In so doing, it represents an important addition to the management literature on corporate social responsibility in global supply chains – which is highly topical at a time when companies are increasingly aware of the social and environmental aspects of global sourcing. After an opening systematic review of the literature on agency theory and supply chain management, it explores the rationale underlying collaboration among competitors, and the most critical aspects of such collaboration, in depth. Thanks to the book’s use of real-life examples, readers will learn how agency theory can help improve relationship management and address the major issues in sustainable global sourcing.SpringerBriefs in Business,2191-5482Industrial management—Environmental aspectsBusiness logisticsSocial responsibility of businessIndustrial organizationSustainable developmentSustainability Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/515040Supply Chain Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/519030Corporate Social Responsibilityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/526010Industrial Organizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W31010Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Corporate Environmental Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/528000Industrial management—Environmental aspects.Business logistics.Social responsibility of business.Industrial organization.Sustainable development.Sustainability Management.Supply Chain Management.Corporate Social Responsibility.Industrial Organization.Sustainable Development.Corporate Environmental Management.658.7Delbufalo Emanuelaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1059968BOOK9910298213903321Agency Theory and Sustainability in the Global Supply Chain2510013UNINA
