This book presents innovative research on various aspects of
sustainability in the field of operations management and
illustrates the potential of sustainability thinking and
practice to improve operations performance and thereby meet
customer needs. Particular attention is devoted to corporate social
responsibility and marketing strategy, knowledge management for
sustainability, the role of culture in a sustainable built
environment, sustainable manufacturing through the application of
lean and green concepts, advancing sustainability through ISO
standards, and the sustainable supply chain. The present decade is
proving to be a time of change in terms of business strategies and
operations management. Many of the trends are still subject to
uncertainty, but an understanding of the need for, and benefits of,
sustainability can give a clear indication of their trajectory.
Consumers and markets in general believe that while implementing
their business strategies, companies should also try to improve
society and the environment and to exercise social responsibility
toward their employees. This book provides insights into how this
may be achieved, and it is recommended for researchers as well as
all practitioners and managers dedicated to enhancing
sustainability in operations.
