3 Supply IN Demand

Welcome to the global marketplace! Whether you’re considering studying supply management as your career, or are currently working in the field and continuing your education, you have chosen well. Few careers like supply management involve going around the globe and back again — all while sitting in your office. Of its many advantages, the profession exposes you to new cultural experiences while

providing a critical view of the supply chain’s inner workings.

A career in supply management puts you into the middle of many important business changes occurring around the globe today. One cannot read a newspaper that doesn’t include a story about world events with supply chain implications. Whether it’s the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, political unrest in the Middle East, devaluation of the U.S. dollar or the challenges of providing affordable healthcare for an aging U.S. population, all of these headlines impact supply chains.

The opportunities in supply management are plentiful and rewarding. Despite the current high unemployment rate in the United States, there is a looming shortage of supply management professionals as baby boomers retire and businesses expand globally. Companies need well-educated, highly motivated talent in their organi-zations. And they are working hard to attract you by designing new hiring procedures, implementing new orientation and rotation programs, and creating oppor-tunities that will challenge you from day one.

teamwork, Collaboration, Critical SkillsToday, multinational companies are hiring for jobs

within countries where goods and services are both sourced and sold. No matter where you’re based, you’ll be working and collaborating with colleagues and part-ners from around the world. Collaboration is a critical skill to develop as you work with colleagues on projects for their benefit, yours and the company’s.

As you consider or complete your supply manage-ment studies, the knowledge gleaned from an aca-demic program prepares you well for a position in supply management. You will be able to hit the deck running, whether it is participating on an established team solving supply chain issues or contributing imme-diately to the requirements of the day. Many companies have developed an effective onboarding process to get you oriented into your new environment smoothly and quickly. Larger companies may offer you a formal rotation program that provides a wide and in-depth

experience in several parts of the company. Following this rotation (of up to two years), you will have several choices of where to start a longer-term assignment.

Captain of Your ShipAnd when it comes to career progression, you will be

responsible for managing your own career goals. Long-term employment with a single company, while not unusual or unique, is becoming less common. Mergers, acquisitions, global competition, technology changes and fickle consumers all conspire to create and require large-scale changes in businesses and business models. You must always be ready for the next assignment, the next job, the next employer or even the next country where you may work. Think and plan ahead, as your current work situation may not last forever.

Keep in mind that opportunities for promotion may not always come from within the organization where you’re now working. Whether you work in a small or large enterprise, always be prepared to take on new assignments and embrace new challenges. Today’s supply management professional requires a mind-set that extends beyond the traditional boundaries of supply management. It’s a more holistic view of how you contribute to the success of the company, not just to the supply management function. For you to suc-ceed, your company must succeed.

As you embark on your journey in supply manage-ment, always consider the many opportunities that come your way in an organization. With multiple per-spectives of business operations, it’s just another level of value you bring to the organization and your career. There is a vast sea of opportunities — go claim your place in the supply management profession. ISM

SupplyA Quick Study

When you’re a business-minded student, trying to choose from the many career options that will soon

be available to you with your degree can be daunting. Even if you’ve already selected supply management as your likely future path, you probably still have questions. With that in mind, for this year’s edition of Supply IN Demand, ISM asked, and got answers for you. We surveyed our membership to find out what working supply management professionals think of the profession. We hope you’ll learn a thing or two. And don’t worry: Unlike your textbooks, there’s no quiz at the end.

Our survey respondent field was made up of those who classified themselves as: purchasing/supply management/sourcing directors (29.6 percent); managers (59.3 percent); experienced supply manage-ment professionals (7.4 percent); and those who classified themselves as “other” (3.7 percent).

If you’re still undecided about supply management as a career choice, consider the 96.2 percent of respondents who rec-ommend it as a profession to young people entering the job market. The remaining questions and answers in ISM’s survey of supply management professionals are just as telling.

Questions, Answered

Q: Are you satisfied with your career?

A:85.2% yes 14.8% no

Comments included: “The role is inte-grated with many other related fields, such as sales, finance and commodities, and incorporates a high level of communication within all levels internal and external to orga-nizations.” And, “Very happy with the range of businesses I have been able to transfer my skills to, all within supply management … great ‘big picture’ view.” Another noted, “I would have benefited from working with a mentor early on in my career path.”

