Dialogue with Venzee Marketing Intern, Matt Blattman

What this episode covers

In this episode, Venzee CEO, John Abrams, speaks with the company’s Marketing Intern, Matt Blattman, about how newcomers to the supply chain world perceive business operations and how work will be conducted in the future. Matt is a rising senior at the University of Michigan studying Cognitive Science with a focus on the thinking behind decision making. In his Decision and Cognition track of study, he studies psychology, decision making, game theory, and rationality. His background allows him to assist supply chain managers with providing the pertinent product information to consumers with a decision-making process in mind. John and Matt compare the decision making process when it comes to online versus in-person shopping and communicating product information in the online marketplace. John’s recent experience in quarantine has had him doing all of his shopping online, and he noticed how much bad information is available to consumers in online marketplaces, which begs the question, why do manufacturers allow such oversight? This episode ends with some additional questions surrounding both manufacturer and consumer behavior. Look forward to the continuation of this conversation in a future episode.
