Operations Management and Sustainability New Research Perspectives
Operations Management and Sustainability “Many companies still wrestle to fully understand the implications of sustainability for their operations and supply chain management practices. This situation is not surprising, given the systemic interdependencies around sustainability. Written by an international team, this book therefore aims to build more comprehensive theory in this area, as well as offering practical solutions. The editors are to be congratulated for having put together such a timely volume.” —Lutz Preuss, Professor of Strategic Management, University of Sussex, UK “This is a comprehensive book on an important and highly complex topic. It brings together findings from a variety of research projects in the area of Sustainable Operations Management, employing different methods and theoretical perspectives, and covering different sectors and industries. The book presents an overarching, systems perspective on the topic, providing coherence across the different contributions.” —Annik Magerholm Fet, Vice-Rector and Professor, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway “This book provides a helpful collection of sustainable operations management chapters. It will be of interest to researchers and reflective practitioners alike, clustering topics around strategy, theory, practice and capabilities. Acting responsibly on sustainability issues is arguably the biggest challenge facing operations and supply managers, and indeed the world’s population as a whole. The book is both timely and relevant.” —Helen Walker, Professor and Chair of Operations and Supply Management, Cardiff Business School, UK
