Week 2
Assignment:
* Collaborate with your learning team to discuss the previous week’s objectives. * Discuss what you learned, what could be applicable to your workplace or personal life, and how your knowledge has increased as a result of what you experienced through the learning activities in the previous week. * Submit your team summary of the discussion in a 1- to 2-page Microsoft® Word document.

There were many differences between the two and I found that in my career I have been using both without knowing it at first. The individual assignment was probably the most informative portion of the week because I was able to learn more about the business systems and am now able to apply them to where I work now.

Additionally, I learned that the system and applications used in a business depend on the need and
