Abstract: This study is an attempt to understand the unique functional needs of the organisations in South Asia from the logistics and supply chain professionals at recruitment stage, and match these needs against the skill set of the candidates joining the logistics and supply chain function. This study identifies the specific job roles which are critical to the efficient management of supply chains and defines the skillset required to manage these functional roles. A career progression framework for the young graduates joining the logistics and supply chain management industry is proposed. For the Asian organisations, a prospective training and development matrix is proposed to impart desired skills. The respondents of our survey were students and professionals of South Asian origin working in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the Middle East.
