Select a project that you have worked on before. Describe the problem and how you approached solving it.
Even before anyone said anything to me, I could sense the tension in the office when I walked in that day. Wrapped up in the work I was still completing for the Nestle account, I still kept my ears pricked for information. There is nothing I like more than solving a problem, and many of my employees already knew this. I believe some of them were deliberately not telling me what was going on just so that they could have an opportunity to tackle the issue themselves and prove they could handle it!
Then I felt the eyes on me. First it was just two of my colleagues, and then three, and finally our supervisor approached me. Hey, Yu Chen! I looked up with raised eyebrows. Got a minute? Our team held an impromptu meeting fifteen minutes hence, during which they informed me about their latest challenge. One of our accounts was having an issue: Mercedes-Benz Stadium. I was secretly thrilled but did not let on how much; I did not want them to think that I was trying to steal their thunder. So I casually listened to the issues at stake. Those issues mainly had to do with the fact that the stadium was way over budget. Everyone knew that already, so of course that was the main reason why our firm was hired for initial needs analysis and process review. As gorgeous as the finished product was, we needed to assess what the client could do to manage costs and we all knew that improved forecasting would be...…ongoing needs, and responding to fluctuations in their own inflow and outflow.
From resolving these problems, I learned the importance of strategic communications in business analytics and supply chain management. While in the Masters program at the University of Southern California, I will be responding to similar challenges during our real-time research working on live projects. Just as I relished the opportunity to work on the Mercedes-Benz Stadium even while tackling the Nestle account simultaneously, I look forward to the multiple challenges and opportunities I will have at USC. Having already acquired my green belt in Lean Six Sigma and having worked in strategic management, I feel prepared to take my career to the next level. USC is the perfect place for me to do so. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to seeing you soon in Los…
5 billion category. The sales enhanced to U.S. $69.5 billion in 2003. The energy bar market is a new venture of Nestle. The purchase of Power Bar Inc., the innovator of the energy bar, places very nicely to rule supreme in the field. Nestle joined with Pillsbury's Haagen-Dazs associate to produce a new company to mix Nestle's 'frozen novelties' with Haagen-Dazs' U.S. frozen dessert business. (Chocolate, coffee, and pet care?) The
The workers had essentially no recourse if the Thai government was not willing to prosecute their case. The baby formula case does not likely result is illegal actions, but some of the marketing practices undertaken by Nestle can be considered unlawful in light of the World Health Organization's International Code of Marketing Breast Milk Substitutes. Nestle made a commitment to adhere to this code in their Infant Formula Charter. Yet,

Moving away from bottled water will actually solve many of the current ethical quandaries as well as freeing up capital for more profitable and sustainable pursuits; divestment of the bottled water subsidiaries or their slow dismantlement is recommended. Finally, Nestle must focus efforts more intensively on emerging markets. CONCLUSION Nestle is definitely poised to regain what stature and profitability it has lost in the current economic crisis, through intensive marketing campaigns
Governments in these developing countries also may have issues with foreign companies expanding within their borders.
