"If goods were sold only for cash, prices would be lower and everyone would be better off." I somewhat agree because everyone relies on credit cards - even if they have to pay it off later."If I can't pay for something, it means I can't afford it, so I won't buy it." I agree because I use this term, aha!" I buy on credit whenever I can because credit increases sales and is good for businesses." I somewhat agree with this because people can rely on cash too much and they become in debt with someone that they need to pay back later... Cause that's what I do too, LOL. "You should use credit sometimes: it helps you establish a credit rating, which may be useful in case of an emergency." I don't have much of an opinion on it.. I'll just leave it at that. 

Planning is the basic function of management, it plans ahead of time, what should happen in the future; achievements of goals. Organizing is bringing in physical, financial and human resources. Achievement of organized goals. Leading/Directing is managerial function which helps the organizational method to work much more better for the achievement of organizational purposes. Controlling is implying measurement of accomplishment opposed to standards and ensures achievement of organizational goals. The advantages of participative planning is increase in productivity, job satisfaction, motivation, improved quality and reduced costs. The disadvantages of participative planning is that decision making slows down and there may be a raise in security issues.

My groups business is doing really well, better than expected. The managers in my life influence me in different ways. Teachers influence my future, what I wanna do, what I would be interested in. Coaches are teachers that I respect the most because not only do they influence me, they get to know me in a more.. Skilled level. My parents, I highly respect them but the only way they influence me is by giving examples as to what they were like when they were my age. I can understand the way they see things if they do it that way. I put this altogether and the influence they have on me is to strive and do my best, it doesn't matter about what the outcome would've been, it just matters if I tried my hardest. I can use this in my work because it shows that I won't give up and/or that I won't stress too much of the outcome, just as long as I did what needed to be done.

A product that is in the decline stage of it's miserable life is the Ipod Nano (those rectangle ones.) I went to go and buy one with my mom and then the salesman said that they no longer sell it because apple wanted to promote the touches and the shuffles. Made me sooooo angry. My recommendations would be to either upgrade them like they did with shuffles, add a touch addition to it, or market them like they used to. To me they seemed like they just gave up. I say so because I STILL WANTED IT & I THINK THEY COULD'VE SOLD MORE IF THEY WERE PATIENT.
