This comprehensive Research Handbook provides international perspectives on the role of information systems in environmental sustainability, drawing on groundbreaking research from leading scholars to predict future trends. This Research Handbook presents in-depth studies on green information systems which utilise a diverse range of approaches and methods, including reviews of previous literature, experimental studies, surveys, and interviews. Chapters focus on the development and promotion of energy informatics, the use of digital technologies in the implementation of a circular economy, and the role of information systems in supporting the integration of renewable energy. This Research Handbook further analyses the ways in which digital nudging, demand response, and the impact of psychological ownership can influence consumer behaviour and encourage sustainable consumption. Tackling the issues facing information systems and the environment on an individual, organisational, and societal scale, this Research Handbook will be crucial reading for students and scholars in business ethics, environmental management, information systems, and management and sustainability. It will also be beneficial for practitioners in business management and corporate social responsibility who are interested in environmental sustainability.
Shipping is the world's oldest sharing economy and is conducted in a self-organizing manner. Shipping is capital, energy, and information intensive, and with the growing impact of digitalization and climate change, there is a need to rethink the management and operations of this critical global industry - assisted in no small way by maritime informatics. Building upon the recently published inaugural book Maritime Informatics by Springer, this book will address some of the most recent practical developments and experiences, particularly from a global perspective. The focus of the book is to address contemporary movements to tackle global concerns and to complement Maritime Informatics.
This first book on Maritime Informatics describes the potential for Maritime Informatics to enhance the shipping industry. It examines how decision making in the industry can be improved by digital technology, and introduces the technology required to make Maritime Informatics a distinct and valuable discipline. Based on participating in EU funded research over the last six years to improve the shipping industry, the editors stipulate that there is a need for the new discipline of Maritime Informatics, which studies the application of information systems to increasing the efficiency, safety, and ecological sustainability of the world's shipping industry. This book examines competition and collaboration between shipping companies, and also companies who serve shipping needs, such as ports and terminals. Practical examples from leading experts give the reader real world examples for better understanding.
