Full Description
This
book highlights what it takes to be successful in identifying and executing environmental
responsibility from an operational perspective. It provides cutting-edge
research from globally recognized field experts. It is a useful resource for practitioners
to explore why and how firms engage in environmentally responsible operations,
but also a valuable resource for academics as an introductory reference that
provides direct exposure to key environmental operational problems faced by
many firms today. This book can also be used as an introductory reading for
students with varying educational backgrounds - from business school students interested
in environmental issues to environmental scientists interested in obtaining a
business perspective - as it provides a broad scope of key issues at the
interface of operations management and environmental and social responsibility.
Environmentally
Responsible Supply Chains
is structured in a modular fashion, with each chapterintroducing and analyzing
a specific timely topic, allowing readers to identify the chapters that relate
to their interests. More specifically, the book distinguishes between two key
drivers of environmentally responsibility: Profit and Regulatory compliance.
The book is divided into five sections. The first three sections of the book
explore profit driven environmental responsibility, and provide examples as to
where the motives for environmentally responsible business practices come from,
where business opportunities are, and what operational perspectives are key to
profitability. The last two sections of the book focus on regulation as a
driver of environmental responsibility and identify motives, opportunities, or
operational perspectives as to effective regulatory compliance. Ultimately the book introduces the reader to the fundamentals of sustainable operations and highlights the latest research on the topic.
