This forum has a very diverse audience. Eighty percent (80%) of the visitors are working in mainland China with the rest 20% from rest of the world. A typical reader in China would have around 5 years of professional experience with some over 10 years. Lots of them are working for multinationals in sourcing, procurement, logistics or supply chain field. Majority people are entry level managers or specialists, while some are senior managers or directors. Career development is by far of most interest among these professionals. In this rapidly developing country, there are abundant opportunities but the new generation often gets lost in their career choices. They jumped from one company to another with lots of big company names on their resume, but career wise many of them are poorly planned or managed. That's why this forum dedicated a lot of resources on career development.

This forum attracts thousands of Chinese speaking professionals outside China. Most of these professionals are educated in both China and Western countries. Some of them have got or are pursuing their MBA in supply chain at top schools such as Arizona State University, Michigan State University, University of Wisconsin Madison, Ohio State University, University of Tennessee and Purdue University. These are highly sought after professionals as China becomes a critical piece of global supply chain - they speak both Chinese and English, know Western and Asian culture very well, and are very well educated and experienced in supply chain management. They will be playing a bigger and bigger role as they become more established in their profession.
