Geotechnical Safety and Risk IV contains the contributions
presented at the 4th International Symposium on Geotechnical Safety
and Risk (4th ISGSR, Hong Kong, 4-6 December 2013), which was
organised under the auspices of the Geotechnical Safety Network
(GEOSNet), TC304 on Engineering Practice of Risk Assessment and
Management and TC205 on Safety and Serviceability in Geotechnical
Design of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and
Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE). Geotechnical Safety and Risk IV
covers six themes: (1) Geotechnical uncertainty and variability (2)
Geohazards such as landslides, earthquakes and climate changes (3)
Reliability and risk analysis (4) Reliability-based design and
limit-state design in geotechnical engineering (5) Risk assessment
and management in geotechnical engineering and infrastructural
projects, and (6) Practical applications. Geotechnical Safety and
Risk IV is an excellent source of reference on the latest
developments and practices of geotechnical risk and safety, and
will proof to be invaluable for civil engineers (particularly
geotechnical engineers), geologists, and natural hazards reduction
agencies. ISGSR IV is a continuation of a series of symposiums and
workshops on geotechnical risk and reliability, starting with
LSD2000 (Melbourne, Australia), IWS2002 (Tokyo and Kamakura,
Japan), LSD2003 (Cambridge, USA), Georisk2004 (Bangalore, India),
Taipei2006 (Taipei, Taiwan), 1st ISGSR (Shanghai, China, 2007), 2nd
ISGSR (Gifu, Japan, 2009) and 3rd ISGSR (Munich, Germany, 2011).
This book contributes to blockchain applications in food supply
chain management from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
By using the case study research method, it empirically
investigates why and how food companies implement blockchain
technology. Moreover, it proposes a conceptual framework based on
the case findings and extant literature. The book provides
empirical evidence to verify academic findings such as critical
success factors and barriers. Furthermore, it identifies the
implementation process to answer the ‘how’ question. Uniquely,
it applies the innovation process model and the practice-based view
(PBV) to studies on food supply chains and blockchain. Thus,
building on the original model and theory, it enriches the theory
on blockchain implementation, making it a valuable asset for all
researchers and practitioners interested in blockchain adoption and
food supply chain management.

This book covers the scope of supply chain and logistics, which has
continued to grow with a rapid speed. The book includes core
aspects of supply chain and logistics philosophy and practice. The
authors then cover the general principles of supply chain and
logistics that can be applied in countries throughout the world.
Where concepts cannot be generalized, they are based primarily on a
European model. The authors have also added some international
material and examples from China, Pakistan, India, and the USA. The
book is intended to help in the quest of supply chain and logistics
to reduce cost and improve service, as well as to keep up-to-date
the different facets of supply chain and logistics in a global
market. In addition, this book helps candidates to who are
undertaking examinations for universities and professional
institutes, and bachelor and master students who are studying for
degrees in supply chain management. In addition, the book covers
technical terminologies, definitions, and a supply chain
dictionary.

Undeniably, the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is
not new, but there is a huge difference between understanding the
concept of CSR in developed and developing nations. In developing
countries, firms have little interest in adopting CSR as a strategy
in their business goals. The best practices, techniques, and
empirical studies conducted around the globe must be discussed in
detail in order to encourage the incorporation of the best CSR
strategies for regionally diverse businesses. Global Corporate
Social Responsibility Initiatives for Reluctant Businesses is a
critical reference source that covers the scope of global corporate
social responsibility, which has continued to increase in the last
couple of decades. The book includes core aspects of corporate
social responsibility philosophy and practices in different
European, North American, and Asian countries. This authored book
helps readers to understand the corporate social responsibility
practices in different countries and also provides a holistic
picture of global CSR and emerging trends with the support of
empirical studies. Covering topics including internationalization,
Islamic CSR, green public procurement, CSR strategy, and
sustainability, this book is essential for managers, executives,
human resources managers, policymakers, academicians, researchers,
students, and practitioners.
