Abstract
In this presentation, Prof Wong will use ecosystem perspective to explain how supply chains (economic systems) affect the flows of nutrients and energy that lead to ecosystem degradation, which in turn threatens ecological and community resilience. By so doing, he then questions whether sustainable supply chain management research is heading towards building sustainable and resilient businesses and societies. He will then discuss the challenges business and management researchers face regarding what we choose to research. He will highlight some solutions debated by environmental scientists and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that we shy away from. This serves as a platform for suggesting alternate a research paradigm.
