Call for Papers
Managing the Human Resources in the Supply Chain
Submission deadline:
January 7, 2012
The supply chain function in organizations has evolved
significantly in recent decades as a
result of globalization and technological changes and has become
very complex. Neither the
Supply Chain literature nor the Human Resource Management
literature has kept sufficient
pace with these changes. Although recent work in the SCM/HRM
overlap has focused on
topics such as new job types for the 21st century supply chain, and buyer influence and
knowledge transfer in the HR domain to vendors in the supply
chain, the literature still needs
to go much further in this regard.
This special issue focuses on the entire set of HR practices
geared specially towards the
supply chain to better understand its unique characteristics and
the role it plays in broader
organizational success and competitive advantage.
The supply chain environment is characterized by a global spread
in which communications
and interactions are increasingly take place through technology
interfaces. It is said that all
work in the supply chain function takes place outside the direct
vision of any supervisor
(Bowersox, Closs, & Cooper, 2000). For that reason, the
level of complexity and uncertainty
in the supply chain is often higher than in other functions.
Effective management of the
supply chain therefore demands excellence in managing its human
resources. Strategic
management of the people that work in the supply chain is
important to contribute to the
overall performance of the supply chain and therefore the entire
organization. It is in this
context that we call for papers addressing the entire range of
HR and behavioral issues
including leadership as they apply to various aspects of the
supply chain.
The guest editors invite and encourage you to submit your research
to the special issue
entitled, “Managing the Human Resources in the Supply
Chain" Submissions may address

• The role of the human resources in supply chain success
• Skills, capabilities and other job requirements for employees
working in the
supply chain

• Managing change and flexibility in the supply chain
