Management Assignment #6: DQ(A)

DUE DATE: April 9th (19:00 EST)!!

PROMPT: 

10-15 years ago, sustainable business development or business sustainability were rarely used terms - you could not find them in most business texts.  By 2000, few trade publications began to call out this "new" business perspective - some thought it was just the next new business fad or trend. But, is it really so "new" - is it a fad?  Why has this concept taken off so rapidly in the past 10 years?  How has it changed Operations and Supply Change Management?
