Description
For too long, business has focused on short-term cost advantages through low-cost country sourcing with little regard for the longer-term implications of global sustainability. Purchasing and Supply Chain Management, Second Edition, not only fully addresses the environmental, social and economic challenges of how companies manage purchasing and supply chains, but also delves deeper into emerging areas such as modern slavery, digital technologies and circular supply chains.
In addition to explaining the basic principles and processes of both purchasing and supply chain management, the book evaluates how to develop strategic and sustainable purchasing and supply chain management. Our key message is that purchasing and supply chain management needs to focus on value creation rather than cost cutting. This requires the development of new purchasing 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 purchasing and supply chain management. This second edition incorporates new examples and case studies from industry throughout, striking a balance between theoretical frameworks and guidelines for implementation in practice.

Reviews / Votes
Developing and improving sustainable business and supply chain practices is now obligatory for businesses, not just an option. Purchasing and Supply Chain Management: A Sustainability Perspective, Second Edition, builds on the ground breaking first edition by providing the most current insights from research and industry practice for sustainably managing global supply chains. Johnsen, Howard and Miemczyk provide cutting-edge insight and direction for students, practitioners and academics to successfully analyze, develop and manage purchasing and supply chain management practices that are critical for holistically improving the "triple bottom line".George A. Zsidisin, Ph.D., C.P.M., CPSM, Professor of Supply Chain Management, Virginia Commonwealth University, USA; Co-Editor Emeritus, Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management
Purchasing and Supply Chain Management captures current developments in the field, integrating sustainability oriented analysis and resource based theory throughout. This makes the book unique as an up-to-date teaching text. I would wholeheartedly recommend it.

This textbook provides a unique, theory-based, practical and accessible contribution on the strategic importance of purchasing and supply chain management in advancing towards corporate sustainability. It is an important addition to responsible management education.
