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.

A circular economy perspective embraces a notion that we design
everything to be reused for as long as possible, and then
recaptured and repurposed when reuse is no longer possible.
Designing for a circular economy ecosystem requires a more
holistic, integrative viewpoint, spanning all aspects of design and
development and considering many supply chain actors, far beyond
that of traditional supply chains. Circular Economy Supply Chains
highlights the need for cross-industry flows and the need for
different actors (beyond producers and consumers) in circular value
cycles. While biomimicry provides the structure for organizing the
book, individual chapters build on other theoretical lenses and
concepts, such as stakeholder theory. This book intends to move
beyond a buyer-supplier view, embracing a holistic network or
ecosystem view, to consider a cross-industry system perspective,
where there is a diversity of actors needed for a working
ecosystem. This edited book offers a comprehensive overview of
system components and actors, including how the circular economy
adds value, the role of producers and consumers, the spectrum of
recovery possibilities to return products back to the consumption
supply chain, and the essential role of information management.