Q: Is the profession what you thought it would be when you first got into it?

A:38.5% yes 61.5% no

The higher percentage responding “no” is not necessarily a negative reflection of the profession; instead, it reflects the always-changing and -evolving nature of the field. As respondents noted: “It is far more diverse in required skills than originally antici-pated,” and — somewhat philosophically — “The complexities of almost any function

are underappreciated until experienced firsthand.” Others noted, “It is much more complex as we go forward into the future,” and, “This profession is full of surprises, challenges and opportunities to learn and grow.”

Q: Do you see supply management’s value continuing to grow in

organizations?

A: 88.9% yes 11.1% no

While one respondent said things remain about the same, others noted: “Absolutely. As cost control and off-shoring become more prevalent, we see our value to other business units’ growth and we are asked to help make informed decisions.” And, “Absolutely.

We are always being asked to do more — new product programs to hit market windows, access sources in new markets like Africa and Latin America, etc.”

Q: Would you recommend getting experience in other business

units before/after joining a supply man-agement organization?

A: 81.5% yes 18.5% no

One respondent said, “Maybe, but not really necessary. Supply manage-ment gives you a great view across the full company, and movement within procurement teams can broaden your view without the experience of being in other business units. That said, there is nothing wrong with bringing busi-ness knowledge into supply.” Others

recommended getting experience in sales or finance/accounting, or doing a thorough job rotation for breadth, and simultaneously adding depth in a few selected areas of supply for maximum marketing power in your career.

Q: Would you advise young profes-sionals to seek out a mentor in

supply management while still in college?

A: 85.2% yes 14.8% no

This was summed up most succinctly with, “Having a good mentor can never hurt! And, “Most definitely … also pursue internships in their senior year,” and, “Mentoring is a valuable element to the learning process,” and, in more detail, “Very critical to do so — find someone who has wisdom but also knows how to

teach a young person. The way I went about my work at age 25 almost makes me cringe today at 50. Could have used a mentor’s guidance back then.”

Q: Is it important to have skills in a second language and/or to have

some international business experience?

A: 73.1% yes 26.9% no

Respondent comments included: “Understanding Mandarin, Spanish, Arabic are all going to help in job place-ment and in traveling internationally.“ Even those who said “no” admitted, “Having it in advance could be an advan-tage.” Another noted having a second-language requirement for all senior buyers. And, “New markets are opening as we speak, and those who know how

to enter them successfully are poised to do very well.”

Q: Would you advise gaining real-world experience prior to pur-

suing a graduate degree?

A: 81.5% yes 18.5% no

One particularly enthusiastic respon-dent wrote, “YES YES YES!!! The MBA is so much more valuable to me having been able to bring my business expe-rience to the classroom.” Others com-mented: “Graduate degrees rely heavily on experience,” and, “It’s how I did it, but it was very hard as a working adult. I would advise a young professional it’s based on his/her circumstances consid-ering finances, family situation, etc.”

Sold on Supply Management Yet?

Sidney Johnson, CPSM, vice president, global supply management for Delphi Corporation, and ISM’s Board Chair, says supply management has many selling points for students, the first being its wide reach. “You learn a lot about other industries and cultures as you interact with local and global communities,” he notes. “You manage corporate social responsibilities and work with diverse suppliers — both large and small com-panies, including a multitude of ethnic groups. And, you have the opportunity to interact with high-powered decision-makers. Who wouldn’t want that in a career?”

Johnson’s best advice for students pursuing their first position in supply management? “Strive for opportunities and jobs that demonstrate your abilities to interact with, influence and persuade others within an organization — such as leading a college association, actively participating on a debate team or win-ning a Richter scholarship. That gets you through the door. Then, you need to seal the deal.” ISM

When deciding which offer to accept as my first job out of college, I recalled the advice given to me by my mentor — “Your first job may

not be the defining moment in your career, but it is instrumental in your career path and success.” Those words weighed heavily on my decision to begin my supply management career at my current employer. My decision was made after three under-graduate internships — each at a different company in a different industry with different responsibilities. The hands-on experience I gained during the intern-ships also factored into my post-collegiate employ-ment choice. As my mentor also suggested, I used my internship experiences to gauge and identify what was important to me in my first career choice.

