Special post- praciting

Last summer, when I went China, my parents asked to go to their friend's company, and worked there for 20 days. I was not very happy to work there at first, because I haven't been long time to go home and meet my friends,  I didn' t want to waste time on the intership. But after I worked for one week, I found there were a lot of things I can learn and I needed to learn. It is very interesting.
As I know, they had a big project, they were planning to build a big storage for storing madecine. The stuff told me, A good storage is very significant for a supply chain company, and it is also an important part of whole process. And this projcet just begun, and it needed many requirements, such as composition, temperature, qulity of machines, waterproof, etc. And many things I've never seem before. My job was printing documents, cleaning the officeroom, and some little things. Although they didn't let to deal the documents, I think the work experience was very important for me. Because I was not graduated yet, and I didn't know anythings about Suppy Chain Management. I think next time I go to his company, I will do more things and learn more things.

Section One: Learning about my filed

 

       During my research I've learned many things of my major Supply Chain management, such as what's Supply Chain management? How is the development prospect of this major? What kind of job can I find after graduating, and so on. Those questions are all I asked my friend who has same major as me before I writing the blog. And now, I find all the answers by doing this research.

       At first, the basic ethics, what is Supply Chain Management? Supply Chain Management is the basic principle of application management and scientific method, the logistics activity plan, organize, command, coordinate, control and supervision and make the logistics activities to achieve the best coordination and cooperation, and reduce logistics cost and improve logistics efficiency and economic benefits.

       In addition, what is the most significant things of Supply Chain management? There are three major functions of logistics. First, creating time value: same goods can be valued different at different times. Goods often stop during the transfer process, which is professionally called the storage of logistics. It creates the time value for goods. Second, creating location value: same goods can be valued differently at different locations. The value added during the transfer process is the location value of logistics. Third, distribution processing value: sometimes logistics create distribution processing value, which changes the length, thickness and packages of the goods. Like popular saying, “ cutting into smaller parts” is the most commonly seen distribution processing within logistics create added value for goods.

       Finally, this question is all the students care about. What kind of job can we find after we graduating? Actually, in our daily live, logistics is around us. People wants delivery some food, it is logistics; people wants buy some stuffs online, and ups send it to you, it is logistics; hospital stores a lot of medicines in storage, it is logistics; etc. Therefore, students maybe easier for find a appropriate job after graduating, because logistics is related to many industries. From my blog post, there are some data to show employment rate and salary of students graduate by Supply chain management. "The Institute for Supply Chain Management’s 2011 survey shows that the average salary for supply chain management professionals is $103,664, up from $98,200 a year earlier. The average entry-level professional supply management salary is about $49,500, but the average salary of those with five or fewer years of experience is $83,689, up from $72,908 in 2010, an increase of nearly 15 percent." So, it is a good major that students can choose, and it will be a big thing in the future.

 

 Section Two: Learning about my Research/Writing

 

       After doing this project, I learned a lot interesting and significant things of my major, and I realized this major is good for me. Because Supply Chain Management of MSU is ranked by two of whole American universities, and firstly I have already had a good study environment for doing my work. Personally, Before I came to America, my parents chose the major for me which is Supply Chain Management. They told me, logistics is a newest industry in China, and it is not complete. A lot of small companies appeared and many people chose to join this industry. When I finish my study at America and go back China, I will easy to find a good job, or I can establish a new company, and other companies to competition. Moreover, according my research, there are some date shows the salary of this industry in American is very impressive. So I can also find a job at America after graduating. There is another benefit that I gained after this research, I learned many useful and helpful knowledge about my major. Although the information that I found was not comprehensive and detailed, it is also a good way to prepare to take my major courses and it tells me what I will learn and what I need to learn in the future.

       On the other way, I have to read some article for writing those blogs. During this project, I read a lot of article online, some of those article are related to my major, and some of them are about many interesting news or things. When I reading those article, I felt I was uneducated, and I felt I have a lot of things to know, to learn, not only my major's information. How can a person to be a successful businessman? He is not only good at his filed, but also must know much about other filed, and his knowledge must be very widened. My father is a good businessman, and he read newspaper every day, and he is also interested in reading different kinds of books. He used to tell me, read more books, learn more, and never stop.

       I asked some questions before doing the research, and they were all solved. But now, I am feeling I have more questions in my mind, and I am willing to take my major courses to solve more question.

Renren, the most popular social-networking service in China. I have been using it for 3 years and what I saw everyday from my homepage, is at least one of my friends or school mates register in this social-network. It is undeniable that Renren is a really appropriate way to meet friends or making friends whom you didn't know. The fact is I did really meet some of my classmates who out of touch for so long.
Also, people post their status, articles and photographs. And people were interested in those would share information about what they saw and what they liked. So, even people stay home for all day, they still know what was happening around them or the world.
But those benefits also has some bad influences. People start to try to know everything from this social-networking. They didn't read papers, stop watching news. But social-networks are basically different from web portals, they had big numbers of personal ideas and opinions. And those are easy to change your point of views which might be dangers in some points.

Special post- argument

After I read the artcle "The Importance of Education in Supply Chain Management", I think education of Supply Chain Management in China is not complete and enough. In America, there are many good universities are good at this filed, such as MSU. That's why my parens sent me to MSU to learn this major. However, a good learning environment and high qulity education is not enough. Students should do a lot social work, such as intership in a big supply chain company, or realiza the
global logistics dynamic. Because after we graduate and go out to find a job. Those companies are not only care about our degree, but also experience of this job.
I have many friend choose this major, and they are also searching for a big company to have an intership. But it is hard to find an intership in America as a international students. Therefore, I suppose to find an intership when I go back China next summer, before I graduate. It will be more helpful to me in the future.

Originally, its meaning comes from oral marketing that when people feel good about the product, they can talk about it to other people. Therefore, the marketing can be done by customers mouth-to-mouth. In the past, the marketer use viral marketing by providing products free for customers.(actually this free offer is done these days; for example, one film producer can attract a lot of people by making soundtrack free for download). However, the concept of viral marketing has been changed. Viral marketing (also called viral advertising) is a term that describes marketing techniques that the effect of marketing is spread like a virus. Viral marketing is used by methods of “social-networking site, video, flash games, images, etc” With this method, marketers can reach a lot of people.

Three major functions of logistics.Creating time value: same goods can be valued different at different times. Goods often stop during the transfer process, which is professionally called the storage of logistics. It creates the time value for goods.  Creating location value: same goods can be valued differently at different locations. The value added during the transfer process is the location value of logistics. Distribution processing value: sometimes logistics create distribution processing value, which changes the length, thickness and packages of the goods. Like popular saying, “ cutting into smaller parts” is the most commonly seen distribution processing within logistics create added value for goods.

Those three points are the most significant part in Supply chain management.

special post- remix

 I read  a artcle is talking about the trend of devolopment of Supply chain management in the future. Compare with other industries, Supply chain management is a new industry and it has great development poential.
I think the artcle is audience is busenessman who work on this filed and people who study of this filed. The author wants people to realize this strange major more. This artcle is esay to understand because the rhetoric is informal and simple. I think the author wants more and more people to read the artcle and it will be easy for them.
