Green is the new black in SCM…and similar conversion has taken place in Harvard Business Review.
Apparently, “no facet of doing business remains untouched”.
Where? How?
This has not been translated in many (all) of the textbooks I teach in Logistics and Operations Management.

New SCM journals pop up all the time; the latest one taking an ops mgmt view again. Here’s the link to Operations and Supply Chain Management – an International Journal (OSCM). One could also dubb it the “open access SCM journal” as downloads (as for now) are for free, printed copies only obtainable for a fee. I particularly like Benita Beamon’s opening article on “Sustainability and the future of SCM” that does for a change not only look at green SCM, but broadens the scope to diverse societal implications of SCM. Quite in vein of Árni’s “SCM for societal impact“.
And we are still in search for a good name for our textbook on that topic… Any suggestions?

The sustainable agenda has yet to find its way into textbooks within SCM. Besides sporadic paragraphs, and a occasional chapter (very rare!), most textbooks are centered around traditional performance objectives followed by related strategies and structures. Even titles of the textbooks contain more or less the same wording but in different order; operations, logistics, management, strategic, supply chain, planning, production………
Gyöngyi and I (Árni) want to do something about that.
We want to bring the sustainable agenda into the class-room in a format other than of journal articles. We want to experiment with disintermediation and the idea of open access.
More to follow on…..SCM for societal impact.
