To make your communication efforts as effective as possible, focus on making them practical, factual, concise, clear, and persuasive (Bovée).
Professionalism consists of these six traits: striving to excel, being dependable and accountable, being a team player, demonstrating a sense of etiquette, making ethical decisions, and maintaining a positive outlook.
Ethical behavior is a companywide concern, but because communication efforts are the public face of the company, they are subjected to particularly rigorous scrutiny from regulators, legislators, investors, consumer groups, environmental groups, labor organizations, and anyone else affected by business activities (Bovée).
To communicate effectively, you need to keep technology in perspective, use technological tools productivity, guard against information overload, and disengage from devices frequently to communicate in person (Bovée).
When a team collaborates on reports, websites, presentations, and other communication projects, the collective energy and expertise of the various members can produce results that transcend what each individual could do alone (Bovée).
Effective listeners adopt their listening approaches to different situations and can use two or more types of listening in a single conversation (Bovée).
Questions:
What is the importance of culture when communicating with others from a different cultures? I understand that others may have different beliefs but how can ones beliefs affect someones ability to communicate properly?
I never realized the importance of listening when trying to communicate. What are some signs that would show that someone is not listening correctly when trying to communicate?
Ted Talk:
Antoni Lacinai's first lesson, " You cannot not communicate", made me think about all the ways people truly communicate and all the styles on communication. It also brought up a few thoughts about how someone could go through a day without showing any kind of communication. Is it possible?
Antoni Lacinai's third lesson, "You
make people feel what you want them to feel", brought to my attention
how vulnerable people are to one another actions and opinions.

For my highlights and questions
about chapters one and two plus the Ted Talks video, I decided to first
watch the Ted Talks because it was shorter than reading both chapters;
and I am very glad I did. I am not going to lie, I was not looking
forward to this video. For many reasons including it’s the first day of
class, I just had a break for a month, and it is a 20 minute video.
However, I found the video to be very interesting and something that I
could connect to my life almost instantly from the start of the video
when the speaker started talking about text messages for dinner. Which
are text messages I get frequently, and I would bet at least 4 times a
week now that I am home. After that short message about text messages
the next thing about the video that I thought was crazy is the part
about the attention spans in humans. I remember the beginning few words
of the attention spans speech. However, as the speech went on, I found
myself looking around the room instead of the screen and the only thing
that brought my attention back to the screen was a loud change in his
voice and as an instinct I guess I looked back over to the running time
in the bottom left corner it was time stamped at 3:47. Finally, the
last highlight if the Ted Talks was the part when the speaker brought up
the statement when someone asks you to put down the phone. The reason
why it was a highlight to me, is because this has happened to me on
several different occasions. I could be sitting on the couch, eating
dinner, or even at a public place but I won’t realize that I am
affecting someone by being on my phone until they point it out. And
then, after that meeting I will go back to being on my phone in a
different situation almost like my brain doesn’t see a problem with it.
After reading the chapters, my highlights taken were that communication increases productivity and in return generates better financial results. Also, technology has allowed for a tremendous leap in how people see and use communication. Chapter two also talked about business etiquette and this is something that I reread multiple times. As I think this is the most important part of the chapter and is something every student will need to study and understand fully before heading into the workforce. Finally, the last highlight I believe from chapters one and two is the idea that listening and other forms of nonverbal communication are key elements of communication. While we have always heard that a good leader listens before they speak, it was nice to relearn this topic and have a constant reminder that nonverbal communication is key not only in your personal life, but in your work life as well.
Lastly, after listening to the Ted Talks and reading both chapters there is still some questions I have. First off, how do we calculate different channels in communication. For example, in the Ted Talks video the speaker describes spoken voice as a 3 channel communication tool and written words as a 4 channel communication tool. However, I cannot wrap my head around how spoken voice has 3 channels; I even paused the video to try and figure it out. My final questions are, do you as my fellow classmates and professor have these same problems as me; such as a 3 minute attention span to constantly being on your phone without seeing a problem? And do you as fellow classmates thinks these are generation problems that we will always have or do you think we will grow out of them?

