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 chains 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 doesnt include a story about world events with supply chain implications. Whether its 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 organizations. And they are working hard to attract you by designing new hiring procedures, implementing new orientation and rotation programs, and creating opportunities that will challenge you from day one. 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 Ship

And when it comes to career progression, you will be responsible for managing your own career goals. Longterm 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 youre now working. Whether you work in a small or large enterprise, always be prepared to take on new assignments and embrace new challenges. Todays supply management professional requires a mind-set that extends beyond the traditional boundaries of supply management. Its a more holistic view of how you contribute to the success of the company, not just to the supply management function. For you to succeed, your company must succeed. As you embark on your journey in supply management, always consider the many opportunities that come your way in an organization. With multiple perspectives of business operations, its 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

Q: A:

Would you advise gaining realworld experience prior to pursuing a graduate degree? 81.5% yes 18.5% no One particularly enthusiastic respondent wrote, YES YES YES!!! The MBA is so much more valuable to me having been able to bring my business experience to the classroom.

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 companies, including a multitude of ethnic groups. And, you have the opportunity to interact with high-powered decisionmakers. Who wouldnt want that in a career? Johnsons 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 winning a Richter scholarship. That gets you through the door. Then, you need to seal the deal. ISM

hen 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 undergraduate internships each at a different company in a different industry with different responsibilities. The hands-on experience I gained during the internships also factored into my post-collegiate employment 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 process to help me decide which job offer was the best opportunity for me, both professionally and personally. 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 employers 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 development 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 situation, 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 By Lisa in evaluating a prospective employer include work/ Arnseth 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 Options

The 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: ob/industry, 40 percent. After interning in sevJ 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. raining/long-term potential, 20 percent. I knew T this position would be the starting point for my career. I wanted to be certain that my employer valued and provided employee training. Additionally, I evaluated the long-term development opportunities at the company and the likelihood that it would enable me to achieve my career aspirations. ulture, 15 percent. It was important to me to C 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.

 ocation, 15 percent. Location, location, location L need I say more? alary, 10 percent. Salary was by no means the S 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 possible points; the runner-up came in with 33.5 points.

Justifying the Decision

The 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 experience at A.T. Kearney are well-received by MBA programs 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 environment 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 prospective employers 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. Kearneys continued involvement in the scholarships, which are awarded through Institute for Supply Managements 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 justify 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. Additionally, 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: etworking with mentors to gain their insights and N advice eflecting on what is truly important to you and R what you want from your career sing a quantitative matrix similar to the chart U below to help guide your decision. Your first career step is an important one. Take the time to consider your options and carefully weigh what is important to you both now and into the future. ISM

ts that time of year again, when ISM releases its annual salary survey results. For supply management professionals, its an opportunity to compare 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 questions 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 ISMs sixth annual salary survey reveal the increasing value organizations are placing on supply management. The average salary for supply management professionals is now

Financial stability of the organization (65 percent) was reported as the leading determinant 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 percent). Other factors that were rated highly included work location, organizational culture/work environment and bonuses.
Position and Experience Whats in a salary? There were many factors that impacted salary amounts. It was nearly impossible to make 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 salaries 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, salarys importance in job choice was lower (sixth place in importance to job choice) compared with other factors.

apples-to-apples comparison of all respondents. Such factors as regional location, education level attained, credentials obtained, level of responsibility, gender and position were the defining characteristics of an individuals salary. Thus, a number of discrepancies 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, respondents classifying themselves as an entrylevel supply management professional earned an average salary of $49,502; those selecting experienced supply management professional as their position earned $75,383; those classified as manager earned

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

The average salary for those classified 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 correlation 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 percent more than those who have entered the field with two years or less of experience

Among the 19 industries, six reported average salaries higher than the overall survey average of $103,664.
Make Education Matter One of the major factors affecting salary and professional achievement continues to be education.

To the point, supply management professionals with a bachelors degree earn 60 percent more than those with only a high-school education. While an associates degree can earn you nearly 23 percent more in salary than a high-school education, a bachelors degree can lead to a 31 percent salary increase over an associates degree.

Thus, the decision to invest in graduate school either immediately following an undergraduate education or later in ones career is paying off for supply management 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 businessrelated fields (other than supply management) reported average salaries of $110,041.

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. Specifically, 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 ISMs CPSM, the value of this designation in organizations 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).

How the Survey Was Conducted

bonuses and other income received before taxes and deductions. For the second time, we asked if respondents 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. Nonmembers may purchase the detailed report for US$199. The reports can be accessed in the ISM Career Center at www.ism.ws.

or the sixth year in a row, ISM has collected information from various supply management professionals. The survey was conducted during January and February of 2011. Random samples of customers were pulled from an ISM database that included both members 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, Stock Options and Benefits When examining annual income, bonuses and stock options can represent a major portion of that amount. For the purpose 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 represented 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, respondents 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 certification (58 percent), personal communication 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 percent), personal legal services (10 percent) and vehicle/vehicle allowance (8 percent). Gender and Salary Despite ISMs official position statement 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 years 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 contraction in the gender gap is occurring. For example, in education, women with an associates degree earned 12 percent more in average salary ($84,377) compared with men ($75,159) at the same educational level. And with a bachelors degree, the average salary gap narrowed to less than 8 percent 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 management 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 ISMs CPSM certification. The difference in annual salary narrowed to a mere 0.6 percent between men ($123,452) and women ($122,713) with a CPSM credential. This is a positive trend that will hopefully continue as more supply management professionals 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 ISMs salary survey) and this years survey results are any indication, 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); directors 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 management in todays organizations. Education is also being rewarded with higher average salaries. While a bachelors degree in 2005 led to an average salary of $79,368, its now $104,690 a 32 percent increase. And a masters 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 years salary survey indicate, the compensation for men and women in supply management is beginning to parallel their contribution to the organization. Lets ensure this continues in the years to come. This article contains just a sample of whats included in ISMs comprehensive salary survey. A more detailed report is available on the ISM website at www.ism.ws/CareerCenter. ISM
