Abstract:
Modern supply chain managers are required to possess a set of competencies or multipleintelligences in order to meet the pressing business challenges. However, although many works have studiedproblems in supply chain management, few of those discussed the issue of supply chain manager selection.Especially, selecting competent supply chain managers is a kind of Mu1tiple Criteria Decision-Making(MCDM) problem which requires us to consider a large number of complex factors as multiple-criteria.Many traditional MCDM methods are based on the independence assumption, whereas the Analytic NetworkProcess (ANP) is a MCDM method which can deal with all kinds of dependences systematically. Since theANP has these advantages, this paper proposes a favorable method combining multiple intelligences theorywith ANP approach to help companies that need to select competent supply chain managers. Additionally, anempirical study is presented to illustrate the application of the proposed method.
