[讨论]如果是采购的话，有没有比较好的MBA项目

采购历来不是一个热门的职业

在很多公司里地位也不重要

但是我有心在这个行业里发展

不知道有没有采购背景申请MBA成功的范例呢？ 有没有哪位了解，有哪些MBA项目可以选择～～

谢谢

Generally procurement has lots to do with supply chain, operation, channel management, logistics, and negotiation.

Also a minor accounting and finance.

you need to know the overall framework of operation and supply chain,

lots of power and negotiation, as well as the concepts of economy of scale and finance, i.e. the time value of capital.

Sales and inventory management are related issues that you may need to co-manage with operation manager.

Teamwork skills and communication skills are constantly facilitated

Also the leadership to drive success in the net of cost structure

Procurement is a common background for MBA applicants. Maybe fewer than other major backgrounds like planing and business development or consulting, but still common.

Also, different schools may have different catagories for procurement

some schools catogorize it in "logistics,"

some put it in "operation" if they don't have supply chain or logistics major.

some even put it in "Sales and Negotiation" and overlap with operation.

generally speaking, prioritize your searching for specialization by:

1. Logistics, (it's a more advanced classification within supply chain)

2. Supply Chain,

3. Operation Management

4. Sales & Negotiation

You can find these under "Curriculum" and then "Specialization"

Thanks a lot for your input. Great help!

What I'm handing now is raw material sourcing of cruid-oil derivatives. I believe there's a lot that I can do in this field, and thus, I'd like to transfer to a more strategic position, of course, still sourcing.

No idea whether the existing MBA can do some help towards my career path
