Summary Introduction
To critically think:
Attempting to change the direction of speech to someone else other than the speaker.
Introduction:
As per the short story spoken by the student the group activity was carried out accordingly.
“I got a phone call one day by my dancing trainer, regarding an event coming up. I was asked if I could dance for the event, as I was part of that dance group from the outset. I accepted the invitation and pursued to take part in the respective practices set up building up to the event due date.
The catch of this invitation was that we had to travel for a long time in order to reach the destination where the event would be held. The entire dance group, including me prepared for two day trip (staying one night over). We took a 7 hour journey to the destination which was quite tiring but fun at the same time, as we all travelled with friends.
We reached our destination at night hours, so we were too tired to practice and therefore decided to call it a day and practice tomorrow. Thus, we woke up in the early morning hours and held a practice session before we went ahead for the light/dress rehearsal. We carried out a full rehearsal at the auditorium and came back to the residing hotel to get dressed. We changed into our costumes and got our makeup done and headed back to the auditorium for the event. After the event was over, we had to leave the same day as we didn’t book the hotel for two nights, and as a result we had to come back to the hotel and get changed instantaneously before leaving the destination. After a long day, we left the hotel at midnight and arrived back home in the early hours of the next day.
It was a tiring but even more exciting personal experience which I was able to take part in, and it would be locked away and cherished in my memories forever.”

If every “customer contact is referred to as a moment of truth,” then each of
these moments of truth provides you the opportunity to satisfy or even dissatisfy your customer (Bordoloi, p. 142). In the service industry, customer satisfaction “can be defined by comparing perceptions of service received with expectations of service desired” (Bordoloi, p. 142). When your customer's “expectations are exceeded, service is perceived to be of exceptional quality” (Bordoloi, p. 142). When your customers “expectations are not met; however, service quality is deemed unacceptable” (Bordoloi, p. 142). Therefore, “when expectations are confirmed by perceived service, quality is satisfactory” (Bordoloi, p. 142). Please review Figure 6.1, “Perceived Service Quality,” on p. 142, which graphically represents these expectations, including word of mouth, personal needs, and past experience. As we consider that “quality begins with the design of the service delivery system,” explain what this will look…

Reluctantly, Mr. Munson has agreed to allow the consultant to conduct a study involving the training of all 50 employees.

- Entrepreneurship Management (EM) and Project Management (PM) are among the most popular electives for MBA students. To understand why these electives are popular, a narrative interview was conducted with ten MBA graduates who had selected EM or PM. The findings suggested that MBA students consider these electives as key pathways for enhancing their monetary compensation (i.e., remuneration). As an HR specialist, you are keen to empirically determine whether the choice of electives has a lasting impact on the monetary compensation of MBA graduates. To investigate this, you distributed a questionnaire (same as the one below) to a sample of MBA graduates who obtained their qualification from a prestigious business school in, anonymized as XXX Business School.