I knew that selecting the right company to begin my career was important, so I followed a detailed pro-cess to help me decide which job offer was the best opportunity for me, both professionally and person-ally. I started by listing five key criteria. They included:1) Job/industry. What will my responsibilities be?

Will I have ownership over projects and deadlines? What industry will the role be in? Am I excited about that industry?

2) Training/long-term potential. What is the employer’s training and education investment portfolio, both initially and long-term? Will the employer train me in the skills necessary to be successful? What are the long-term career devel-opment opportunities?

3) Company culture. Will I fit in? Will I like working with my new colleagues on a daily basis? Do I share similar values with the company?

4) Location. Is it an urban or remote location? How close is it to my family?

5) Salary. Is the employment package competitive?

The list was based on my personal situation. Because everyone has his or her own unique situa-tion, the criteria can and probably will change. The criteria for what is important in your first job choice may also be based on what stage you are at in the recruiting process. Other points that can be used in evaluating a prospective employer include work/life balance, green initiatives, corporate citizenship, financial health, global presence and so forth. The factors are endless, but limit the criteria to five for optimal impact.

Weighing the OptionsThe next step is to weigh each point based on

its importance to you. This also will be different for each individual and may change over time. Following is the weight I gave to each criterion as well as my rationale behind each:• Job/industry,40percent.After interning in sev-

eral different industries, I had a good idea of what I liked and what I found exciting. The experiences taught me that it is important to be passionate about what you are doing. This was my first career step out of college, and I wanted to be sure that my job was rewarding because it would be the foundation for the rest of my career.

• Training/long-termpotential,20percent. I knew this position would be the starting point for my career. I wanted to be certain that my employer valued and provided employee training. Addition-ally, I evaluated the long-term development oppor-tunities at the company and the likelihood that it would enable me to achieve my career aspirations.

• Culture,15percent. It was important to me to have the feeling of belonging. I knew my coworkers would have an impact on whether I enjoyed my job, and I like to be happy at work.

• Location,15percent. Location, location, location — need I say more?

• Salary,10percent. Salary was by no means the deciding factor, but it was still a factor.

I created a weighted matrix based on my criteria and proceeded to score each prospective employer, as the chart below shows. Once the matrix was completed, the choice was clear. A.T. Kearney was the best option for me, scoring 47 out of 50 pos-sible points; the runner-up came in with 33.5 points.

Justifying the DecisionThe perfect score I gave A.T. Kearney in the job/

industry category was based on my desire for a consulting rather than an industry position. Also, I believed my work assignments would be meaningful and challenging with a great deal of responsibility. The training/long-term potential category received a perfect score because of the training I would receive not only in my first month with the company, but also throughout my career there. One of my near-term goals is to attain my MBA; candidates with experi-ence at A.T. Kearney are well-received by MBA pro-grams — additional proof of the long-term value. Company culture received a high score, as well. Everyone I met during the interview process was extremely smart, and the collaborative work environ-ment was apparent. Location received a score of four out of five. Ideally, I preferred to live near my family in Michigan; however, my assigned office in Chicago was only a train ride away. Finally, the company made a very competitive compensation offer. As a result, the company once again received a perfect score. Using this quantitative method to make a qualitative decision helped me keep everything in perspective, and ensured I considered all the criteria that truly mattered to me.

Another quality that weighed on my decision — although not listed on the matrix — was my prospec-tive employer’s support of undergraduate mentoring and career enrichment programs, such as the R. Gene Richter Scholarship Program, the largest nationally recognized scholarship program in the field of supply chain management. As I am a 2009 Richter Scholar, A.T. Kearney’s continued involvement in the scholar-ships, which are awarded through Institute for Supply Management™’s Scholarship Fund and the R. Gene and Nancy D. Richter Foundation, made a lasting impression. It was an added bonus.

After more than a year on the job, I can still jus-tify the “scores” I gave the company. I love living in Chicago. My team members are extremely smart and passionate about the work, and the company culture is very collaborative. The first weeks of training were packed with tools and applications I was unfamiliar with, but am beginning to master now. Addition-ally, I am involved in challenging, yet interesting and meaningful projects.

