IBC - Integrated Business Core

IBC, or Integrated Business Core, is a program that BYU-Idaho offers for all its Business Students. It is part of the Junior/Senior year and basically the students take classes (Organizational Behavior, Finance, Supply Chain Management and Marketing) while operating a business on-campus.

Company B, which is the company that I belong to, is running i-bambino, which sells a delicious scone-like pizza pocket called Bambino. We are doing very well. Our stock price is the highest of the four companies, priced at $22 a share. They base the stock price on realistic criteria, which made me very proud.

I am currently the CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) of the company. It has been a challenge for me but I hope I am doing a good job. Again we are all students and we are all learning, but it has been a good experience so far.

Updates

I haven't posted on this blog for a while, and that is because I have been working on things that I could add to it. Since now I have an account with LinkedIn, I decided to keep updating the blog so people can have access to it through LinkedIn.

I will be posting samples of the work that I have been doing, as well as info on where I am standing when it comes to careers.

Again, should you have any questions, please contact me.

ENTREPRENEURIAL MANAGEMENT and INTRO TO ADVERTISING

One of my favorite classes at BYU-Idaho. My two professors, Jason Scott Earl and Craig Bell put a lot of effort into each class.

The course is based on Harvard Case Studies, and each week we discuss two of them. On the third and last day of each week we have a Reflection and Application exercise, in which we discuss the whole week worth of Cases. I really enjoy it because it makes me think about each case and come up with the solution.

So far we have studied a couple modules: Recognizing Opportunity and Marshalling Resources. I am excited to start our new module this upcoming Monday, October 20.

In the meantime I am also putting my Portfolio together for my Introduction to Advertising class. The Portfolio itself is due this Monday. I haven't finished it yet but I am getting close, and I am also very excited to see the final results.

NEW IDEA

Will be posting some of my creations soon. Ana Brinker helped me with the project.
