Today´s demand patterns constantly claim for greener products from more sustainable supply chains. Handling these customer needs puts a constant pressure on the players: Ecological and social issues arise additionally to challenges like technology management and efficiency enhancement. Concurrently each of these holds incredible opportunities to separate from competitors, yet increases chain complexity and risks. This volume, edited by Wolfgang Kersten, Thorsten Blecker and Christian Ringle, provides valuable insights into: Sustainable Supply Chain Efforts, Handling Risks: Concepts towards robust SCM and Future Outlooks in Logistics

As the customer is demanding more sustainable and affordable products, the supply chains have to find innovative ways to fulfill this need. In this context, collaboration as well as optimization methods are becoming even more evident to enhance supply chain structure to an efficient and sustainable approach. While collaboration and optimization increase complexity and susceptibility, risk management needs to be applied concurrently. This volume, edited by Wolfgang Kersten, Thorsten Blecker and Christian Ringle, provides valuable insights into: - Sustainability in Logistics - Sustainability and collaboration practices - Supply chain risk management - Optimization methods in supply chain management. This volume addresses timely and relevant topics. Both researchers and practitioners are addressed and can obtain background information from current distributions by international authors presenting a state of the art research overview.

The importance of supply chain management is increasing. As companies and networks of firms compete globally, the management of the flow of products and information has become a crucial factor that can decide success or failure of a company. In this context, an important task is the optimization of the inter-organizational collaboration and an effective approach to manage the risks in the supply chain. This volume, edited by Wolfgang Kersten, Thorsten Blecker, and Christian M. Ringle, provides valuable insights into: - new approaches for supply chain risk management - supply chain complexity management - innovative supply chain and product design - summaries of international case studies. This volume addresses timely and relevant topics. Both researchers and practitioners are addressed and can obtain valuable background information from current contributions by international authors presenting a state of the art research overview.

As a central success factor of international supply frameworks, supply chain management has become a key concept in the strategic and operational decision-making of globally active companies. In this context, an important task of process optimization approaches is to enhance inter-organizational collaborations as well as efforts towards more sustainability and a better understanding of risks within the supply chain. This volume, edited by Wolfgang Kersten, Thorsten Blecker and Carlos Jahn, provides a valuable insight into: - new concepts in supply chain risk management, - innovative approaches for supply chain sustainability, - considerations of supply chain design and performance, and - international case studies for logistics optimization. With this book, central insights concerning international supply chain management and current collaboration practices can be gained. Both researchers and practitioners are addressed and can obtain valuable background knowledge from current contributions by international authors representing different perspectives on central issues in modern business research.

Many of the challenges posed by megatrends like globalization, shorter product life cycles, advanced information technologies and sustainable development have been successfully approached by advanced supply chain management techniques. Consequently, supply chain research has to always be one step ahead of present requirements to successfully deal with the complex structures of business today and in the future. Research has to disclose new developments and opportunities. This volume, edited by Wolfgang Kersten, Thorsten Blecker and Christian Lüthje, will provide insights into: - approaches for innovations in supply chain risk management - holistic considerations of co-operative and collaborative supply and logistics management - innovations for the design of competitive and sustainable supply chains - novel developments in the field of logistics and supply chain management This volume appeals to practitioners and researchers alike, who are interested in current contributions by international authors, providing theoretical, empirical and case-study oriented background and information on their research work.

Globalization, shorter product life cycles, and new information technologies – competition takes no longer between companies, but between entire supply chains. Hence there is a need for a synchronized measurement and improvement of supply chain performance occuring, which is a complex construct overall. Supply chain performance management encompasses therefore all methodologies, metrics, processes, systems, and even software applicable to this task. This volume edited by Wolfgang Kersten, Thorsten Blecker, and Matthias Meyer provides information on how to measure and improve the performance of logistics and supply chains by the mean of different strategies, processes, and metrics of an interorganizational performance management.
