If you’re a long-time reader of Supply Chain Management Review, you’re familiar with Larry Lapide’s “Insights” column. Typically, Larry is writing about the many facets of planning, but occasionally, he takes on a provocative topic. One year, he questioned whether it was necessary to be a Top 25 supply chain leader, especially if in your industry, good enough gets the job done.
In this issue, he offers a provocative take on whether supply chains should be, in his words, “responsible” versus sustainable—think green. The topic was thought provoking enough to make responsible our cover line. We’re pairing Larry’s article with another thought provoking offering from Helen Eckmann, an associate professor at Brandman University. I first met Helen at an ISM conference a couple of years ago, where she posed a number of ethical dilemmas to a panel of senior supply chain managers and asked: “What would you do?” For this issue, she has turned that panel discussion into a series of stirring questions for readers that get to the heart of a responsible supply chain.
And, because we focus on supply chain education every July, we offer a column from Robert Lieb, a frequent contributor to Supply Chain Management Review and a professor at Northeastern University, about the future of supply chain management education programs. In Lieb’s view, we need to take care to preserve these programs that are vital to training the next generation of supply chain professionals.
