Answer 1

This depends on your career goals.

If you want to be sales and marketing then sales force management.

If you want to be more operationally focused, then supply chain management.

This could also depend on what industry interests you. If it's software, go for sales force management.

If you want to work in a more manufacturing oriented industry, then supply chain management.

If you would like to research further on your own, postulate an industry you would like to pursue a career in. Then choose a couple of the top companies in that industry and look at their financial statements. If the companies have a proportionally high cost of sales, then sales force management is a good choice. If the companies have higher cost of goods sold, then it is more likely that supply chain management will be relevant.



I hope it helps.
