CMMA Visit

This week our group had the chance to visit the Morbark factory in Winn, MI. I believe that this trip was very rewarding for multiple reasons. While I was not able to see the factory portion of the visit, we did receive a presentation on Morbark prior to actually going into the facility. I believe that this presentation gave me a better appreciation for having a BSBA degree. Many of the concepts that we had learned about in different classes as part of our various core competencies were brought together by Morbark in their value and supply chain. I am currently taking the strategic management class as well and found it particularly interesting to apply those current concepts. I don't believe that any of my other group mates are completing degrees on the BSBA track, so I'm not sure that this was exciting to them. But, for me, I found a significant amount of value in the history and operations section that Mr. Shoemaker presented to us.
