Given the ever increasing significance of socio-economic and environmental factors, the management of sustainable supply chains has become a complex and dynamic task. Multiple and conflicting objectives of stakeholders including suppliers, manufacturers, service providers, and retailers add to the complexity of decisions that modern day managers of supply chains face. With the unprecedented technological developments and innovations at hand, sustainability can be maximized for all the activities of a supply chain including: service concept and product design, material sourcing and procurement, manufacturing processes, delivery of the final product, and end-of-life management of the product. Consequently, the sustainable supply chains' problems require a systematic and integrated approach. Modeling and simulation, in general, as well as system dynamics and agent-based modeling, in particular, have the capabilities to deal with the complexity of sustainable supply chain related problems. This book will appeal to professionals and researchers in the fieldSummary: Part I: Introduction: An Overview of Sustainable Supply Chains -- Innovative Solutions for Sustainable Supply Chains: An Introduction -- Part II: The Unique Perspectives for the Sustainable Supply Chains -- Determinants of ITF R&D Technology Commercialization in Logistics and Supply Chain Industries: R&D Technologist Perspective -- A Meta-Analysis of Sustainable Supplier Selection Approaches -- Green Supply Chain Management, Green Innovations, and Green Practices -- The Road Towards a Circular Economy: The Role of Modular Product Designs in Supply Chains -- Policy Design for Sustainable Supply Chain Through Training: The Case of XYZ Packaging Company -- The Application of System Dynamics for a Sustainable Procurement Operation -- Part III: The Innovative Solutions for Industry-Specific Supply Chains -- Alternative Energy Policy for Mitigating the Asynchrony of the Wind-Power Industry’s Supply Chain in Brazil -- Resilience as Basis for Sustainability: Shortages in Production Supply Chains for Essential Consumer Goods -- Designing a Sustainable Tourism Supply Chain: A Case Study from Asia -- Sustainable Food Supply Chain Management: An Integrated Framework and Practical Perspectives -- Risk Assessment of the Timber Supply Chain in Southern Ontario using Agent-Based Simulation -- Part IV: Finale: Sustainable Supply Chains Continuum -- Finale: Sustainable Supply Chains ContinuumPPN: PPN: 1030108897Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-BUM | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXBM
