Team Dynamics

Group dynamics is the study of groups, and also a general term for group processes.

Group is a number of people that work together, share certain beliefs and common
identity, or are connected to each other by social relationship. Criteria for a group
include also a face-to-face interaction, two or more people in the group, common goals,
interdependence, self-definition as group members and recognition by others. Every
group has to pass 4 phases of Team Development (forming, storming, norming and
performing) which form, reinforce and build up a strong team.
Team or Group Dynamics are the unseen forces concerning the fluid and on-going
interaction between and among team members, their actions and reactions. Team
dynamics can strongly influence how team or group behave, react or perform. Team
members and team dynamics have to depend on and support each other to accomplish a
shared goal. Effective Team Climate can be created by fostering social support (mutual
respect and support enhance team climates), encouraging proximity (closer contacts
promote team interaction), creating distinctiveness (the more distinct the group feels, the
better climate will be).

Marketing

The purpose of this report is to outline a marketing strategy for part time IT courses

in National College of Ireland. Working with a fixed budget of €15,000, which may be
increased or decreased in a negotiation, we wanted to maximize the impact of our
campaign without the need for a substantially increased budget . In order to complete this
task we researched many areas, who is our target market, what is the competition, what
can NCI offer and how can we attract customers to our brand.

We shall first look at what part time courses are available at NCI, then look at what
the competition has to offer. We will also look at who our target market is. Why should
they choose NCI over any other institution? Finally, we shall outline our strategy for
negotiating the budget, aiming for an increase in spending but also a strategy for
maintaining our budget and a contingency plan if it to be reduced.

“Family, religion, friends.. these are the three demons you must slay if you wish to
succeed in business.”
Monty Burns

The purpose of this report is to outline our idea for a new business and why it would
be profitable. We will outline the direction we have taken for our business idea, the
reasons why we believe it would be successful and discuss our strategy for promoting our
product.
With the worlds economy currently enduring a downturn, coming up with a
economically viable business idea is no small order. With the exception of writing that
one Christmas hit or Country and Western song that would provide for you for life, we
decided to look at what industries have maintained good returns.
During our research we found that during these times of recession the smart phone
and gaming market have remained strong.
