Carbon management in the logistics and transportation sector: an overview and…

While many studies have addressed the issue of environmental sustainability within the supply chain as a whole, so far no attempt has been made to specifically investigate the current status of carbon management issues in the logistics and freight transportation sector. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a systematic literature review of publications in the area of carbon management …

Success in innovation implementation

Increasingly, how well organisations innovate is becoming the single most important issue in determining their ultimate success. Referen- cing a variety of cases primarily drawn from governmental organisations, this paper argues that the key to successful innovation imple- mentation rests on the convergence of three different factors. First, an innovation must be properly framed in terms of sta…

Dendrochronological evaluation of ship timber from Charlestown Navy Yard (Bos…

More than 200 ships were built, and thousands serviced, at Charlestown Navy Yard (Boston, MA) in its 174 years of service for the U.S. Navy (1800–1974 C.E.). Recent redevelopment of portions of the former yard revealed an historic timber pond where hundreds of unfinished naval-quality ship timbers were intentionally sunk and remained buried until ca. 2008. Many of these timbers were offered t…

Chapter 2 : strategic challenges to container port in a changing market envi…

The global market place, with powerful and relatively footloose players, extensive business networks and complex logistics systems creates a high degree of uncertainty in the port industry and leaves port managers with the question of how to respond effectively to market dynamics. The focus of port competition is gradually changing and so are the roles of the various stakeholders involved. This…

Model for integrated project management

Although there has been important research on construction management’s life cycle, stakeholders, micro and macroenvironment, there has not been a model defi ned that can link the above. This while the need to integrate construction management’s life cycle, stakeholders, micro and macroenvironment into both theory and practice is essential. The Model for integrated project management, descr…

Dilemmas of balancing organizational and public interests : how environment a…

Corporate social responsibility implies more attention to company relationships with governments and other stakeholders. The need for intensive interaction is most conspicuous when company activities come close to the provision of (former) public goods, which also have strong environmental and social implications. This article examines how ports deal with environmental issues in their strategie…

Strategic levers of port authorities for industrial ecosystem development

Major ports such as Rotterdam, Antwerp, Houston and Singapore’s Jurong Port host large industrial complexes of (petro)chemical and other energy-intensive process industry firms. Port authorities face the challenge to contribute to both greater international competitiveness and better environmental performance of these complexes. The development of industrial ecosystems, in which firms located…

Measures for evaluating green shipping practices implementation

Despite the need for environmental management in shipping, there is no extant measurement scale that comprehensively captures green shipping practices (GSP) in shipping operations. In view of this research void, we investigate the construct of and develop a measurement scale for evaluating GSP implementation in the shipping industry. Based on conceptualisation of GSP in an earlier study and sur…

Applied process knowledge and market performance: the moderating effect of en…

Challenges the idea of an unconditional and positive influence of knowledge on performance without regard to environmental uncertainty. Focuses on applied process knowledge spanning the supply chain (i.e. considers supplier, internal, and customer sources). A survey of 208 manufacturing firms found the association between applied process knowledge and firm market performance is positive and sta…

Extending green practices across the supply chain: The impact of upstream and…

This research aims to extend the “collaborative paradigm” proposed by others in prior research beyond a supply chain’s core operations. To date, this paradigm has generated relatively little empirical research on peripheral, non-core areas such the natural environment. Antecedents (both plant-level and supply chain characteristics) of green supply chain practices (GSCP) are examined. Amon…

Slacks-based efficiency measures for modeling environmental performance

We develop two slacks-based efficiency measures for modeling environmental performance on the basis of environmental DEA technology. Of the two measures, one is a composite index with a higher discriminating power for modeling economic–environmental performance, and the other can be used to estimate the impacts of environmental regulations. We apply the proposed measures to model the CO2 emis…
