A chapter in Global Logistics and Supply Chain Strategies for the 2020s, 2023, pp 1-27 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Despite its tumultuous, volatile start and subsequent disruptions and rising costs in many supply chains, the 2020 decade has all the ingredients to foster a “golden age” for a career in logistics and supply chain management. On the one hand, many urgent challenges such as managing global supply chain disruptions and security, climate change, or social injustices need to be addressed, while on the other hand many new technologies and tools become available that can support this transformation and provide firms with competitive advantages. As a result, supply chain talents, experts, and graduates are highly sought after. This chapter provides a general overview of the opportunities arising from global supply chain and logistics trends and a synthesis of the chapters in this book highlighting graduate qualities and career insights into the various logistics and supply chain sectors/industries.