Southern New Hampshire University APIs vs. Web Services Discussion
In the blog post, API vs Web Service: What’s the Difference?, the authors state that “All web services are APIs, but not all APIs are web services.” For your initial discussion post:
Create an explanation for this statement that you could share with someone new to the information technology field.
Make sure you include information that describes what web services and APIs are, and also clearly explains why “All web services are APIs, but not all APIs are web services.”
In your response to your peers, provide feedback on their explanations.

The phrase "All web services are APIs, but not all APIs are web services" seems simple at first but can be more complicated when understanding what APIs and web services do. In order to understand what they are and what their differences are. Simply put, a webservice allows two machines to talk to each other though it must occur through a network, while an API or Application Programming Interface provides a set of provides the tools such as protocols that will allow applications to communicate with each other (RapidAPIStaff, 2021). The major difference is between an API and a web service is while web services must communicate through a network, but some APIs don't.

When one hears the saying that “All web services are APIs, but not all APIs are web services” it might be confusing. This is completely understandable. First, one must know the definitions of both API and Web Service.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. An API is an application that interfaces with an external service, therefore allowing the two applications to talk with one another. Many people use APIs everyday without even realizing it. Some examples of APIs are Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, travel websites, PayPal, weather snippets, streaming services, financial institutions, or the ability to login to other websites using your social media account (Bush, 2019).
Some characteristics of APIs are:
Developer-friendly, broadly understood and easy to access (“What is an API? (Application Programming Interface)”, n.d.).
They are monitored and managed for security, performance, and scale access (“What is an API? (Application Programming Interface)”, n.d.).
They are designed and created for specific types of audiences access (“What is an API? (Application Programming Interface)”, n.d.).
Allow for programmers to generate programs faster as the interface is already created for them.
Another manner in which to explain an API to an individual would be to compare the API to employees at a movie theater. The employee at the desk will sell you a ticket to see a movie. Once you have the ticket in hand, you will see the next employee and hand them the ticket, thus allowing you in to see the movie.
A Web Service is a manner in which two electronic devices communicate with one another over a network (RapidAPIStaff, 2021).
Some characteristics of Web Services are:
They usually use the XML messaging system (“What are Web Services?,” n.d.)
They are not tied exclusively to one type of Operating System or computer programming language (“What are Web Services?,” n.d.)
They can be used over internet or intranet connections
A Web Service could also be described as one computer talking to another computer to seek out information or to make a request for the other computer to complete a task.
When looking at the difference between an API and a Web Service it could simply be described as a human vs. a computer requesting an assist from another entity. However, APIs do not always need a network connection to work while all Web Services require a network in order to function (RapidAPIStaff, 2021).

A Web Service is a manner in which two electronic devices communicate with one another over a network (RapidAPIStaff, 2021).
Some characteristics of Web Services are:
They usually use the XML messaging system (“What are Web Services?,” n.d.)
They are not tied exclusively to one type of Operating System or computer programming language (“What are Web Services?,” n.d.)
They can be used over internet or intranet connections
A Web Service could also be described as one computer talking to another computer to seek out information or to make a request for the other computer to complete a task.
When looking at the difference between an API and a Web Service it could simply be described as a human vs. a computer requesting an assist from another entity. However, APIs do not always need a network connection to work while all Web Services require a network in order to function (RapidAPIStaff, 2021).

Campbellsville University Products Ranking Exercise
Identify a project that you are planning to pursue either at home or at work. List all of the components, decision points, and chance events. What is the measure of success for the project? Assuming that there is more than one measure, how can you reconcile them?
What experiences have you had with group decision making? What difficulties do you see arising when trying to perform a multiple-criteria analysis with many interested parties involved? How might these difficulties be overcome, or at least mitigated?

* P = poor, F = fair, G = good, VG = very good, E = excellent
Using an equal point spread for all five ratings (i.e., P = 1 , F = 2 , G = 3 , VG = 4 , E = 5 P=1, F=2, G=3, VG=4, E=5), determine a weighted score for each product idea. What is the ranking of the three products?
Rank the criteria, compute the rank-sum weights, and determine the score for each alternative. Do the same using the rank reciprocal weights.
What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of this method of product selection?.
Activity II: Using MAUT and the AHP, perform an analysis to select a graduate program. Explain your assumptions and indicate which technique you believe is most appropriate for this application.
