Human Computer Interaction. Activity Theory

Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Information Management, grade: very good, , language: English, abstract: Vygotsky, L., Leont'ev, A. N., and Luria, A. R. have invented the activity theory in the early 19th century (Miller, C., 2008). 'Activity theory is a conceptual framework based on the idea that activity is primary, that doing precedes thinking, that goals, images, cognitive models, intentions, and abstract notions like 'definition' and 'determinant' grow out of people doing things' (Morf, M. E. & Weber, W. G., 2000, p.81).

I am a soon-to-be freshly minted Techpreneurship graduate from Harrisburg University of Science and Technology. In combining a rigorous academic experience with professional roles in the public and private sector, I have exemplified my keen ability to troubleshoot difficult problems, collaborate on teams, and develop strong relationships with a wide array of audiences. Recognized for improving operational optimization, I have a verifiable history of professional success as both an intern, student, and worker. Professional focal points include business development, entrepreneurship, IT systems, team leadership, process improvements, cross-functional team collaboration, and project management. Currently, I am an Operations & Project Management Intern with 1 Atelier. My professional experiences have been primarily in the fashion industry, however, I am seeking new opportunities within the technology sector and will soon have a graduate degree that supports that career path. Having completed courses such as Business Strategy and Management, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and Economics of Scale, I have gained valuable insights into the intersection of technology and business. I am a self-starter with a pioneering spirit who is resourceful and able to take ownership of tasks quickly and reliably. I bring management experience and a willingness to take on added responsibility to meet tight deadlines. Colleagues and professors describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, enthusiastic team player with a strong work ethic and diligent problem-solving skills.