When facing the pivotal decision of where to start your post-undergraduate career, I recommend: • Networkingwithmentorstogaintheirinsightsand

Supply management professionals are seeing a major increase in their average

salaries compared with 2009.

www.ism.ws

13 Supply IN Demand

It’s that time of year again, when ISM releases its annual salary survey results. For supply management pro-fessionals, it’s an opportunity to com-

pare and contrast their earnings against others in the profession: How do I stack up against others in my position or region of the country? How advantageous is it to my career to have a credential? These are relevant ques-tions and ones that are answered in this article. Even more important, however, is the use of this information as a benchmark and tool during your next performance review or salary renegotiation.

The results of ISM’s sixth annual salary survey reveal the increasing value organizations are placing on supply management. The average salary for supply management professionals is now

US$103,664, an increase of 5.6 percent over 2009 ($98,200). This shows a signifi-cant increase compared with the stagnant movement in salary of 0.08 percent seen between 2008 and 2009. The median salary was $87,000, with the highest salary reported at $683,000 and the lowest at $16,000. The salary numbers reported are for the 2010 calendar year and include wages and any bonuses received; all amounts given are in U.S. dollars.

The percentage of respondents earning $100,000 or more also increased compared with 2009, from 34 percent to 38 percent in 2010. Respondents self-reported an

average salary increase of 3.5 percent from what they received in 2009, compared with an average increase of 2.8 percent in 2009 over 2008. Of all respondents, 66 percent reported that their salaries increased (compared with 78 percent in 2009), 6.6 percent indicated that their sala-ries decreased (compared with 20 percent in 2009) and 19 percent reported that their salaries did not change in 2010 (compared with 2 percent in 2009). A recovering economy, coupled with the importance of supply management during such a crisis, is bringing greater visibility and value to the profession.

Despite a healthy increase in salary for 2010, salary’s importance in job choice was lower (sixth place in importance to job choice) compared with other factors.

Financial stability of the organization (65 percent) was reported as the leading deter-minant in job choice for respondents. Both benefits package and job satisfaction tied for second place at 61 percent. This was followed by work/life balance (48 percent), promotion (45 percent) and wages (44 per-cent). Other factors that were rated highly included work location, organizational culture/work environment and bonuses.

Position and Experience What’s in a salary? There were many

factors that impacted salary amounts. It was nearly impossible to make an

apples-to-apples comparison of all respon-dents. Such factors as regional location, edu-cation level attained, credentials obtained, level of responsibility, gender and position were the defining characteristics of an individual’s salary. Thus, a number of dis-crepancies can exist for differences in salary between individuals, jobs and organizations.

Due to these varying factors, salaries were based on position rather than specific job titles. Respondents self-selected the position that best represented their title and responsibility. By position, respon-dents classifying themselves as an entry-level supply management professional earned an average salary of $49,502; those selecting experienced supply manage-ment professional as their position earned $75,383; those classified as manager earned

$98,264; those classified as director earned $134,220; those selecting vice president as their position earned $238,396; and those classifying themselves as a chief earned $231,142. The average salary for those clas-sified as a chief decreased by 3.8 percent compared with 2009 ($240,408).

In general, more years of experience translated to a higher salary. That correla-tion existed in most comparisons among the experience levels. Supply management professionals working in the profession for 11 or more years can expect to earn 43 per-cent more than those who have entered the field with two years or less of experience

(this compares with 32 percent reported in 2009). The average salary for supply manage-ment professionals with 11 years of experience or more was $108,860, while the average salary for those with two years or less of experience was $76,032. Overall, supply management pro-fessionals with three to five years of experience earned an average salary of $91,346; those with six to 10 years of experience earned $88,448; those with 11 to 20 years of experience earned $96,136; and supply management professionals with 20 or more years of experience earned an average of $121,584.

Variations in salary also occurred among different industries. Of the 19 industries under which respondents classified them-selves, accommodation and food services ranked the highest in salary at $176,686, fol-lowed by mining ($135,787), and finance and insurance ($120,006). Last year’s leader, the construction industry ($91,504) dropped to 12th place in 2010. The industry reporting the lowest salary was arts, entertainment and recreation ($63,418). The second and third lowest industry salaries were real estate, rental and leasing ($75,037) and educational services ($75,785), respectively. Among the 19 indus-tries, six reported average salaries higher than the overall survey average of $103,664.

