During our last session in BA180.1, we learned a diagramming program. It shows how to achieve a goal (getting to the 'end' function) by following a set of steps and answering a few questions. At first, I thought that this is quite a boring subject because it is easy to look up procedures of certain things in the internet. For example, the exercise we did regarding the procedures on voting during election time in the Philippines. Our group simply searched it in Google and was able to do the diagram instantly in Gliffy.Com. As I said earlier, I don't see the need for such a program because it's easy to follow the step by step procedures that's numbered in that particular site. However, I remembered my BA182 class wherein we had a session regarding the decision tree and realized that there are times when decision making becomes too complex that a software is needed to help track down where one is. BA182, also known as Management Science II, teaches students on how to arrive at a good decision. A good decision is one that has considered all the parameters and has used the necessary tools to arrive at it. Even if the outcome is not favorable, it is still considered a good decision as long as those have been done. The studies conducted usually considers 'what ifs'. For example, what are the chances of success if one plans to do business in the Philippines given that the market is favorable? If the market is unfavorable, what will be his chances of success then? If the probability for success is higher than that of a failure, how big of a business will he build? Will the business be small sized, medium or large? In making a decision, there are a lot of questions and I think this is where the diagramming program comes in. From the starting point, one can trace what his actions will be given that certain circumstances apply to the situation. This way, the whole approach will be more systematic and clear.
In general, I think there are a lot of lessons that we students deem as a 'waste of time' since we think that they will not be applicable to us. However, most of the time, everything that we learn are interconnected to one another. There is usually a connection somewhere, we just have to be optimistic and find it.
Here's what we did last meeting regarding the voting process:
