WEEK 13

We have no lecture class and lab session in UPM this week. Instead, we went to KLCC Convection Centre for GEC (Global Entrepreneurship Community) Summit 2017.

 Early in the morning, all of us gathered in front of the parking lot near our faculty. This is only the second field trip that we went on in this semester. Thus, definitely all of us are so eager and excited to attend that!

We were told to go and get ourselves register right after we reached KLCC Convention Centre. After receiving briefing from Dr, we straight away went up to the discussion rooms to join the lab session. The one I joined is about E-commerce. Basically, the talk is on how to keep a company, especially the newly formed company to go through series of challenges. The speaker is founder of Rockstart and his name is Oscar Kneppers. He's such a successful entrepreneur and we can know that easily from the way he conducted the lab session. Through his talk, we know that efforts have to be put in to build up your own brand and company. Besides, sharing or interaction between all the entrepreneurs are important too so that their mind can be triggered. Problems faced can then be solved easier. During the Q&A session, it was so interactive as all the participants were asking questions. And Mr Oscar Kneppers answered all of them! To summarize the lab session, that was really a fruitful trip for me.

Then, we went and walked around in the halls, where the GEC Summit had their exhibition. From that trip, we were exposed to so many new stuffs and gained a lot. 

Since Christmas is just around the corner, the whole KLCC is well decorated with Christmas trees, presents and so on and so forth. We even saw Santa! 

In short, that was really a great and memorable day. Thanks Dr for the efforts, all the arrangements and thanks for bringing us there <3 Truly appreciate that.

Our FSM4401 class is on every Wednesday from 10-12pm (tutorial) and 2-5pm (lab). While there was some exception for this week class, as our class had been replaced by websites presentation, CIP-UPM , which means that we had whole day presentation the past Wednesday. The presentation was conducted in one of the meeting rooms at Food 5. It was a brand new experience for us since that was the first time we gave presentation in such meeting room (presentation is usually conducted in classroom ). Everything was fine. Each group was given one hour time to setup, present with Q&A session. During the presentation, we talked on SWOT analysis of WaffleWaffle! At Bkt Serdang and also had an brief explanation on the websites we designed for them. I was the one who start the presentation on that day. A bit regret to say that I was not so in condition while our group was presenting. Kind of blur. Anyhow, it is done and let's improve next time. I have a bunch of lovely teammates. F...

WEEK 14

This week will be the very last week for my semester 6. Today, for FSM4401, we learnt supply chain management (SCM). From that, I get to know that the elements in supply chain can be categorized into upstream and downstream. Orders, information, payments and returns are of upstream while products, services and information are grouped under downstream. Vertical integration is introduced by Dr in class. It has few definition but here, in terms of management and business, it is said as by combining all the suppliers, work can be done effectively. On the other word, it is said to be strategy applied to control all the suppliers, thereby targeted outcome can be achieved easier. Then, we were told that there are total 3 flows in supply chain, known as material flows, information flows and financial flows. These are of the key components as supply chain will not be able to work or function without any of the flow. Our class is continued with the importance of building up a well-s...

We were exposed to 'Blockchain' before our class started today. So, what is Blockchain? "Blockchain is the world's leading software platform for digital assets. Offering the largest production block chain platform in the world, new technology is used and incorporated to build a radically better financial system." While Bitcoin is one of the important components when comes to talk on Blockchain. Bitcoin is a worldwide cryptocurrency and digital payment system. It is called the first decentralized digital currency, as the system works without a central repository or single administrator. However, all this while, this system is only being implemented in foreign countries. Recently, Malaysia is trying to bring in and work on Blockchain. It is said to be will bring convenience to all the industries, thereby contributing to country's economic growth. As Bitcoin which acts as money in virtual form will increase the effectiveness in terms of financial...
