Abstract

A combination of primary and secondary research was conducted in order to realise the objectives of this project. Secondary research was conducted in the first phase of this project to identify the key issues pertinent to the development of sustainable supply chains. Secondary research informed the next stage of primary research and enabled the researchers to design an appropriate tool for the collection of case studies via key respondent interviews. According to Jankowicz (1995), this technique is especially useful in defining the essential characteristics of some issue by drawing on the personal experience and understanding of the people involved. The interviewees comprised a diverse group of practitioners, operating in many different contexts. The data collected from the secondary and primary research were then analysed to develop the various scenarios of future sustainable supply chains.
