Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the similarities and differences of occupational identity among logistics managers, controllers and specialists.Design/methodology/approachAfter a thorough review of the literature, the authors opted for desk research and content analysis of job advertisements for these three occupations as the major research method, focusing on a sample of 60 Polish and German advertisements.FindingsThe analysis of these data confirmed that the three occupations have their own identity (although there is a certain closeness between controllers and managers), but, from a holistic perspective of logistics management considering current trends in logistics, these three occupations should be integrated as a whole.Originality/valueThis has been the first paper comparing ads focused on logistics professionals in two relevant European economies in terms of logistics development: Poland and Germany.
