Month: August 2016

Hello! My name is Carmen Li.

My favorite color is blue and my favorite food is sushi! I attended high school at Bronx High School of Science. I began learning how to play the piano when I was around 4 years old, but have no talent to show for it. Currently, I’m working part time at a Korean Skin care store in Queens called Nature Republic.

I haven’t decided on my major yet, but I am interested in management. By studying history, I learn about the different strategies past managers have used to keep the business running smoothly and fairly. I will find out which strategy work and what didn’t. I will also learn about how to start my own business and build my business into something more than a random office on the street.

Hello my name is Matthew Rupolo, but Matt is fine. I was born and raised in Staten Island, New York, I have two amazing parents who have great a appreciation for education and understand the necessity of it. I am greatly interested in computers and always have been since I was little, this is why I believe that the Computer Information Systems(CIS) major is perfect for me since I wish to make a career for myself in the business world. Besides being interesting to me the study of history may become useful to me by showing me how to make proper and successful decisions by drawing on my own history and the history we will be discussing in future classes.

Hi, my name is Yonatan Livian, but people call me Yoni. I come from Great Neck, Long Island, from a traditional Jewish family; one who values my education and views it as a tool to further my future. I hope to one day work in business, although I am not sure which specific field yet. I am a huge sports fan, and I avidly follow college basketball and soccer. To me, studying history plays a vital role in preparing me for my potential future in business. By analyzing past communications, deals, successes and failures, I hope to be able to distinguish between choices which will bring about success and those that will bring about failure.

We will be using this blog extensively over the semester to extend our class discussion beyond the confines of the classroom.
