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.

A multidisciplinary project focusing on supply chain innovation in the offshore wind energy sector has been carried out from 2014 to 2019. Based on in-depth industry involvement, the overall objective of the project is to provide new knowledge on means for Reducing the Cost of Energy (ReCoE) obtained from offshore wind parks through industrialisation of the sector. The project has been managed by the University of Southern Denmark and, beyond own researchers from the Faculty of Business and Social Sciences and the Faculty of Engineering, has also included researchers from the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. The whole project has applied a management approach to ReCoE. This book contains 16 selected articles disseminating practical relevant knowledge about supply chain management practice, maturity, innovation-fostering practice, supply network strategies, operations and maintenance, and emerging issues. The articles are encapsulated by an introduction to ReCoE and perspectives on future developments of research within this area.

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.
