Introduction. Samuel Rodriguez.

[Audio] Hello everyone, my name is Samuel Rodriguez, but you guys can call me Sam. I have cerebral palsy, which affects my speech, so I'm doing this format..

[Audio] The main goal that has led me to this program is to get my master's in accounting. I also wanted to know how businesses work so I could own or help manage one..

[Audio] I learned from past courses that being a team is crucial for a business to succeed. Management of all levels needs to be in synergy with each other. I learned how to be an effective team player..

[Audio] I am available every day except for Fridays at 130 PM MST..

[Audio] I don't have much experience in operations, nor I don't know anyone who works in the field. I am excited to learn more about this concept..

[Audio] When the term " operations" comes to mind, I think about the day-to-day activities of businesses. I think about waiters or waitresses at restaurants that keep them open. They are the lifeblood that keeps them operating..
