Description
How can businesses marry the short-term advantages of low-cost country sourcing with the longer-term implications of global sustainability? Are we heading for a sustainability crisis? Procurement and Supply Chain Management: A Sustainability Perspective, Third Edition, not only fully addresses the environmental, social and economic challenges of how companies manage procurement and supply chains but also provides coverage of new and emerging concerns including supply chain risk and resilience, transparency and digital supply chains. In addition to explaining the basic principles and processes of both procurement and supply chain management, the book evaluates how to develop strategic and sustainable procurement and supply chain management.
The authors' key message is that procurement and supply chain management needs to focus on value creation rather than cost cutting. This requires the development of new procurement and supply chain models that involve circular supply structures, supply chain transparency and collaboration with new stakeholders in traditional sourcing and supply chain settings. Aimed at students, educators and practitioners the book integrates sustainability into each chapter as a core element of procurement and supply chain management.
This third edition incorporates new examples and case studies from industry throughout, striking a balance between theoretical frameworks and guidelines for implementation in practice.

Reviews / Votes
This book has been among my resources for teaching different sustainability related courses for the past three years. I am teaching 'Sustainability Oriented Innovation', 'Business Ethics and Sustainability' for different postgraduate programmes. What I like about the book is that every chapter can be taught separately in a way that reading one chapter and topic is not a prerequisite for the next chapter. I also very much appreciate the case studies where students can work in groups and discuss the case.- Toloue Miandar, Assistant Professor at the Department of Management of University of Bologna
