| Supply Chain Management is a rapidly evolving field where the roles and responsibilities for professional managers are constantly changing. Extended supply chains and new technology have increased the job complexity for many of today's SCM professionals. To examine these new responsibilities and required skills I analyze 1,390 SCM advertised positions posted on Monster.comr. Themes derived from computerized manifest text analysis reveal thirty-eight skill-sets of which sixteen influence the salaries posted for these positions. The results have implications for managers attempting find and retain SCM talent, academics identifying areas of inquiry, and for creating and updating operations and supply chain pedagogy. |
