This Blog has been created for my MGT 656 class for MBA at the Murray State University. The goal of this blog is to monitor the public activities of the Family Dollar Corporation in relation to what I am learning and have learned in my studies. I will integrate my professional experiences and perspectives of product sourcing in the wholesale and retail industries to the blog as well.
About Me
- Brent- Family Dollar
- I have a background in sales and product management. I enjoy finding products that make it to the retail shelves and sell. I am wired half creative and analytical. I tend to see both sides of the issue. I know how to approach things rationally and I can switch gears to think “outside the box”. I enjoy traveling. I have had the opportunity to travel to many places in the world: Europe, South America, Asia, and Africa. I try to take on a global perspective when looking at the dynamics that are effecting an industry becasue we are in global economy.
