Coming to the MyEducator catalog later this spring is Sustainability and Risk across the Supply Chain. Written by a world-class authorship team, author lead Lisa Ellram is joined by Stanley E. Fawcett, Carlos Mena, Wendy Tate, Elizabeth Davis-Sramek, and Vince Castillo to create a high-quality resource that will benefit students and instructors alike.
Why Teach Sustainability and Risk?
In a world calling for more sustainable practices, sustainability—and the accompanying risk—has been a conversation point for companies all over the world, with the question: How do we adopt sustainable practices while staying on the path to success?
It’s not easy, but in today’s global environment, it is becoming more and more important. There is no more valuable time for students to learn about all sides of sustainability and risk, setting students up for success as they venture out into a searching-for-sustainability world.
Sustainability and Risk across the Supply Chain, a Practical Resource for Educators
This resource is split into three main topics: the Strategic View, Sustainability across the Supply Chain, and the Sustainability Toolbox. Not only does this resource cover the practical sides of Sustainability, but it discusses how to lead effective change within organizations aiming to leave a more sustainable footprint. The world is rapidly changing; this textbook aims to provide students with the ability to help lead that change.
Sustainability and Risk across the Supply Chain approaches this as a journey for business professionals, entrepreneurs, and future leaders fully committed to improving, innovating, and ascertaining the continued success of their organizations.
The authors approach this body of knowledge from a practical, rather than a merely theoretical perspective. As a result, this resource covers a new way of thinking about sustainability, including human dynamics, principles, methods, tools, processes, and best practices.
