Abstract

This paper presents the theoretical basis of a conceptual framework designed to study Sustainable Supplier Development (SSD) in the UK tour operating industry. Three key areas are identified for examination within this framework: activities, processes, and influences on decision-making. The framework is grounded in literature on Supply Chain Management (SCM), Supplier Development (SD), organisational purchasing, organisational behaviour, inter-organisational relationships, sustainable development, environmental management, corporate social responsibility and tour operations.
