A theoretical framework for strategy development to introduce sustainable supply chain management

The paper discussed on the managerial and research implications of sustainable supply chain management. We analyzed current researches about the sustainability and its introduction into the supply chain. And then, based on the necessity and requirements of sustainable supply chain management, we argued about what kind of strategies the company should conduct to obtain the sustainability in its supply chain. Finally, from the viewpoint of the company having the not-sustainable supply chain, we established the framework for strategy development to construct the sustainable supply chain, which could help the company in making a practical application, as well as could be suggested as research directions of future works to support it.
