This book is the first of its kind in attempting to identify the skills and competencies required of supply chain leaders in Asia. In 2020, McKinsey reported that they believe leaders should not just fix their supply chains temporarily, but to transform them. Reimagining supply chains to avoid past traps and meet future needs will require a comprehensive approach in reskilling supply chain professionals to build new competencies for new norms. This book showcases the results of quantitative and qualitative research, including surveys and interviews with supply chain managers across Asia, highlighting the essential skills and competencies required to be a successful supply chain manager. A framework to plan and manage supply chain talents and strategies for recruiting and retaining supply chain talents are also included. The contributors of this book include Janya Chanchaichujit, Nguyen Thi Hong Hanh (Victoria), Sumit Mitra, Sherman Ong and Juliater Simarmata.

Noting that supply chain management has grown beyond its focus on transportation and warehouse issues to encompass the entire value chain from suppliers to customers, business scholars identify the supply chain skills now required by supply chain managers and leaders in Asia, and suggest key skills and competencies that all supply chain professionals need to acquire. They cover the need for supply chain professionals; interviews with supply chain experts and leaders; supply chain skills and competency from the online job advertisements; summary from the interviews, survey, and job postings; and recommendations.