Make Education MatterOne of the major factors affecting salary

and professional achievement continues to be education. Today’s young supply management professionals realize the need to earn a bach-elor’s degree at a minimum to contend with an evolving marketplace. To the point, supply management professionals with a bachelor’s degree earn 60 percent more than those with only a high-school education. While an asso-ciate’s degree can earn you nearly 23 percent more in salary than a high-school education, a bachelor’s degree can lead to a 31 percent salary increase over an associate’s degree.

professionals with a master’s earned 18 percent more in salary than their counterparts with only a bachelor’s degree. Thus, the decision to invest in graduate school either immediately following an undergraduate education or later in one’s career is paying off for supply man-agement professionals.

How do the various degree fields stack up? Degrees in the technical/engineering fields continued to offer the highest average salary among respondents, at $126,999. Supply management professionals entering business-related fields (other than supply management) reported average salaries of $110,041. Those respondents who earned degrees in supply management/supply chain management earned an average salary of $101,615, while liberal arts majors followed with an average salary of $96,003.

CPSM® and Other Credentials Paying Dividends

Have you earned your Certified Profes-sional in Supply Management® (CPSM®) des-ignation? Attainment of a supply management certification is giving a boost to the average salary of respondents. The average salary for supply management professionals with one or more credentials was $107,181, compared with $100,071 for people without a credential. The salary for those with a credential increased 8.6 percent over 2009’s $98,701.

ISM’s CPSM® credential is making its impact on average salary in organizations. Respondents who hold a CPSM® designation are earning 23 percent more on average salary compared with those without a credential. This was a significant increase compared with 2009, when respondents with a CPSM® reported earning 9.8 percent more than their counterparts without credentials. Specifi-cally, supply management professionals with a CPSM® are earning an average salary of $123,008, compared with $100,071 for those who lack a designation. With this being only the second year for reporting on ISM’s CPSM®, the value of this designation in orga-nizations will likely only continue to grow.

The Certified Purchasing Manager (C.P.M.) designation continues to add value to ISM members and supply management professionals, as well. The average salary for respondents holding a C.P.M. was $101,840, an increase of 2.5 percent over 2009 ($99,314).

For the sixth year in a row, ISM has collected

information from various supply manage-

ment professionals. The survey was con-

ducted during January and February of

2011. Random samples of customers were

pulled from an ISM database that included both mem-

bers and nonmembers. An e-mail message requesting

participation was then sent to these customers. In all,

a total of 743 responses were received, representing

a response rate of 7.1 percent. ISM staff tabulated

the responses and set the confidence interval for

the overall mean salary as plus or minus 4.7 percent.

Respondents were asked to report salary information

for the 2010 calendar year. Salary included wages,

bonuses and other income received before taxes and

deductions. For the second time, we asked if respon-

dents were employed for the full year. Eighteen, or

2.4 percent, of the respondents indicated they were not

employed for the full year (compared with 4 percent in

2009). The results posted exclude those not employed

for the full calendar year of 2010.

More detailed data from this survey are available

on the ISM website. A brief summary of the results is

available to the general public, while a detailed report

is available at no charge to ISM members. Nonmem-

bers may purchase the detailed report for US$199. The

reports can be accessed in the ISM Career Center at

www.ism.ws.

How the Survey Was Conducted

ISM’s 2011 Salary Survey

www.ism.ws

17 Supply IN Demand

Bonuses, Stock Options and Benefits

When examining annual income, bonuses and stock options can represent a major portion of that amount. For the pur-pose of the survey, respondents were asked to include bonuses as part of their overall salary reported. Among the respondents who received a bonus in 2010, the average bonus received was $21,139, which repre-sented approximately 21 percent of the total gross salary received. This amount was a 14 percent increase compared with the average bonus amount for 2009 ($18,504), and was based on a combination of company results (59 percent), department results (15 percent), individual results (21 percent) and other results (5 percent). The highest bonus amount reported for 2010 was $259,000, and the median bonus was $9,000.

While stock options were not included as a part of salary, they were earned by 14 percent of the respondents. The average estimated dollar value of the stock options received was $29,975. The median was $10,000.

