‘Given the growing complexity of contemporary supply chains and new disruptive forces such as the global Covid-19 pandemic and accelerating technological changes in the digital era, there is no simple ‘sweet spot’ where the interests of industry lead firms, top suppliers and workers converge. The Lund-Thomsen book on Rethinking Global Value Chains and Corporate Social Responsibility offers concrete suggestions for navigating this contested terrain where neither the “business case” for social upgrading nor CSR alone are enough. Highly recommended for policy makers, practitioners, and students alike.’
