During the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain (SC) mapping appeared as
one of the critical SC capabilities that could make a striking
difference in organizations’ SC performance and improve
sustainable operations. Despite its crucial role in responding to
SC disruptions, there is a void in the literature on this topic.
This book aims to address this gap demonstrating the importance of
SC mapping, sustainability in the Industry 4.0 era. The book
explores how SC mapping contributes to sustainability from social,
economic, and environmental perspectives, the role of SC mapping in
upstream, midstream, and downstream SC sustainability, as well as
the role of technology advancement and the impact of blockchain and
Industry 4.0 in SC mapping. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach,
this edited collection features international authors from a
diverse range of disciplines including SC management, operations
management, technology and innovation management, and
sustainability. The book will be a valuable resource for global
scholars, researchers, and upper-level students across operations,
SC management, and logistics, as well as engineering and technology
management.
Human capital appears to be at the core of business strategies
helping firms to recover from the catastrophic effects of COVID19
and bounce back effectively. The book in hand provides a diverse
view of the human capital, its multifaceted role and application in
an organization. The book also offers a comprehensive analysis on
the role of human capital in industry 4.0, firm
internationalization, and organizational ambidexterity and outlines
strategies for the firm to improve its human capital readiness,
keeping in view the contemporary business dynamics. A very simple
and focused approach has been adopted through the book to make it
readable for the people from the diverse fields. The book also
focuses upon the conceptualizations and measurements of human
capital in order to offer conceptual clarity of human capital to
readers. A central focus of the book is how human capital interacts
with and complements other organizational resources and
technological developments. The book will be extremely useful for
top-tier managers, researchers, academicians, consultants, and
practitioners interested in gaining a current, relevant, and
diverse perspective on human capital, its dimensions, and
development.
This book provides an authoritative, inter-disciplinary, and
up-to-date survey of relevant concepts, research areas, and
applications of intellectual capital. Until now, the literature had
lacked a comprehensive analysis of intellectual capital (IC) in
regard to sustainability, block chain, and other related
technologies and virtual environments. This book shows the
importance of intellectual capital for contemporary organizations:
how it contributes to theories of the firm, how it affects
organizational performance, how is it linked with the
organizational ambidexterity, how it connects to the technological
developments like block chain and digital technologies, and what
would be its association with sustainability. Central to our thesis
is the systemic nature of intellectual capital in organizations:
how intellectual capital interacts with and complements other
organizational resources and developments. This book also shows as
to how applying the notion of intellectual capital to organizations
requires us to consider how intangible forms of capital differ from
more traditional forms, implying the need for a theory of firm that
accommodates a concept of dynamic, heterogeneous intellectual
capital. Although a lot has been written on IC, this book proves to
be the first with scholastic and action-oriented perspective on as
to how a firm can manage its IC to create value. This book also
demonstrates as to how the subjective aspects of IC can be measured
and what can be their strategic implications. A discussion on IC
disclosure also appears in the latter part of the book. In doing
so, this book reveals as to how the value creation of today's
businesses is driven by the IC. This book also introduces the
readers to the new application of IC and its association with the
contemporary disruptive technologies. This is a book for IC
researchers and academicians who want to understand the diverse
aspects of IC, for business managers who want to be at the cutting
edge, for those early in their careers who seek a challenging new
path, and for the top-level managers of the world who have their
eye on the future.