With regard to fringe benefits, respon-dents reported being offered health insurance (92 percent), dental insurance (90 percent), life insurance (86 percent), pension or retirement plan (85 percent), vision insurance (73 percent), long-term disability (71 percent), short-term disability (70 percent) and tuition reimbursement (67 percent). Additional benefits received included paid training/professional certifi-cation (58 percent), personal communica-tion devices (cell phone, laptop, PDA and the like) (51 percent), paid maternity/family leave (45 percent), association membership (41 percent), long-term care insurance (28 percent), health club membership (23 per-cent), personal legal services (10 percent) and vehicle/vehicle allowance (8 percent).

Gender and SalaryDespite ISM’s official position state-

ment on the issue of gender and equal compensation, gender continues to play a factor in the salary of supply management professionals. The average salary among the

male respondents in this year’s survey was $112,952, compared with $90,200 for female respondents. Men earned an average of 25 percent more than their female counterparts.

There are, however, areas where a con-traction in the gender gap is occurring. For example, in education, women with an associate’s degree earned 12 percent more in average salary ($84,377) compared with men ($75,159) at the same educational level. And with a bachelor’s degree, the average salary gap narrowed to less than 8 per-cent between men ($107,857) and women ($99,982). In terms of experience, there was a significant difference (66 percent) in annual salary between women ($80,620) and men ($48,506) with one to two years of experience. And for supply manage-ment professionals with three to five years of experience, women continued to lead in annual salary ($84,377) over men ($75,159).

How did annual salary compare between men and women who have earned credentials? The average salary gap between men and women with one or more credentials was 29 percent. However, the gap narrowed to 23 percent between men ($111,382) and women ($90,605) who have earned a C.P.M. The most striking comparison, however, was between men and women who have earned ISM’s CPSM® certification. The difference in annual salary narrowed to a mere 0.6 per-cent between men ($123,452) and women ($122,713) with a CPSM® credential. This is a positive trend that will hopefully con-tinue as more supply management profes-sionals earn their CPSM® certification.

On Average, Improvement What does the past say about the future?

If average salary comparisons between 2005 (the inaugural year of ISM’s salary survey) and this year’s survey results are any indi-cation, supply management professionals should expect a healthy increase in average salary in the coming years. The average salary increased 32 percent compared with 2005 from $78,470 to $103,664, even as global economies struggled amid a coming recession for nearly half this period.

Significant increases in average salary are also now prevalent for various job titles. On average, chiefs earn 43 percent more today ($231,142) than in 2005 ($161,082); vice presidents earn 51 percent more today ($238,396) than in 2005 ($158,256); direc-tors earn 11 percent more today ($134,220) than in 2005 ($120,401); and managers are earning 23 percent more today ($98,264) than in 2005 ($80,159). These figures help reaffirm the growing value of supply man-agement in today’s organizations.

Education is also being rewarded with higher average salaries. While a bachelor’s degree in 2005 led to an average salary of $79,368, it’s now $104,690 — a 32 percent increase. And a master’s degree today yields an average salary of $123,062 compared with $99,373 in 2005, a 24 percent increase. As technology and the marketplace evolve, both four-year and graduate degrees are becoming essential.

Gender is a factor that continues to impact average salaries between men and women. While the average salary for men has increased from $86,662 in 2005 to $112,952 in 2010 (a 30 percent jump), women experienced a larger percentage growth (37 percent) in average salary, from $66,032 in 2005 to $90,200 in 2010.

As the economy recovers, supply management professionals must continue their ability to remove supply chain costs and improve efficiencies to remain on the radar of executive management and be compensated appropriately for their efforts. As the results of this year’s salary survey indicate, the compensation for men and women in supply management is beginning to parallel their contribution to the organization. Let’s ensure this con-tinues in the years to come.

This article contains just a sample of what’s included in ISM’s compre-hensive salary survey. A more detailed report is available on the ISM website at www.ism.ws/CareerCenter. ISM

The W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University takes an integrated approach to supply chain management. At W. P. Carey, supply chain is a way of thinking about business, understanding that everything we do is connected and impacts everything else that must be done. While addressing the three prime areas of the supply chain — procurement, operations and logistics — our programs focus on integrating all aspects of the product and service life cycle, from the design stage to final customer delivery and product disposal. Globalization and information-management tools are important considerations in this approach.

Our department offers undergraduate, MBA and doctoral degrees; graduate certificates and custom MBA degree programs; and online professional certificates and executive education programs. Gartner Research recently ranked the W. P. Carey supply chain management program No. 3 in the nation.
