Content:
This book is primarily intended to serve as a research-based textbook on sustainable supply chains for graduate programs in business, management, industrial engineering, and industrial ecology, but should also be of interest to researchers in the broader sustainable supply chain space, whether from the operations management and industrial engineering side or more from the industrial ecology and life-cycle assessment side. As firms become ever more tightly coupled in global supply chains, rather than being large and vertically integrated monoliths, the risks and opportunities associated with activities upstream or downstream will increasingly affect their own wellbeing. For firms to thrive, it is increasingly imperative that they be aware of the economic, environmental and social dimensions of the supply chains they operate in, and that they proactively monitor and manage them. Finding effective solutions towards a more sustainable supply chain is increasingly important for managers, but raises difficult questions, often without clear answers. This book provides students and practitioners valuable insights into these kinds of questions, based on the latest academic research.
