Somebody who is innovative introduces new ideas and is a creative thinker. The Wii Fit is a great example of an innovative product.
The Wii was the first video game system that chose to combine video gaming with exercising and the Wii Fit is one of the ways they are doing this. The Wii Fit is not only fun and interactive, but also allows whoever is playing to get a good workout too. The Wii Fit makes it easy for people of all ages to workout, as it is affordable and can be done anywhere within a person's home. It also makes it harder for kids to come up with excuses as to why they can't workout, since they aren't able to use excuses like they would be able to if they were going to play outside, such as the temperature or the weather conditions.

SAP Distribution Game
1) After all 3 rounds of the game, my team ranked third, only behind the teachers group and one other group.The strategy our team employed was to start off by lowering all of our prices to where we were barely making a profit on them, and then would start raising the prices as we started selling the water. We would also barely advertise for the waters that were selling and advertise a lot for the ones that were barely selling in order to try and maximize our profit.
2) Profit is not the only thing to consider in a real business, it does have high importance though, as it helps keep companies afloat. A sales strategy is most important because it helps to maximize the other factors business. An effective sales strategy will effectively advertise and be able to sell to both genders, all races, and ages.
3) Things that went well in our SAP distribution game is that we were able to effectively sell our water and do so without putting much money into advertising. A couple things that we could have done better are ordering our new shipments more quickly and have been more on top of raising our prices to maximize our profit the best we could.
4)Two things that I took away from doing this activity were the thought processes that go into effective advertising and brief look at some of the different roles that go into effectively running a business.

Apple Firing
Based on how clear Apple had presented their stance on the use of social media to negatively talk about the company, I think that the firing of the employee was fair because he chose to try to get away with it anyway. If I was the employee in that situation, I would feel like I should be given another chance because being fired over one comment seems like a steep punishment. However, the employee would also have to give something back to the company so the company knows they are serious, such as deleting their Facebook account. On the other hand, from the company's perspective, I think the firing would be more than justified because they had warned their employees in the introduction process that they could not say anything negative about the company. It is only the fault of an employee if they chose to disregard the warning they were given in that process and try to get away with disrespecting the company anyway.
