reflecting and researching

top 3 things I learned about my field:

1: Marketing and the Advertising have the deep relationship that we can learn both of the knowledge of them.

2:Advertising and Marketing have some common elements like the target, desigh, purpose, customers, management, and so on...

3:This major has two seperate department that we can choose, one is the design, the other one is the management.



Top 3 things I learned about myself as a researcher:

1: My major is advertising, I need to do a lot of presentations and researches in the future.

2: If I taking this major, I need to pay attention on all the advertisements when I was shopping in the mall and the supermarkets, also on TV and other places.

3: To be a good designer should have some inspiration from life.

Questions about my field that I still have:

1: Is it easy to find a job in America after I graduate from university?
2: What should I do if I am a manager of the advertising in a company?

practicing my knowledge


before I came to America, my parent wanted me to take the major of Math. That was my favorite major before, but after I graduate from the high school in china, I thought I'm sick of taking that course anymore. So I changed my major to the marketing. I took some basic courses of the college of business, they was not that easy and I have to calcuate a lot of numbers, I found i'm not good at that. After come to the U.S., I am really interested of the advertisements. They usually showed by using the short videos and some pictures also some simple sentences, but can give people the deep impression of that product. The advertising is awesome in my heart and I fall in love of taking this course. In this semester, the ADV 205 is my favorite course and our professor always gave us some activities after the class. such as doing some researches, explain an advertisement that you like mostly, make some slogan about the the products you want to sale in the store. It sounds easy and I really enjoy these homeworks. I started to pay attention of all the advertisements when I was shopping in the mall, the supermarket, also watching the TV. During the summer, I want to find the part time job in china to learn more knowledge about the advertising and markeing. I love this major and I will try my best to learning this.

In the U.S., people can't smoke in the rooms, restanrants, or other public places, but in china, people can smoke everywhere. That is really bad.

economic

Reference price effects exist on quantity purchased and on the transaction pricing outcome in business-to-business market transactions. For each product, it has some basic elements like the cost price, demand, supply, profit and so on. We can learn that the price sometimes is depending on the customers demand. Buyers can control the market to some extent. The second result is Business customers react asymmetrically to price increases and price decreases. The last one is Salespeople have their own reference prices that affect the transaction price. For each company, their workers like the market analyst will estimate and analyze the tendency of market. If you trying to get a good discount and talking with the seller, even though they make the price lower, they still can earn the profit within their expect.
 
 

business

The article, “Making Advanced Analytics Work For You,” shows the ways in which companies should develop analytics to produce the most profit.  This allows businesses to constantly monitor their own processes and procedures and identify inefficiencies, which can then be corrected.  Thus, this article is directed at managers and administrators, those who need reliable data to make informed decisions on the best ways to make changes in their respective organizations.  The author states his purposes quite explicitly: 
First, companies must be able to identify, combine, and manage multiple sources of data. Second, they need the capability to build advanced analytics models for predicting and optimizing outcomes. Third, and most critical, management must possess the muscle to transform the organization so that the data and models actually yield better decisions. Two important features underpin those activities: a clear strategy for how to use data and analytics to compete, and deployment of the right technology architecture and capabilities.   (Adler)
