“…According to Camps (2017), classroom teaching remains the dominant form of teaching content but is less stimulating. In this context, several studies, such as those of Sweeney et al (2010) and Camps (2017), reveal that talents are more interested in the use of technology in SCM education since multimedia illustrations are considered as pleasant and improve understanding of supply chain issues (Sweeney et al 2010; Camps 2017). It is therefore hardly surprising that SCM simulations and games have increasingly been used in teaching in recent years (Grasas and Ramalhinho 2016; Sweeney et al 2010; Camps 2017).…”

“…Furthermore, the challenge to teaching technical aspects is to bridge the existing gap between science and industry. The third, and in our case, fundamental, challenge is related to SCM teaching methods (Camps 2017). According to Camps (2017), classroom teaching remains the dominant form of teaching content but is less stimulating.…”

“…Our research findings support extant research indicating that the teaching of technical aspects is increasingly moving toward digital technologies. SCM lecturers of universities, for example, are confronted with different challenges when teaching technical aspects (Camps 2017). The primary challenge is the increasing SCM complexity.…”

“…Due to the rapid changes in SCM practice, not only companies, but also lecturers in higher education are challenged to train SCM talents. Therefore, over the years, research contributions have been developed regarding approaches for modern and practice‐relevant SCM education (van Hoek 2001; Lutz and Birou 2013; Gibson et al 2016; Grasas and Ramalhinho 2016; Camps 2017; Sun and Song 2018). In this context, van Hoek (2001) emphasizes the importance of more strongly integrating relevant topics from practice into courses as well as focusing on developing the research skills of talents.…”

Business and EntrepreneurshipOpen access funding enabled and organized by Projekt DEAL. I n the field of supply chain management (SCM), attracting and developing appropriate talent is critical for achieving most SCM goals, as extensive skills are necessary to do the job properly. In order to ensure that future-proof talent can continue to emerge in this discipline, the role of SCM executives is extremely important. Although many studies have been conducted in the field of talent management (TM), the future role of SCM executives has been mostly neglected in research. The present empirical study addresses this gap, taking into consideration the fourth industrial revolution, as innovation in technology continues to drive significant changes in the SCM field. Aiming to investigate the extent to which increasing digitalization is influencing the future role of SCM executives, a Delphi study with 103 experts from industry, academics, and politics/associations was carried out. In order to identify meaningful topic clusters from the data, fuzzy c-means clustering was used. From an actor-network theory perspective, our results show that in some areas of TM, digitalization is leading to a strong fusion of SCM executives and digital technologies, as well as to a clear division of roles, in which either SCM leaders or technology will dominate in the future.

PurposeEffective educational methods are critical for successfully training future supply chain talent. The paper proposes a fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making model to evaluate and select the best educational method for tomorrow's supply chain leaders integrating skill development priorities in an uncertain environment.Design/methodology/approachThe Grounded theory scheme is used to identify SC leaders' skillsets criteria and educational method alternatives. Fuzzy step-wise weight assessment ratio analysis sets the priority and determines the weight of 17 criteria. Eight decision-makers evaluate 13 alternatives using fuzzy linguistic terms. Fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution ranks and shows the most effective educational method. Sensitivity analysis presents the applicability of this study.FindingsIts implementation in a university-industry collaboration case in Brazil, Mentored learning from industry experts is the best educational method. The skill development priorities are data analytics ability, end-to-end supply chain vision and problem-solving. Technical skills are the most important criteria that influence the selection of the optimal option and educational methods related to learning from others rank in the top teaching pool, including multidisciplinary cross-cultural training.Originality/valueThis paper is among the first to evaluate educational methods with skill development priorities integration for supply chain students using fuzzy SWARA–fuzzy TOPSIS. It provides actionable insights: a decision-making procedure for educational method selection, a broad skills profile for supply chain professional success and educational methods that professors can bring to in classroom/virtual environment.

Supply chain management students are introduced to a variety of modeling concepts. Yet learning facility location and capacity allocation modeling to the level of application and mastery proves difficult for the typical undergraduate business student. Spreadsheets facilitate the teaching of optimization modeling; however, providing feedback to students on spreadsheet assignments is an onerous and time-consuming task for instructors. In this teaching brief, a set of learning management system (LMS)-integrated spreadsheet exercises is presented which helps students learn spreadsheet modeling for the capacitated plant location problem. These exercises are also designed to reduce the instructor's grading burden while providing timely feedback and assessment of student performance. The effectiveness of the exercises is demonstrated by assessment data gathered from the LMS as well as postmodule student survey results.
