The reflection circle starts with a member of the circle,
writing a note of process about a specific work associated with an issue of
personal development or any other idea that he would want to share in such a
way that he is moving from the inside to the outside in circles. The second
step is all about sharing the note of process with the circle and analysing it.
It is important for the person to know all the surrounding concepts and things
which might be influenced by the main idea or issue. A centring exercise is
normally necessary to assist members who wish to reflect in shifting their
concentration away from their normal activities and to a productive space. Then
it is the responsibility of the member to ensure that he has listed all the
surrounding ideas which might be affected.
As soon as the person ends listing the ideas, the person
can ask himself about the idea on which he wishes to reflect. And the questions
help the person in getting a simple and clear idea of the topic. As the process
continues onward, feedback is obtained, and insights are also achieved. I would
say that circle reflection would help me in getting the most probable solution
and view about the situation in question. Unlike simple contemplation, this
process of feedback is more effective, and it also proves to be narrower than
the general views which are inefficient. And if I need to focus on the idea or
issue only from a general view, then I would focus on the outer circles. This
process is not only simple but also effective and how it would shape my
perceptions depends on the conflict or issue itself (Kapteyn.).
If I have to look at globalisation using the process of reflection
circle, then I would find both benefits and drawbacks, which will influence my
organisation. From a broader perspective, globalisation offers the opportunity
to business which it can use to internationalise itself in such a way that its
reach increases and newer segments of audience are opened. The organisation can
target these segments with the right advertising strategies in such a way that
customers can be attracted, and sales can be increased. From a broader
perspective, this is an opportunity that firms normally don’t get without a lot
of investment. However, a threat is also developed, which is concerned with the
fact that competition is increased significantly on an international level.
There are various organisations which are operating in the same industry, and
it serves to increase the competition for the firm. To best them all, the firm
has to compete effectively.
From a narrower perspective, the benefit would be concerned
with the expansion of the organisation and the firm would be able to grow in
such a way that the revenue of a firm would increase. Again, it is very
beneficial for a firm to increase its revenues in such a short amount of time.
However, a significant threat is posed to the financial aspects of the firm
because a significant investment is needed for internationalising and competing
with other firms (Lin).
