Unit 1: Unit 1: Introduction to MT400 – Discussion
Note: In this course, there are two Discussion topics in every discussion. You must provide a primary response to both of them by Saturday at midnight, and respond to two others for each topic question before the end of each unit. Therefore, each week, you should have a total of at least six posts over 3 separate days.
In this course, you learn the steps in improving and managing processes. The book uses the term “phases” to describe the general steps in business process management (BPM). The assignments in this course follow these phases and together constitute a large project. In each of the assignments for the next 9 weeks, you will be applying the phase(s) that you learned that week to a process. By the time you get to Unit 10, you will have walked through the entire sequence of phases that is recommended by the book for effective BPM.
The process that you will use is important because you will be working with it throughout the entire course. You will select this process in Unit 1. You will use the Discussion topics this week to get a good understanding of what a “process” is and what “business process management” entails. This discussion should help prepare you for the Unit 1 Assignment, in which you will select the process that you will be using for the rest of the course.
Take extra time this week to read what kinds of processes are being described by your classmates. Use the discussion to focus on a good selection for your assignment.
Comparing Definitions
Before the class gets into business process management, you need to understand what a “business process” is. For this Discussion topic, do the following:
First, research and cite two different definitions for “business process.” Do not cite two definitions that are very similar. Then, compare these definitions and answer the following:
• What different elements do they cover?
• How are their approaches different? Which one do you think is better?
Hello Dr. Childers and classmates;
The meaning of business process management is the discipline of managing processes (rather than tasks) as the means for improving business performance outcomes and operational agility. Processes span organizational boundaries, linking together people, informational flows, system and other assets to create and deliver value to customers and constituents.

Business Process Examples
For this Discussion topic, do the following:
Based on your understanding from the definitions you researched in Discussion topic 1, describe two examples of a business process from your professional experience. For each process, clearly state: the objective, the scope (where the process begins and ends) and a brief description of those involved (is this a one person process, or do multiple people get involved?).
In your research, you will find that some definitions of “business process” are not very specific. Some sources will suggest that “marketing” or “accounting” are processes, but these are too vague and large in scope for your purposes. Some other examples will be too specific or limited in their scope, such as preparing a tax form or ordering office supplies.
In this course, the process you select for the Unit 1 Assignment will need to be detailed enough to provide you with a basis for analysis over 10 weeks. As you progress through the course, you will need to look at elements such as the connection of this process to company strategy, metrics and goals of the process, stakeholders and team members involved, etc. Since you are using this Discussion topic as a preparation for the Unit 1 Assignment, try to pick two examples that will provide you with enough information without being too general. Your instructor will provide you with additional guidelines and feedback. If you have found a good example in this Discussion, you will be ready for completing the Assignment.
This section lists options that can be used to view responses.

Unit 1: Assignment
Our book proposes a business process management (BPM) model that consists of 10 phases. Over the next few weeks, as you learn about each of these phases, you will be applying the concepts to a specific business process. The Assignments in this course constitute a course-long project in which you will evaluate various aspects of this process.
You will select the process you will use in this Assignment. You will prepare the foundation for your project by identifying a real-world organization that would benefit from applying the business process management (BPM) model in the workplace. You may select the

Discuss two or more media texts that you would define as postmodern and explain why you would give them this label.
The often invoked concept of postmodernism appears to have become a generally applicable label to account for all phenomena in our current post-industrialised society that we are otherwise at a loss to explain. Some regard it as an anarchistic current and chaotic paradigm, whereas others believe it to be a manifestation of plurality and individual freedom. The geographer David Harvey makes the argument that time and space become less stable and comprehensible and more confused and incoherent because of the speed of modern mass communications, and the relative ease and rapidity with which people and information can travel. Postmodernism expresses these confusions and distortions and is, thus, less likely to reflect coherent senses of space or time.
This trilogy of lectures will introduce some of the most prominent theorists of postmodernism as well as their theories, which will be brought into consideration. Baudrillard, like other postmodernists, contends that everyday reality and media have become blurred. Individuals obtain what they experience as real knowledge about the real world from the media, but this is actually reproduced knowledge about an entirely simulated or reproduced world – the hyper real. We watch TV, where soap opera characters are depicted by the newspapers as real people and we can take a vacation in Las Vegas, where we can find Venetian canals and pyramids – images that are more real than the thing they are supposed to represent.
We will examine the postmodern paradigm at work, explores what the term ?�postmodern’ actually refers to and how it relates to a range of media texts. We will investigate how the themes of time and space are represented in postmodern works and look at examples of films and television series which deliberately set out to play with the viewer’s perceptions of reality, like Jam, the comedy sketches by Chris Morris or the reality TV show Big Brother. Films to be discussed will include Wim Wenders’s Wings of Desire (Himmel über Berlin), Tom Tykwer’s Run Lola Run (Lola rennt) and John Crowley’s Intermission. Postmodern media rejects the distinction between high and low art. All judgements of value are merely personal taste. Therefore, anything can be art and deserves to reach an audience. With this in mind we will allow the cast of The Mighty Boosh to take us “on a journey through time and space”.
