The self-reflection is considered to be a significantly effective way of expressing the
experience of an incident or event. At times, it is better to learn from the reflection of others
regarding the experience of a situation so that we be able to apply the learning in same sort of
situation in near future (Moon, 2013). Adding to this, the method becomes significantly
helpful as it is time efficient and provides an effortless learning as well (Cottrell, 2017). The
paper is focused in the elaboration of my learning experiences and analyses my intentions
regarding my study at Torrens University and produces the methods in which those intentions
will help me in becoming a professional.
Definition of Business:
According to my consideration, the definition of business is that, it is a set of
activities that involve a number of people with some common values and views regarding the
purpose of the activities which has the success of it, defined in either loss or profit. In
addition this, I identified that different businesses utilises different sorts of resources which
needs to have a coordination framed by a number of individuals. Adding to this, the main
objective of a profitable business, as per my consideration is the generation of the maximum

goals. I do consider myself capable of managing people in an efficient manner and that is

beliefs. In addition to this, my past experience of managing the conflict amongst the members

Majority of the projects included more than 5 members and naturally, there was a lot conflicts
amongst the members of the teams regarding the operations and the methods of operations of
the team which I was able to efficiently manage with the implementation of the effective
communication.

I will make sure that the required outcomes of the course are met through the
evaluation of my skills and competencies of managing a group of people. As the study of
business administration effectively monitors the operations such as the recruitment of the
employees, management of the performances of the employees, performance evaluation and
