Entrepreneurial management of project supply chain – a model approach

Abstract

The paper’s principal purpose is to present the original concept of the project supply chain’s entrepreneurial management. Based on the literature on the subject, one defines the entrepreneurial management concept showing the influence of entrepreneurial management on company operation. Moreover, the paper also outlines the most important concepts of the project supply chain and presents the functioning scheme. Theoretical considerations concerning contemporary theories of entrepreneurial management and project supply chain are the prelude to presenting the concept of entrepreneurial management. The presented approach can be found helpful for the effective management of the project supply chain, which has not yet been thoroughly defined. It should be mentioned that the designed model of the entrepreneurial supply chain management is an original proposal for the paradigm of project supply chains. Both in a classical and project supply chain, a significant role is given to the flow of material resources between the individual chain components. It determines that the project supply chain is mainly driven by the need for its members’ value increase. It was explained that regarding entrepreneurial competences, knowledge can be transferred to other organizations in the whole supply chain. It was also mentioned that the project supply chain’s entrepreneurial management takes into account the flexibility manifesting itself through the establishment of agile project teams, and by focusing on human relationships. It is the basis for the presented concept of the entrepreneurial management model of the project supply chain.

Creative management: Model for the development of entrepreneurial competencies

“…Entrepreneurial competence includes knowledge, skills, and attitudes (Korpysa et al, 2020). Kusumawijaya and Astuti (2021) believe that entrepreneurial skills have recently become vital in creating a business in any field of activity.…”

“…Accordingly, they developed a model for overcoming these barriers to achieve operational improvements through supply chain integration. Recent contributions worked on the 'interfaces/integration' between the supply chain actors analysing innovative methodological approaches to support collaboration amongst ETO small-medium enterprises for customised product design and manufacturing (Carneiro et al, 2014), integration and management of the project supply chains (Korpysa et al, 2020), different transport and logistics configurations to enhance efficiency (Dubois et al, 2019), the impact on sustainable performance (Zeng et al, 2018), and the effects of engineering and production coordination and the factors affecting this coordination (Mello et al, 2017(Mello et al, , 2015a(Mello et al, , 2015bMello and Strandhagen, 2011). Moreover, the 'relationships' with customer and suppliers have been analysed.…”
