What does a Mapping Activity System help us in depicting? (short answer)

2. As we age, we receive and process massive amounts of information. What happens due to this accumulation of information?

a

If these life experiences are unorganized in our "storehouse of life experiences", these experiences/lessons learned will be hard to recall when needed to solve current problems.

b

The larger the amount of information we have stored, the easier it is to receive new information and change our approaches to work.

c

Our brains develop great classification systems so we can pull accurately what information we need quickly to solve complete problems.

d

As we get to a certain age, about 55, the amount we learn stops and thus information in our brains gets easier to organize and use.

3. Which of the following is true about the Info-Action Diagram?

a

If two managers receive the same information, in the same format, with the same clarity, they will most likely take the same action.

b

We as managers are processing information constantly and we accurate assess the information without influence from our past experiences - we just without biases decide with logic.

c

Managers receiving the same information will make different decisions, take different action based often on their different experiences, different abilities and different priorities.

d

None of the above answers sounds accurate.

4.

The Experience Paradox concerns manager's inability to control a large portion of the knowledge gained through experience. What can we do to help this paradox?

a

Create buckets or some filing system to store related information.

b

Our brains are pretty amazing so there is no need to write down what we learn.

c

We should stop trying to learn once our heads are full.

d

Usually managers realize there are only about 10 actions that a manager can use and thus we only pay attention to information that adds to those 10 actions.
