Sustainable logistics concepts mainly focus on strategicdecision levels for example in supply chain design,warehouse location and standard transport mode selectiondecisions. This paper is addressing a more operativeapproach and analyzing green concepts for day-to-daylogistics decisions, commonly...

In logistics sustainability concepts such as CO2 footprint measurement, greenlogistics or empty transport reduction are developed and used in relative isolationfrom important future technology trends such as RFID, GPS or processautomation. This research contribution seeks for an integrated view...

Transport optimization for rail transports and especially rail operator co-operations are an inter-esting modeling environment due to three specific characteristics: First a simple minimum optimi-zation direction of e.g. transport distances may not be feasible due to connecting transport routes...

Only recently researchers have started to focus on the interface of production andoperations management and (corporate) entrepreneurship. The present study builds onthis developing research stream and develops and empirically analyzes a model thatillustrates how a firm’s entrepreneurial...

In this paper, the authors address the distribution of efficiency gains among partially autonomous supply networkactors in a manner they will accept as fair and as an incentive to cooperation. The problem is economicallysignificant because it requires substantiating efficiency gains in an...

Business and information systems engineering (BISE) has established itself as a distinct sub-discipline “between” business sciences and computer science at least in the German-speaking countries. This primarily becomes obvious by two facts. First, the BISE section is one of the largest...

The addressed scientific problem is the purpose to distribute the efficiency gains among partially autonomousactors in a supply web in a manner that the actors accept as fair and thus find it advantageous to cooperate witheach other.There are three reasons why this problem is economically...

Most scientific publications on the subject of value chain management only analyze which structures,processes and actions can contribute to the creation of cooperation gains. How the distribution of cooperationgains that were collectively achieved can influence the stability of such a...

Most scientific publications on the subject of supply chain management only analyzewhich structures, processes and actions can contribute to value creation, oftendisregarding the distribution of profits collectively achieved in a network ofautonomous actors. Distributive justice, or fair...
