Environmental challenges such as pollution, climate change, water
and natural resources depletion and dwindling bio-diversity are
true threats to the survival of our civilization, forcing us to
learn how to act now. Fortunately this is exactly what this book
does: presenting real life cases, along with theory, methodologies
and tools demonstrating how eco-innovation can support sustainable
economic growth and save our planet for future generations.
Following an introduction describing developments and directions of
eco-innovation, Section One discusses Models and Frameworks
Supporting Eco-Innovation, with chapters on search strategy for
radical eco-innovation; and systematic eco-innovation with TRIZ
Methodology. Section Two offers surveys and case studies showing
eco-innovation in practice, including a sketch of the
eco-innovative landscape in the Brazilian Cellulose, Paper and
Paper Products Industry; efforts to eco-innovate among large
Swedish companies; progress towards joint product-service business
models and more. The third section surveys future directions and
emerging trends, among them a new methodology for eco-friendly
construction; the development of lightweight small inter-island
ferries in Scandinavia and BioTRIZ: a win-win methodology for
eco-innovation. The book explores eco-innovation as a framework for
supporting the development of new business models which consider
the entire business ecosystem, on the way to a sustainable world.
Moreover, it explores the eco-innovation process in cross-national
and cross-sector perspective.

Supply chain management (SCM) strives for creating competitive
advantage and value for customers by integrating business processes
from end users through original suppliers. However, the question of
how SCM influences the value of a firm is not fully answered.
Various conceptual frameworks that explain the coherence of SCM and
company value, comprehended as value-based SCM, are well accepted
in scientific research, but quantitative approaches to value-based
SCM are found rather seldom. The book contributes to this research
gap by proposing quantitative models that allow for assessing
influences of SCM on the value of a firm. Opposed to existing
models that limit the observation to chosen facets of SCM or
selected value drivers, this holistic approach is adequate to *
reflect configurational and operational aspects of SCM, * cover all
phases of the product life cycle, * financially compare value
impacts of profitability-related and asset-related value drivers,
and * assess influences of dynamics and uncertainties on company
value.
