Atfer the Marketing Plan assignments, I learnt that teams will increase our productivity when we learn the ways of how to communicate, build consensus, and solve conflicts. Teams will also become stronger when we learn the ways of how to form group performances, solve group problems, and evaluate teammates. Further, it is one thing to create a team, but quite another to create teamwork. Teamwork is the soul of a team. However, it doesn’t mean everybody doing their own part or everybody being able to do each other’s jobs. It’s more means to a synergistic way of working, where the sum is greater than the parts.

And, I found I still need a lot of improvements in English skills, both in speaking and writing. My writing skills are the worst in my team. My teammate, Nancy, helped me edit my parts a lot to make them clear and concise during the assignments. I have to  thank her here. Thanks, Nancy. I really appreciate it!

Before I took this course, I knew nothing about Marketing. From my old point of view, marketing was just finding an effective method to sell company’s products. However, what I have learnt after this course is marketing is the process of communicating the value of a product or service to customers. It is a critical busniess function for attracting customers. It’s not as easy as I think. Marketing is on my option list now. 🙂
