Week 1 - Blog Sample

My name is Maggie Bossingham and I am a student at Benedictine University. This spring semester is my first semester at Benedictine University. I have previously attended community college and have attended nursing school at Lewis University. However after one semester of nursing school, I realized it was not the path I wanted to go. Thus, I am at Benedictine University seeking a bachelor's degree in Human Resource Management. I chose human resources because I believe it is a role in business that has the capacity to help people, which coincides with why I previously thought I wanted to be a nurse.

I am very excited about moving on from prerequisite classes and learning more applicable studies. This class specifically I am excited for, although I think it will challenge me as I am not very tech savvy. But that is something I am hopeful this class will help me with as it is important in today's culture.

Product Development Stages and Marketing According to the YouTube video Product Development Stages  there are eight stages in product development. Idea generation, idea screening, concept development, market strategy, feasibility analysis/study, product design, test marketing and market entry.  The main area for marketing is during that market strategy phase where you must determine the target market, or who specifically you are trying to sell to.  Also during the test marketing phase, part of that target market is usually used to test acceptance of the product and if it should go out to the rest of the market. Ultimately when developing a product, marketing is trying to gauge the target audience and market to them effectively so that when the product enters its life cycle in phase eight, it will continue to have a long and profitable life.

Week 8 - Faces of AI

Microsoft AI One of the many faces of AI is Microsoft. I came to realize this after a commercial; I was watching the Olympics on live TV so for the first time in awhile I was watching commercials. A commercial came on that featured Common. At he end of the commercial, Common says, "Today, right now you have more power at your fingertips than entire generations that came before you. So here's the question, what will you do with it?" Then it's just a black screen with Microsoft AI on it. Personally, I thought it was an inspiring and well done commercial. It led me to do some research on Microsoft and what they're doing in the world of Artificial Intelligence. Microsoft's website has a lot of information on Artificial Intelligence. There is information on Microsoft's AI platforms, solutions, and recent AI news. The website also talks about how Microsoft products and services already contain AI, like Cortana which is Microsoft's version of Alexa...
