It emphasizes the importance of value creation rather than cost cutting and includes new examples and case studies from industry. The book is aimed at students, educators, and practitioners and integrates sustainability into each chapter as a core element of purchasing and supply chain management.

For far too long, businesses have prioritized short-term cost advantages through low-cost country sourcing, with little regard for the long-term implications of global sustainability. Purchasing and Supply Chain Management, Second Edition, not only comprehensively 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 fundamental 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 central message is that purchasing and supply chain management should prioritize value creation rather than cost cutting. This necessitates the development of new purchasing and supply chain models that incorporate 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.
