It will benefit a number of parties, including academics, since supply chain accounting and employment aren t brought together in research very often, and the project should therefore contribute toward the development of supply chain accounting and global commodity chain theory. Accountants, CEOs, CFOs, HR specialists and other practitioners have been engaged in the development of the SCA-Emp toolkit, as well as employment rights lawyers, politicians and practitioners in advanced and emerging economies Professor Dibben Management School Sheffield University
