of readings and discussions. Now it is time to apply your learning to an article in the media and to share it with the class in the form of a discussion.
First, look in reputable publications for an article that addresses any issue from the course. For example, find an article in the New York Times about the portrayal of race in the media; or an article in the Los Angeles Times about a new generation of shock advertising.
Bring this article to the table, so to speak, in the form of a discussion by summarizing your article, its contents, views, and relevance to this class. If the article is available online, be sure to include a link to the article. If not, cite the source.
In your response post, try to identify the potential effect or future implications of the issue presented.
