Sourcing to Support the Green Initiative
The green or environmental sustainability movement has taken hold throughout the world. Its staying power is confirmed by that fact that environmental emphasis did not decrease during the recent global recession, but rather increased. Organizations see that greater environmental emphasis in their product and service offerings not only helps their image, but also may help reduce inefficiency, waste and corresponding cost. However, since most organizations rely heavily on their supply base for providing components, materials and services that become part of their final products, organizations must revisit their sourcing processes and choices to have a real impact on the environment.

Supply Chain Finance
Supply Chain Finance is a contributed book looking at the two major perspectives of managing finance across the supply chain. The first is more short-term, focused on accounts payables and receivables. The second is a more overarching perspective, focused on working capital optimization in terms of inventory and asset management. It includes chapters from a variety of research perspectives, as well as from business and policymakers. The authors look at the benefits of the supply chain finance approach including reduction of working capital, access to more funding at lower costs, risk reduction, as well as an increase of trust, commitment, and profitability through the chain. Supply Chain Finance includes theory as well as practical case studies addressing advances in the area of supply chain finance. The editors and contributors look at how to design and implement supply chain finance in supply chains and examine what the future holds for this important area. Online supporting resources include self-test multiple-choice and essay questions for each chapter.

Lisa M. Ellram - Une pionnière de la théorisation du Supply Chain Management
Lisa Ellram a contribué très tôt et de façon importante à la recherche dans la logistique et le Supply Chain Management. Ses premiers travaux datent de la fin des années 1980. Avec Martha Cooper, Lisa Ellram est l’une des premières femmes à s’être intéressée au domaine du Supply Chain Management (SCM). Ses premiers travaux se sont intéressés à la structuration du champ de la logistique et du Supply Chain Management au travers du questionnement des relations client-fournisseur. Elle étudie plus particulièrement les partenariats amont, notamment au travers de la sélection et de l’évaluation des fournisseurs. Une seconde orientation importante de ses recherches a été de questionner la logistique et le SCM selon différents prismes : théorique (théorie des coûts de transactions, théorie des parties prenantes) et méthodologique (étude de cas, enquête). C’est autour de ces deux grandes orientations que nous allons organiser la suite de notre chapitre.

Handbook of Theories for Purchasing, Supply Chain and Management Research
Answering the strong call for theory application and development in purchasing and supply management (PSM) and supply chain literature, this Handbook is an essential reference that provides extensive guidance on which theories to apply, how to apply them, and when to build theory. Introductory chapters present the background of theory in PSM, providing a mapping of major types of theory to deliver guidance on appropriate theory application and when a new theory or mid-range theory development is required. Featuring more than 25 theories with relevance across management research, each chapter presents an excellent overview for beginning the exploration of a certain theory. The authors discuss assumptions about different theories such as agency theory, transaction cost, and game theory, and explore levels of analysis, unit of analysis, variables and relationships, as well as key research findings. In addition, chapters include lists of selected seminal literature for further reading. The Handbook will be a key reference for scholars in management and marketing fields, particularly empirical researchers in operations and management sciences.
