Diversity in the
"Field" of Business
Although
many think of business as dressing up in a suit and going to a 9-5, there is a
dirtier side of business not many think about. Every time we enjoy an apple or
take a bit of a steak countless sales calls and other business moves went into
producing that food and moving it from farm to table. Most do not think of a fertilizer, seed, and chemical salesman as
the stereotypical business man. However, these men and women work hard in order
to buy and resell products that farmers need. As an agricultural business major, I see a
great combination between business and agriculture.
Although
most don’t wear a suit to work, there are little differences between agbusiness
and conventional business. Both work with clients for a mutual benefit. Agbusiness men make sure that they keep their
customers happy by visiting farms, personally checking on the crops, and even
giving discounts and perks for doing business with them. Similar to a small
business owner meeting with customers, making sure they are happy with their product,
and offer incentives when product is purchased.
All in all, business is all around
us at a times all times in all different forms. From the corn field to Wall Street
almost all parts of our lives are associated with one form of business to
another. Done by Alex Comstock
Alex,
ReplyDeleteI found your post eye opening because when i think of a businessman I immediately jump to the conclusion of a suit and tie. I now see the agricultural side of business and know that they work just as hard, if not harder than the ones in a suit and tie.
