ABSTRACT

This final chapter calls attention to the major conclusions and messages of the book for purchasing and supply chain management students and professionals. In particular, we highlight the different ways in which sustainability impacts purchasing and supply chain management practices. Following this brief summary of key points, we set out what we see as key sustainability challenges for purchasing and supply chain management. We conclude the book by reflecting on recent developments in higher education towards sustainable, or responsible, management in general and, more specifically, purchasing and supply chain management education.
