Class 11/2

Today we learned about the five functional business systems:  Marketing Systems, Manufacturing Information Systems, Human Resource Information Systems, Accounting Systems, and Financial Systems.  Marketing Systems have three main subsystems:  Interactive Marketing, Target Marketing, and Sales Force Automation.

I enjoyed the videos about robots.  The down side of robotics is that if there is one little the error in the system, then the whole process is messed up.  The upsides are:  they are efficient, work 24/7, don't tire, and don't need benefits.  They are true game changers in the manufacturing industry.

Class grade today:  A

  1. One pro-robotics argument is that they will create such huge amounts of wealth that we will all enjoy much leisure time to travel, get self enlightenment, more education, sports, etc.
