Supply chain management is a substantially complex area for many businesses due to its diverse set of actions, agents, decisions, risks, and uncertainties. Consequently, supply chains often break up in disarray due to their structural complexity coupled with risks and uncertainties in the absence of clear objectives. Isik Bicer addresses these issues by uncovering the fundamental trade-offs of supply chain management, their economic causes, and strategic implications. He offers a novel framework of supply chain management based on its role in economic systems. The framework shows four effective supply chain strategies according to business models and organizational sensitivity to operational trade-offs. Furthermore, it offers a detailed account of the digital transformation of supply chains, elaborating on crucial aspects of the design and implementation of digitalization. This is an indispensable source for supply chain professionals, consultants, economists, and policymakers with a keen interest in supply chain management.

This book sheds light on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) policy principles, practice, and the implications of integrating ESG factors into business operations, investment strategies, and corporate governance frameworks, across both developed and developing countries (Europe, Asia and the US). This is the first book which brings together academics from different continents to share their views and knowledge on this subject, with a focus on regional perspectives. The book argues that exhaustive research has been done on ESG integration for financial performance, risk management, and stakeholder engagement in developed countries and the research shows a positive correlation between ESG performance and value creation. Furthermore, transparency and accountability in ESG disclosures by companies have played a critical role in the firm's performance and market value. This is also supported by the regulatory initiatives taken by the government in promoting industry standards for ESG practices. On the contrary, developing countries face several challenges in the adoption and implementation of sustainable practices. The book underscores the importance of maintaining a harmonious balance between economic development and environmental and societal factors. The book examines the norms and standards which constitute ESG in Asia, Europe, US, it analyses whether ESG supports business management and GDP growth and looks at the main barriers to implementing ESG Policy by companies in the selected regions. It includes a comprehensive set of case studies from each region and across various sectors to demonstrate how ESG policy is implemented around the world. Researchers, scholars and students who specialize in sustainable development, development economics, and international business management will be interested in this book.

Society 5.0 is a concept that focuses on innovation and the creation of adaptable products and services. Integrating technology within society is crucial for the future, and the need to broaden the understanding of Industry 4.0 outcomes can be addressed by integrating them into the Society 5.0 paradigm. The book shows how Society 5.0 aims to create a human-centric society where technological development is accessible to all. Industry 4.0 technologies play an active role in daily life, industry, healthcare, and other areas, promoting progress, technological advancement, and individual wellbeing. The European Commission supports this human-centred perspective in its Horizon Europe research and innovation program. The series "Emerald Studies in Sustainable Innovation Management" explores the advancements of innovation management in turbulent times, with special attention to the transition towards a sustainable economy. The practice of innovation management is evolving rapidly, as a consequence of positive phenomena, such as digitalisation and the green transition, and negative ones, such as crises and global emergencies.

Emerging technologies are having a profound impact upon individuals and organisations. The 'always on' attitude that digital technologies encourage brings an equal mix of benefits and challenges. The ready availability of digital technology has transformed the way we live, learn, play and interact - but how a business can turn the tools into an economic and organisational advantage is not always clear.This new edition of Strategic Digital Transformation enables students and business leaders to take a strategic and sustainable approach to realising the value of digital technologies. It offers results-driven solutions that successfully transform organisations into data-driven, people-focused businesses capable of sustainably competing at a global level. These solutions are significantly shaped by the need for organisational digital maturity, high levels of digital and cultural interoperability and the purposeful application of AI. With four key areas of focus, the material moves through understanding digital business to planning, implementing and assessing digital transformation. The current challenges facing all small organisations, including limited resources, financial pressures and the lack of dedicated IT departments, are explored. The authors consider the ways in which innovation can increase competitive advantage, how innovative business models can create new opportunities and how a data-driven perspective can release embedded value within the organisation. Contemporary international case studies and examples throughout each chapter bridge theory with practical application and systematically document the patterns of activities that enable success. All chapters have been completely revised and updated to reflect advances in technology and to highlight the social and economic consequences of digital transformation.This textbook is a vital resource for postgraduate and undergraduate students of digital business, innovation and transformation. By showing how to initiate digital transformation across an organisation, it will prepare business owners, directors and management of small- and medium-sized businesses to take strategic advantage of new and emerging technologies to stay ahead of their competition.

Over the past thirty years or so, serious games, gaming and playful activities have come to occupy an important place in organizations. While this phenomenon is an ancient one, the use of games for serious purposes has become widespread over the last two centuries, and their development has been exponential, stimulated by that of information technologies. As a result, it has become necessary to understand the specificities of these games and play activities in order to innovate and create value within organizations. For this reason, this book aims to enlighten the reader on their variety, their specific features and what they can bring to an organization. Serious Games and Innovation Gains first uncovers the history of these kinds of games and play, their main characteristics and what they can bring in terms of a vision of the future. Above all, this book explores how these games and forms of play can be implemented, especially in areas such as progressive development, education, agility support, academic research, as well as military thinking, cyber defense or knowledge base building contexts.

Servant leadership is both an ancient concept and a contemporary field of study and practice. The notion that true power and greatness comes from living one's life in service to others can be found in all the major religions. The modern incarnation of this concept can be traced to an essay published in 1970 by Robert K. Greenleaf called "The Servant as Leader". From the climate crises to the rise of authoritarianism to growing inequality, there are so many challenges to respond to. To succeed, we need individuals who are motivated and prepared to step up and take responsibility for serving the whole. These leaders differ dramatically from individuals who seek power and authority out of selfish desires for significance, control, or greed. In other words, our moment calls for servant leaders-a great many of them.

Supply Chain Analytics, second edition, introduces the reader to data analytics and demonstrates the value of their effective use in the improvement of supply chain process performance. By describing four-key supply chain processes, and illustrating, through worked examples, how the descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytic methods can be applied to bring about improvements to those processes, the book presents a more comprehensive learning experience for the reader than has been offered previously. Key topics and issues are addressed, including the capriciousness of modern era supply chain operating environments, the imperative that is supply chain sustainability, the need for heightened supply chain risk management, the building of supply chain resilience, the pursuit of supply chain optimisation, the use of big data, data mining, cloud computing, machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), and importantly the social issues confronting supply chain analysts in carrying out their work. The author identifies four core supply chain processes - strategy, design, execution and people - to which the analytic techniques explained can be applied to ensure continuous performance improvement and growth of competitive advantage.
