Trevon Bruce's Intro Blog (BA223)

        To first start things off, I am originally from New York. My family and I immigrated to the United States when I was just eleven months old. Our country of origin is the beautiful country of Guyana, located on the Northern coast of South America. It’s a country filled with a variety of wildlife and exotic creatures. Fast-forwarding into my early adult age, I landed my first job as a gymnast coach, teaching young students how to tumble roll and elevate their body swings. A few years later, I grew some courage and enlisted in the Armed Forces.

        After honorably serving in the military, I embarked on a new journey of self-development and intellectual growth, which is what inspired me to enroll in Oregon State University. Aside from the insanely difficult beginning stage, I’ve finally settled in and truly begun to enjoy the new lifestyle. I am a current Supply Chain Management student who is fascinated with the logistics and warehouse industry.

        When I’m not studying course material or following up with emails, I like to get a little “pump” in (calisthenics). After this short workout, I like to go on a 3-mile jog or take a relaxing stroll through the neighboring park trails.

Some of the reasons behind the company's tumble have been the state of the global economy and the supply chain crisis. But, overall, their biggest issue has been displeased customers and substandard performing game releases. Most of the news surrounding Ubisoft has been an expression of unsavory and dislike. Customers rage about the long overdue of three new videogames, but the company still postpones their release dates.            Aside from the company's disturbing condition, they remain afloat. The company upholds its value proposition by offering easily accessible products with a large variety of options. In addition, to

     An interesting article I recently came across was about Amazon’s new venture within the pharmaceutical industry. Just last week, the company launched its services for providing Amazon Prime members access to prescribed generic medications. The company’s subscription plan is referred to as the RxPass (01/24/2023). With it, members have unlimited access to a variety of medications that treat conditions such as high blood pressure, anxiety, and acid reflux.      What’s more interesting is that existing Amazon Prime members not only can receive the benefits of free two-day delivery shipping, Prime video streaming, and low-competitive pricing, but with an additional charge of $5, members can obtain needed medication to treat common medical conditions. In addition, members who are prescribed multiple medications have unlimited access to the available medicines provided by Amazon at just the flat rate of $5, allowing them to save time and money, as opposed to shopping at CVS or Walgreens
