Abstract

Rather than replacing humans with technology, the knowledge-intensive new economy requires a new type of supply chain professional. This paper presents a skills profile of the new supply chain professional, professional development methods for the new economy, and a set of tools for attracting, rewarding, and retaining world class professionals.
