Summary:

"This timely Handbook brings together a range of international experts to discuss sustainability, proposing a new framework for cross-disciplinary research. It provides a comprehensive overview of theoretical and empirical approaches to the economics and management of regenerative production, evaluating sustainability in relation to global production and innovation networks. Renowned authors address pressing challenges, such as climate change, deforestation, desertification, technological advancement and rising social inequality. The Handbook highlights the importance of supply chain management and critical approaches to sustainability, including ethnographic drone interventions in the Global South. It also presents forward-thinking suggestions for future academic research, illustrating the need for scholars to think beyond established disciplinary boundaries to leverage synergies between fields. The Handbook of Grand Challenges in Global Production and Innovation Networks will greatly benefit students and academics in international business, economics and development studies. Its valuable insights into the Sustainable Development Goals make it an essential tool for practitioners in sustainability, supply chain management and entrepreneurship"-- Provided by publisher.
