12/8 Presentations

Overall, today's presentations were excellent. Among the best was Brian's presentation on the Pittsburgh Pirates. Not only was his PowerPoint visually attractive with few words and great use of pictures, but he also specified that he was using the Goal Attainment Approach and he based his whole organizational analysis around this approach, therefore putting a different spin on his presentation. I feel that taking this approach to my organizational analysis may have made it a bit easier to construct and also made it easier to follow when reading and explaining it. The other presentation that really stuck out to me was Alyssa's on Pop Warner. This was of interest to me because I had never heard of Pop Warner and listening to her presentation broadened my horizon a bit. I really enjoyed the presentations that were on unfamiliar topics; they kept me intrigued through the entire presentation. Being unfamiliar with the YMCA is mainly why I chose that as my topic, I wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about the YMCA as a business organization.
