"The Supply Chain: A System in Crisis highlights the multifaceted challenges facing modern supply chains. It examines the concept of a globalized economy, juxtaposing the promise of prosperity with the acute reality of worker exploitation and environmental harm. This thought-provoking book explores the interconnected relationships of supply chains with political problems, social crises, and the depreciation of natural resources. Analyzing in depth the rapid development of the global economic system and the subsequent vulnerability of the supply chain, international experts dive into the many issues exacerbated by this commercial evolution, covering the Rana Plaza disaster and Brexit shortages. Urging the reader to rethink supply chain management, the book calls for a transformation from mere value creation to sustainability and regeneration. Considering the power of systemic and holistic thinking as well as transformative public policy, it envisions a future in which supply chains emerge reborn and resilient. This seminal book is an indispensable resource for scholars of supply chain and sustainability management, corporate social responsibility, and responsible consumption and production. It will also be of critical use to practitioners, political decision makers, business strategists, and environmental and labor rights activists"--
