Abstract

This article seeks to provide research opportunities in “socially responsible supply chains”. I first provide some background and context from the wider literature. Then I outline case studies in emerging countries where large companies engage the poor as producers and the poor as distributors. Next, I discuss different research topics arising from socially responsible supply chains.
