*IIMB Management Review*
The book focuses on the concept of reduce, reuse and
recycle…Although the cases given in the book are from Asia, the
relevance of the book is equally important to all the managers
irrespective of their geographical region of operation…. The book
is a must read for the present and future generation managers.
*Management and Labour Studies*
Purba Halady Rao’s book, belongs to a different category. It
assumes, at the outset, that the development trajectory is rooted
in the idea that big-is-inevitable (as against small-is-beautiful)
and takes the argument further to demonstrate that it need not
inevitable be environmentally disastrous…. Greening the Supply
Chain should certainly be considered recommended reading for
students of management as well as activists in the area of
environment protection.

The presentation is lucid and will motivate managers of companies
to acquire ISO 14001 certification and also develop in-house
environmental management systems suited to their needs. This book
will be useful to management students and others interested in the
corporate social responsibility.

Greening the Supply Chain: A Guide to Asian Managers is timely as
it touches the economic and emotional chord of Asian entrepreneurs
