Abstract: The fields of supply chain management and operations management have routinely focused upon the development of efficient and effective strategies in order to design, source, produce, deliver and support products and services. Thus the lexicon of extant literature and practice in the area has largely tended to focus on the management of applied strategies, techniques, tools and best practice to achieve these aims. Whilst these approaches have yielded successful outcomes for many firms across a wide spectrum of sectors and industries, there is still a paucity of research in the identification of those factors which can provide insight into leadership capability (hence supply chain leadership as opposed to supply chain management). This paper develops a framework and proposes hypotheses for such leadership constructs through an analysis of achievement, affiliation and power values as reflected upon by Turkish and Tunisian supply chain managers. The authors propose a post analysis model for supply chain leadership capability as a function of supply chain manager responsibilities.
