International Survey: Talent development in SCM

Given the fact that the complexity of global supply chains has increased constantly it is not surprising that the demands on supply chain managers have changed. Today, they need to possess different competencies than in the decades before, since SCM has evolved from a support to a strategic core function. In this context, practitioners and researchers concur that HRM issues are a critical element in today's supply chains. The human factor plays a major role: a supply chain can also be regarded as human chain, as it is driven by human interaction. We want to gain new insights about this intersection of management fields. Those insights are of special importance to the SCM community as previous research about those interrelations has been insufficient.  

We invite anybody to participate who considers him-/herself knowledgeable about his/her company's SCM activities.  Completion of this questionnaire will take less than 15 minutes.  To show our gratitude for your participation, we will fund 5 vaccinations against measles for children in developing countries for every completed questionnaire.

To request participation, simply send an eMail including your company's mail signature to christoph.floethmann(at)the-klu.org.

Subsequently, we will send you the link to the survey ASAP.

International spørgeskemaundersøgelse: Talentudvikling i Supply Chain Management

Med dette studie søger vi at afdække, hvordan kompetencer i supply chain management (SCM) udvikler sig - og kan udvikles - i samspil med human ressource (HR) - og knowledge management. 

Stigende kompleksitet i globale forsyningskæder indebærer, at kravene til såvel organisatoriske som individuelle styrings- og ledelseskompetencer i SCM stiger.  Nye og anderledes kompetencer i feltet er nødvendige, især hvor SCM har udviklet sig fra at være en støttefunktion til at være en strategisk kærnefunktion. Praktikere og forskere i feltet er i dag enige om, at HR er et kritisk element i udviklingen af morgendagens SCM kompetencer. 

Vi inviterer hermed dig til at deltage i undersøgelsen, hvis du anser dig selv for at have indsigt i din virksomheds SCM aktiviteter. Besvarelsen af spørgeskemaet vil tage 15 minutter.

Send venligst en e-mail med din virksomheds signatur til christoph.floethmann(at)the-klu.org, hvis du ønsker at deltage. Indiker venligst, om du ønsker spørgeskemaet på dansk, engelsk eller tysk. Som tak for din deltagelse ved at donerer vi 5 mæslingevaccinationer til udsatte børn. Det gør vi for hvert udfyldt spørgeskema.
