| dc.description.abstract | Studies frequently identified that Africa’s biggest risk is supply chain risks, mainly due to poor supply chain management skills. Moreover, the studies reported that nowhere is the shortage of managerial talent more evident than in the management of global supply chains. This thesis, thus, has been initiated to reflect on the Global Supply Chain Management competency development based on the experiences from Total Ethiopia S.C which is engaged in petroleum supply activities in the country. To achieve the objective, hypotheses were formulated based on the learning development theories and empirically tested employing a cross-sectional survey quantitative study design. Primary data was collected using standard questionnaire measuring the dependent variable (i.e., Global Petroleum Supply Chain Management Competency), and the independent variables (Organizational factors, and individual factors). The study was planned to undertake census covering all the 222 employees and managers of Total Ethiopia. However, only 140 of them were found to be willing and accessible to participate in the study. Ultimately, about 97 percent response rate was achieved. The data collected, then, was analyzed using descriptive statistics and a hierarchical multiple regressions aided by SPSS. Accordingly, it is verified that organizational learning culture, as well as Personal competing values (create as well as collaborate focused practices only) have a significant effect on the competency. This study has indicated, therefore, important implications for organizational and individual endeavors for developing management competency for the effective global petroleum supply chains operations. | en_US |
