Reviews

‘This timely collection offers a comprehensive review of interdisciplinary scholarship in sustainable business, alongside a future agenda for progressing research on multiple themes. An essential reference point for undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers wishing to contribute to this increasingly important field of inquiry.’ -- Josephine Mylan, University of Manchester, UK ‘Sustainability asks profound questions of contemporary businesses that cannot be answered through business-as-usual approaches, economists’ tendency to assume away unfortunate things, or by analyses limited to individual firms. This book resets the business and sustainability research agenda through a refreshingly multi-level perspective on key issues including supply-chains, post-pandemic resilience, degrowth and low-carbon transitions. A must-read to grasp the challenging future now unfolding for business.’ -- Ken Peattie, Cardiff University, UK ‘Despite the wide use of Brundtland's 1987 definition of sustainability, the term continues to be understood differently by different actors. The editors have assembled an impressive collection of thinkers across different supply chains and governance regimes to highlight the gaps in our current understandings on how sustainability is understood and operationalised within the corporate sphere. With a good balance of conceptual chapters and case studies, this book will serve both generalist and specialist scholars alike.’ -- Helena Varkkey, University of Malaya, Malaysia
