Introduction

The power of experiential learning emphasizes the breadth of its reach, including work-based learning (WBL), ships, and work placements which may be part of a work-integrated learning program such as co-operate. Workers can hone their reflective skills to critically appraise what has been experienced through practice (Vărzaru, 2022, p. 2256). A reflection essay is a piece of writing in which the author examines their own experiences, ideas, and feelings.

This structure will help clearly and concisely convey my reflections logically and coherently.

My group was assigned the topic, “Effect of Cloud Computing technology on management accounting, decision-making, and operations management.” This report will examine my performance during the group project and offer recommendations for improving my performance. It will also contain a thoughtful review of the entire process, including the planning, designing, and presentation phases. We settled on Disney Plus and Netflix as our two host organizations.

Reflection on Contribution to the Research Project and Host Organization

What?

My group was given the topic of how cloud computing technology affects decision-making. My team members and I got together to discuss how to divide the team’s chores; mine was to examine the literature review I conducted by looking up past studies (Vărzaru, 2022, p. 2257). Although it was challenging to select a host organization because we could not find enough research-related articles and data, Netflix and Disney Plus were generally agreed upon. Secondary information from the chosen businesses was employed to obtain sufficient knowledge about how cloud computing technology has impacted and aided them. Netflix and Disney Plus Streaming are entertainment firms. Hence they were chosen (Shi and Ding, 2022, p. 713). My team chose these two companies because they have successfully migrated to cloud computing technology

My group consisted of a great team of people, and we decided to conduct research as a team. We had several face-face meetings. After having our physical session in school, we had discussions on Microsoft teams and WhatsApp messenger as a communication tools. Emails were also used to communicate messages with each other. (Appendix A).

During my research, my team member and I looked at the strategies adopted by companies because of the digital disruption forcing companies to rethink. We aim to understand what cloud computing and digital ways of working means for a business and how a business can successfully implement Cloud Computing Technology, weighing its pros and cons and yet embracing cloud computing technology. The objective was t determine the effect of Cloud computing on management accounting, decision-making, and operations management in Organizations that have successfully migrated (Shi and Ding, 2022, p. 713). To examine how businesses can leverage Cloud Computing to improve the standard of operation and provide recommendations on the success factors of Cloud Computing deployment.

For the project presentation, we were to show our progress report to our tutor, and all individual research was sent to me to combine. I had a physical meeting with my team members to overview and make amendments where needed before the presentation. I handled the literature review and part of the introduction. It initially took much work to find substantial materials to support the research. However, after much persistence and extensive research, I found some articles and journals on google scholar. It was intense for me in the weeks as I had a pending course, making me not have all the necessary concentration. However, this was resolved in the coming weeks, and because of this, I prompted myself to concentrate on my project. I saved all the documents on Microsoft word. Other team members submitted their quota, and I combined all documents in one Microsoft word document.

So what?

I am incredibly interested in researching cloud computing technology, as my first degree was in computer science. Cloud computing is an emerging business model that provides shared access to computer infrastructure, software, and services (Saini and Khandelwal, 2019, p. 34). Cloud computing is now a standard way of operating for most companies, and organizations that do not leverage it will be left behind
