BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Adopt an established reflective model (for example, the Gibbs Reflective Cycle 1988, or the Driscoll Reflective Model, 1994, etc) Based on a verifiable reflection model and relevant aspects of the topics, you are required to write a upto 900-word reflection The topics you are expected to cover may include, but are not limited to Business Environment and Reflective Business Practices, Business Structures and Government Regulations, including Economic Principles. Use of ONE (1) verifiable reflective model (e.g., Gibbs, 1988, etc). Please use the model’s reflective stages as your presentation headings (main body). 1. Start the reflection with a description of your initial understanding of the business environment, reflective practices, economic principles and others. 2. What is a business/project environment? Why do you think pursuing a further study (e.g master’s) can be of help in achieving a future goal for example as a manager? Reflect on your understanding. Your reflection should be clear and succinct and demonstrate that you have short-term and long-term goals 3. How can business environment and its economic principles be linked to your goals of being a future manager? 4. What are the significant learnings and knowledge from the business environment, reflective practices, economic principles and others that can be related to your present and future career/professional aspirations of being a manager? 5. As you think about the future, how might you apply these learning experiences in the life of your career/profession? 6. Integrate some theoretical implications into the reflection. For example, if the reason for embarking on an MBA program is to become a manager at an organization, for example at Procter and Gamble, or start a new business and or advance your career, you may need to reflect on the consequences/implications of some business environment issues — stakeholders, business structures, macro- and microenvironments, etc. 7. What do you recommend to further professional development outside of formal studies?
