Last week was spring break. I enjoyed my break, but wish I hadn't gotten sick during it. I'm still not feeling the greatest, but I just have to do what I can to get my homework done.
Week before last I had thought of something I liked while reading the chapter and almost started writing my blog post, but I decided to wait. Well today I have learned my lesson, as I am about to start reading shortly, I am going to have my browser open to write this post. Better I get it on here now, before I forget about it later.
This week we are studying "Marketing Channels and Supply Chain Management", chapter 12 in the text. I've only read a few pages, so far, but I'm enjoying it. I didn't realize how much is involved in making it so I can go buy several items or see several brands at one place, this chapter is illuminating that. For example the difference between marketing channels also known as channels of distribution and supply chains. They are different things.
I actually got a bit confused on some of my definitions in class. I am still not feeling well, so that is a factor. I enjoyed the discussion about Dell and the video discussion about Sephora. Dell's use of JIT(Just In Time) seems pretty common now. I wonder if they are still manufacturing in India. The video quiz was nice. There are so many different types of distribution. I think I might need to review them. I actually made some notes about things I was unsure of. Being the first class after Spring Break, I think it was OK. I need to get back into the studying habit, which will be easier as I feel better.
I found out I don't have to do posts when we have an exam, but I think I will anyway. It's a nice way to sum up and remember what I have learned so far. Reviewing definitions is a good study tip. One that I think I will try and follow before class next week.
