Past research, eg, the work of Bals, Schulze, Kelly, and Stek (2019), started to address this issue based on literature review and interview studies. However, a detailed description of these skills is missing. Utilizing a real-time Delhi study with 45 experts within the PSM field, nine future purchasing skills have been elaborated. Identified skills connect to the maturing and emerging technologies within purchasing and provide a guideline towards Industry 4.0 in purchasing based on a human-centric perspective.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DelkeKarttunenKellyetal.2021, author = {Delke, Vincent and Karttunen, Elina and Kelly, Stephen and Stek, Klaas and Tk{\´a}č, Michal}, title = {Exploring Industry 4.0 Professional Roles and Skills within Purchasing and Supply Management}, series = {30th Annual IPSERA Conference 2021: Purchasing Innovation and Crisis Management}, booktitle = {30th Annual IPSERA Conference 2021: Purchasing Innovation and Crisis Management}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Professional roles, including specific skills for each role, are a step towards higher professionalism and maturity within purchasing and supply management (PSM).

Here, PSM's professional roles and skills are a good starting point to manage these changes by redefining professional roles organized by specific skills and responsibilities. For this reason, based on a systematic literature review and three World Caf{\´e}s with 29 purchasing professionals, this study compiles a list of Industry 4.0 professional roles and skills in PSM.}, language = {en} }
