1. One of the biggest things I have taken from each lesson and new analysis is how encompassing a business is. To truly begin a business report, every aspect of what the company does needs consideration. Overlooking numerous factors will result in a less thorough business report than necessary. One has to truly understand the ins and outs to get a clear transparent overview. The worst thing a person can do is not be diligent in taking the time to understand what the company intrinsically is.

Dually it also was encouraging to see the improvements on my end with every lesson. As I learned more about the business, I felt more comfortable writing about that. In turn, I could use each analysis with my previous results. Each week with reflection saw a vast improvement and allowed me to write better. I agree " that writing the business report improved the ability to organize when writingthe highest level of agreement between instructors and students for any characteristic and the most improved characteristic"(Hiemstra, 2001, p.46).

The biggest skill that led to my improvement was clarity. It is interesting to read that " Instructors and students disagreed even more about improvements in clarity" (Hiemstra, 2001, p.46). For me, clarity is something that both the instructor and the student work together to improve. Early on, I needed help to take all of the information and translate it into where the results could come from. When clarity is the focus of improvement, the paper's overall structure improves. JC

2.The publicly traded company I chose to do my project on was no other than Apple. I chose this company becuase I wanted to research and learn what it was like at the top of their industry. Through my research I've have learned how many different moving parts and how much hard work goes into making a successfull company, especially a company that has been that successfull for that long. An improved skill I've learned through research of this company is people skills and how important it is to gain peoples trust so they stick with you in the long run. Another important skill that this company has preached and has helped me is quality over quantity. This company is all about this because at the end of the day what matters is how their device works and for how long, thus has shown me that perfection takes time and you can't rush greatnes. All in all this company has taught me a lot, it is no secret as to why this company remains at the top of their industry.
