This research estimates the shared value created by constructing a hypothetical Hyperloop to transport cargo along 300 km in Northern Germany. Following Porter-Kramer (2011), we identified and evaluated eight factors that create shared value: travel speed, operating costs, safety, noise...

In recent years, researchers and practitioners have increasingly paid attention to food waste, which is seen as highly unethical given its negative environmental and societal implications. Waste recovery is dependent on the creation of connections along the supply chain, so that actors with...

Many standards exist today for corporate Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions accounting, yet a mechanism for transferring emissions reductions between companies in a supply chain is not well defined. This creates a serious gap for incentivizing businesses to take climate action when there is a...

The paper empirically assesses the effect of climate policy stringency on innovation and economic performance, both directly on regulated sectors and indirectly through supply chain relationships. The analysis is based on a combination of firm- and sector-level data, covering 19 countries and...

Industrial companies are to an increasing extent faced with requirements for better sustainability performance. Green market expands and green purchasing is regarded as a contribution to sustainable development. This paper examines impacts of implementing environmental management systems on...

In the context of globalization, the process of value creation is becoming more complex, exposed to greater risks for companies, partners, and customers.

Industrial agriculture and its technological package (intensive farming, mechanization, use of chemicals) are no longer in position to ensure food security (Altieri et al., 2012). To overcome the strongly negative externalities produced by this model, agroecological transition may be considered...

This research examines the short-run and long-run relationship between the retail gasoline price, the spot gasoline price, and the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil along the gasoline supply chain. We find mixed evidence of short-run asymmetry in all stages of the retail gasoline...

From employment to education, many areas of our daily lives have gone virtual, including the virtual workplace and virtual classes. By comparison, the way we generate, deliver, and consume electricity is an anachronism. And the electric industry’s outdated business model and regulatory...

This paper proposes a risk assessment framework as a research road-map, with the aim of developing a protocol that integrates the risk management requirements from the perspectives of the business and the government. We take the viewpoint of value modeling and interpret the risk management...
