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.
