خرید و دانلود نسخه کامل کتاب Purchasing and Supply Chain Management: A Sustainability Perspective سورنا بوک

This is the ground-breaking new book for  aspiring purchasing and supply chain leaders and anyone with a keen  interest in this rapidly evolving field. 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. As the first book to fully address the environmental,  social and economic challenges of how companies manage purchasing and  supply chains, it aims to inspire the development of current and future  purchasing and supply chain leaders. 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. A key message is that purchasing  and supply chain management needs to focus on value creation rather  than cost cutting. This requires the development of completely new  purchasing and supply chain models that involve closed-loop supply  structures, supply chain transparency and collaboration with new  stakeholders in traditional sourcing and supply chain processes.

Aimed at students, educators and  practitioners the book integrates sustainability into each chapter as a  core element of purchasing and supply chain management. Incorporating  case studies from industry into each chapter, the book strikes a balance  between theoretical frameworks and guidelines for implementation in  practice.
