Synthesis Post.

Throughout this semester and working on the blog project, we learned the diversity in the field of business. Amos is pursuing supply chain management, Yue is pursuing finance, and Alex is pursuing agricultural business. Since we, as a team, all are pursuing different majors in the business field, we have come to the conclusion that everything in business is connected essentially. Which is why our blog is titled “Business Diversified”. From our blog, we want students pursuing a major in the business field at Michigan State University to understand that business is a very diverse field, educationally intensive , a unique language to understand. But there are many ways to succeed is such a diverse field and always remember, everything is merely business.

    Business is something that will always be present and relevant in our world. Our society incorporates business in many ways. Here at Michigan State University, there are many business degrees students can pursue. Just to name a few more than our intended majors, there is economics, marketing, and hospitality business. Just by looking at this list, there are a multitude of ways to study business at such a huge university. On our blog, Alex talks about slaying common stereotypes associated with business majors, Yue talks about what finance actually means, and Amos talks about what IT workers are now learning since business is consuming everything. Just from these blog posts, it’s evident business is all around us today. “From the corn field to Wall Street, almost all parts of our lives are associated with one form of business to another” (Alex para 3).

Since business is such an important aspect of our society today, the workload for business students at Michigan State University will not be a cakewalk. Amos talks about some of the requirements necessary to apply to the famous Eli Broad College of Business after your first year here. Along with applying to the business college, students should still be aware that business is a very competitive field and you’ll be working vigorously amongst your peers to pursue the major of your choosing in the business college. However, the workload as a business student at Michigan State University will prepare students for what comes next in the future such as jobs and internships.

Jobs:

Major	Agricultural Business (Alex’s major)	Supply Chain Management (Amos’ major)	Finance (Yue’s major)
Jobs associated with major	Commodity Trader Consultant Farm Owner or Manager Manufacturing Manager	Logistics Manager Supply Chain Manager Purchasing Manager Operations Research Analyst	Investment Banker Financial Analyst Credit Manager Real Estate Officer

Along with the other aspects of business, learning the language is just as important to be successful in such a diverse field. While talking to business men and women, you’ll learn what they have done to build their businesses from the ground up. After Amos talked to his grandmother, who is an owner of her own business, we learned how communication is essential for success in the business world. We also looked at how business is all about the connections made throughout the journey. Many business men and women possess a unique vocabulary and of course, play golf when determining if if they want to accept or decline a deal from someone. From our blog posts, communication is crucial when talking in a world revolving around business.

Although from this post it appears business is very dense, there are many ways to get involved and make understanding business so much easier. All around campus, there are many communities to help students dive into aspects of business. Amos discusses one club out of hundreds which travels mostly and helps students understand business on an international perspective.  You have to become involved with this major and meet people while building lifelong connections. From a blog post, Amos talks about what Dan Deucuester, a successful businessman and entrepreneur, means by benign manipulation. You also want to be sure your resume is top-notch with as much experience as possible as Alex discusses in a blog post.

From our blog, we give a great amount of information about all different types and fields of business. Working together with our combined skills and knowledge of business, we were able to create a blog that any business student or business minded person will find interesting and helpful in the long run. Reading our posts can help students relate to other students as well as prepare them for what they might find during and after college. From our blog, we want everyone to ponder and understand how everything is merely business.
