摘要

A review of current management literature reveals the management skills and perspective needed to meet the challenges anticipated in the 21st Century include a cross-functional, multidimensional, life cycle approach emphasizing full integration of all enterprise infrastructure elements—technology, processes, and people. Since the early 1900s, the evolution of professional management specialty disciplines has been responsive to emerging practice needs. The existing management specialty discipline, which can address the identified 21st Century needs, is logistics—not the narrow transportation and distribution perspective, but a comprehensive logistics perspective. The Research Question investigated in this dissertation was “Has logistics practice evolved sufficiently to be recognized as a professional management specialty?”. The theoretical basis for this research was the process for evolution from technical occupation to profession, described by Wilensky (1964) based on his historical examination of 18 occupations, which evolved to professions.; The research design for this study was an exploratory, empirical, non-experimental, cross-sectional, qualitative assessment, case study. Data collection consisted primarily of ex post facto documents review in two stages. In the first stage, the literature relating to professions and the professionalization process was reviewed to produce a characteristics profile of a profession. In stage two, 1,083 documents describing logistics practice and theory were analyzed to produce a descriptive profile of logistics practice and theory. Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) techniques, specifically a modified Concept Mapping procedure with Pattern Matching using a 2-point qualitative scale were used to assess the current status of Logistics as a profession. The results indicated a “qualified yes” answer to the research question, since there was support for all seven attitudinal and all 12 structural antecedent dimensions identified. Of significance to logistics and management practitioners and to researchers in both fields, findings indicate a need to increase activities leading to professional self-regulation, logistics theory development, and educational activities for continued technical and managerial skill sets development. This study has extended the research of professionalization into the area of cross-functional, organizational boundary spanning, and technical management specialties.
