Rethinking Supply Chain Management in a Post‐Growth Era
质疑供应链管理依赖无限经济增长的假设，提出后增长三原则（社会生态福祉、选择性缩减、系统思维），并探讨其对供应链研究与实践的影响。
ABSTRACT Supply chain management is grounded on the assumption that endless economic growth is compatible with environmental and social sustainability. Yet scholars from ecological economics question this assumption due to ever increasing evidence showing how hard it is to decouple growth from negative environmental and social externalities. In response, pressure from social movements is mounting, and the agendas of several countries already consider alternatives to growth. Therefore, this article presents a critical thought experiment for the supply chain management discipline: What are the implications of moving from the current endless growth paradigm to a post‐growth paradigm for businesses and their supply chains? Using the umbrella term “post‐growth,” this article identifies three key post‐growth principles—(i) socio‐ecological wellbeing , (ii) selective downscaling , and (iii) systems thinking —and then examines their implications for supply chain management research and practice.
