Full Trip Reflection

As I’ve started my internship, I am able to reflect on the China Immersion Trip and recognize how developing a personal brand and visiting businesses in China has helped me develop as a professional. One thing that I struggled with in China was reflecting on the businesses we visited and the debrief helped me see … Continue reading Full Trip Reflection →

Reflection 5/23

I can’t believe it is our last full day in Shanghai! I really enjoyed Disney’s visit and learning about their marketing tactics and how they’ve introduced American Disney films into the Chinese market while adhering to Chinese regulations. For lunch, I went to the French Concession again and really enjoyed that area! Shanghai is beautiful, … Continue reading Reflection 5/23 →

Reflection 5/22

I love Shanghai! I really enjoyed the AB-InBev visit today. It was interesting to see a company with very western, relaxed culture, because I would have thought a lot of the businesses here have very strict, formal culture. The French Concession was also amazing, I needed a juicy burger in my life.

Reflection 5/21

Today, we saw how Abbott sources and puts its dairy through dry/wet processes to make milk powder and formula. I was so impressed with the safety and sterilization measures they take to ensure a quality, safe product for their customers. The meals are getting repetitive, and I wish that we could rotate the meals with … Continue reading Reflection 5/21 →

Reflection 5/20

Today, we went to the Lion Forest Garden and Silk Factory. The garden was beautiful and it was so interesting to hear the 2000 year old history that Micki told us about the garden, like how there was ghosts there.

I definitely questioned my personal brand statement today when I was late to attendance. I think it’s important to realize that this trip is an opportunity to prepare ourselves for professionalism and being on time in the real world, and I will be sure to be on time for the future. Walking the Great Wall … Continue reading Reflection 4/17 →

Reflection 3

I didn’t feel some aspects of today’s office visits were as engaging as yesterday’s. It was extremely difficult to pay attention in John Deere during the tour. However, I think I should take extra steps individually to engage myself during tours. Reflecting on my personal brand statement on the bus was helpful to remind myself … Continue reading Reflection 3 →

Day 3: 4/15 Reflection

I really enjoyed the structure of BP’s lesson and how they introduced China to us and allowed us a longer Q&A section. I think it was beneficial that they had all people who had come from a different country to China to speak to the transition of learning to work in the Chinese business culture. … Continue reading Day 3: 4/15 Reflection →
