Business through Gaming

We are learning about business through a game

We played the game Gumption.I enjoyed that you can buy property of your choice but you have to be wise too about your money because sometimes,you enjoy buying properties that you don't even notice that your money is gone.The only thing that is not enjoyable is the fact that you have to pay money is you land at the court house and you have to pay money to the owner of the property you land on.The challenge I faced in that game is when you don't have money anymore when you land at the court house you pay what the dice number showed when you role it for example it says 5 you have to pay 500 but you don't have money anymore so you're out of the game.

Machine Fact File

Have you ever wondered how to use a screwdriver? A screw driver is a machine (tool) used for turning or removing screws. A common screwdriver has a shaft, a tip and a handle. The tip is the part that is inserted into the screw head to turn it.

To use a screwdriver,you have to place the screw at the screwdriver tip and hold both screw and tip together with the fingers of one hand. Apply very little pressure on the screwdriver while turning in a clockwise direction until the screw reaches the wood. Put a little pressure to the tip anticlockwise until the screw comes up towards you. Now you know how to use a screwdriver.

What is life without screwdrivers?

It would be harder to live because you can’t screw things on (wall and roof). Without screwdrivers our lives would be harder because we couldn’t tighten bolts without a screwdriver.Without screwdriver you couldn’t tighten TV's,laptops,computers,tables and chairs.

2.What do you do for an average day on the job?

A typical day starts with driving approximately 40 minutes to my office where I will work closely with my boss, co-managers and staff that happen to be in the office.  Many of my staff members are based out of different offices, so I don’t see them every day.  I usually start my day with checking emails, where I receive the bulk of my assignments from upper management and receive notifications from staff on any administrative and technical issues or information.

Most of my day is spent on administrative tasks, problem solving, communicating our efforts to others, organizing, planning and evaluating Section processes, and developing employees.  Administrative tasks include approving time off requests from employees, reviewing budgets and expenditures such as for parts and supplies, and interviewing prospective employees.  Problems can be anything from mechanical issues with the rig to conflicting contractor schedules to determining the funding source for a new priority well site.  Communication on the status of our efforts to others is important and I do this by attending meetings, giving presentations, and making sure our technical reports and data are shared with others.   Future planning for upcoming well sites and needed budgets are also essential, and I continuously evaluate our processes and track our progress, making changes as needed to increase efficiency.   One of my favorite parts of my job is developing employees.  Whether it’s by coaching them on their presentation for the first time or providing them training opportunities, an employee’s success is one of my top priorities.
