“…The Delphi methodology has proven its worth in the assessment and evaluation of future events, and it has been used successfully in various disciplines, such as the social sciences (Strauss and Zeigler 1975; Guglyuvatyy and Stoianoff 2015; Mukherjee et al 2015; Ocampo et al 2018), business (Huber and Delbecq 1972; Czinkota and Ronkainen 1997; Hsiao 2006), education (de Villiers et al 2005; Calabor et al 2019), information systems (Brancheau et al 1996; Schmidt et al 2001; Turoff 2002; Akkermans et al 2003; Rowe and Wright 2011), as well as logistics and SCM (Ecken and Pibernik 2015; Hirschinger et al 2015; Richardson et al 2016). For example, in the field of logistics and SCM, Richardson et al (2016) recently published an original research article in the Journal of Business Logistics on factors influencing the prepositioning of global inventory.…”

Business and EntrepreneurshipOpen access funding enabled and organized by Projekt DEAL. I n the field of supply chain management (SCM), attracting and developing appropriate talent is critical for achieving most SCM goals, as extensive skills are necessary to do the job properly. In order to ensure that future-proof talent can continue to emerge in this discipline, the role of SCM executives is extremely important. Although many studies have been conducted in the field of talent management (TM), the future role of SCM executives has been mostly neglected in research. The present empirical study addresses this gap, taking into consideration the fourth industrial revolution, as innovation in technology continues to drive significant changes in the SCM field. Aiming to investigate the extent to which increasing digitalization is influencing the future role of SCM executives, a Delphi study with 103 experts from industry, academics, and politics/associations was carried out. In order to identify meaningful topic clusters from the data, fuzzy c-means clustering was used. From an actor-network theory perspective, our results show that in some areas of TM, digitalization is leading to a strong fusion of SCM executives and digital technologies, as well as to a clear division of roles, in which either SCM leaders or technology will dominate in the future.

All is altered by technology. Every aspect of our lives is now, in one way or another, heavily dependent on or seamlessly improved by technology. Different technology media, channels and resources, especially in the higher education, have greatly affected the method of pedagogy in recent years. First was computer-based learning, which has replaced most of the traditional way in reading, learning and test taking. This include the use of electronic books, videos and the computer-based exams. On the other hand, gamification has been able to enhance students' understanding of learning. From the usual monotonous reading to the recollection of a enjoyable game-like experience, which gives them the feeling of pleasure instead of pressure. The students undertaking accounting classes have a great deal to learn basic accounting including debit and credit principles – a double entry accouting system method, which are one of the essentiaal and important to the skills they have in the real world, and yet they can be repetitive, boring and tearful. The CREB1T application aimed to tackle this issue by incorporating gamification approach in the lesson and deploy it on a mobile application, a platform where most millenials students are receptive with. And since it’s on mobile students may able to learn it anywhere during their spare time giving them freedom to suit their study habit.

“…Over the past 60 years, the Delphi technique has often been used for prospective surveys (Dalkey & Helmer, 1963; Landeta, 2006; Rieger, 1986; Sackman, 1974). For example, to assess and evaluate future events, technologies, and developments, as well as to diagnose conditions, it was successfully utilized across all disciplines, from social sciences (Guglyuvatyy & Stoianoff, 2015; Mukherjee et al., 2015; Ocampo, Ebisa, Ombe, & Escoto, 2018; Strauss & Zeigler, 1975), business (Czinkota & Ronkainen, 1997; Ecken & Pibernik, 2016; Hsiao, 2006; Huber & Delbecq, 1972), and engineering (Bokrantz, Skoogh, Berlin, & Stahre, 2017; Olawumi, Chan, Wong, & Chan, 2018; Silveira Junior, Vasconcellos, Guedes, Guedes, & Costa, 2018) to education (Calabor, Mora, & Moya, 2019; De Villiers, De Villiers, & Kent, 2005; Green, 2014), medicine (Dellinger et al., 2008; Graham, Regehr, & Wright, 2003; Jones & Hunter, 1995; Moher et al., 1999; Morley et al., 2013; Williams & Webb, 1994), or information systems research (Akkermans, Bogerd, Yücesan, & Van Wassenhove, 2003; Brancheau, Janz, & Wetherbe, 1996; Schmidt, Lyytinen, Keil, & Cule, 2001; Turoff, 2002). It aims to foster a structured group communication process among designated experts (Linstone & Turoff, 2011) and is considered to be particularly suitable for research topics with a limited amount of available information (e.g.…”
