  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The company where I have been American methodology. It seems a very proper functioning. In Spain, I've also worked in other companies but with a different methodology and summarizing, I'll take the lessons learned from Johnson. I love the purchasing department and supply chain. It has helped me to define my particular specialty, and now here in UK can continue my studies to work in purchasing, retail, management .. etc. .. because in Spain there is no such expertise
