1- What kinds of things do people on Twitter seem to be talking about, debating, arguing about or otherwise engaging in meaningful exchanges of ideas about? Give us a descriptive and clear sense of the kinds of stories you're seeing in these Twitter feeds.
If I had to describe what I found on #businessmanagement on twitter, it would be "tip central." More often than not, I found many posts/pages that provided fellow tweeters with advice on how to better manage your business. From information on how to analyze a resume all the way to how to fire someone without destroying them. The feed also makes announcements as to which institutions are offering courses related to business management. For example, Economic Times had a popular tweet that announced the Indian Institute of Management, Bengaluru is now offering an online certification for business management. Each different account that you come across has something different to bring to the table, each with their own audience
2- In your opinion, what are the two most interesting conversations or stories you found in the Twitter feeds? Hyperlink us to the two different Twitter feeds and explain why you found those conversations interesting. Be specific and honest and be yourself.
Economic Times seems to be covering the story between India Prime Minister, Narendra Modi and the farmer's rally for some sort of crop insurance plan to help the farmers out. Modi is trying to incorporate a two year crop insurance scheme that will hopefully reach about 50% of farmers in India. The start-up proposal is not yet famous, seeing as though it was just released about two weeks ago. Modi claims that if he can get people to join the scheme, they will receive the help that they seek. Economic Times is a great resource for finding trending topics internationally.
The account Harvard Business Review is a popular page with nearly 2.5 million followers. This page is constantly spewing short articles to help one successfully manage their work space. One article stood out to me that pertained to hiring and it was about a small franchise named Pal's Sudden service. This small chain in Tennessee is thriving and has even won the Malcolm Baldrige Quality Award, usually won by the likes of the Ritz-Carlton, Cadillac, FedEx, etc. One wouldn't really assume that a small fast-food chain would receive such a prestigious award. The article notes that employees receive 120 hours of training before they are allowed to work on their own and employees receive around 2-3 pop quizzes each month. If they fail they are allowed to get retrained in that area. This article was cool because it gave many tips to business managers on what Pal's is doing right and how they are thriving as a business.
3- Overall, what impression do you get of your discipline based on what you saw happening on Twitter? Were the people in these feeds talking in ways you expected or did not expect, about things you anticipated they'd be talking about or things you had no idea they'd be discussing? Explain in concise specific detail.
After researching the #businessmanagement on Twitter and going through a few accounts, I found hat the business world is CONSTANTLY changing. It seems as though there is never a set way on how to do something, or how to manage your employees. It depends on the time era that you are in, what kind of employees you hire, what type of business you have. So many factors tie in to how you should manage your business. All of these twitter accounts are very useful on giving a quick rundown of how to better manage your workplace.
