Synopsis
This book offers a stable definition of sustainability, which is able to serve as an anchor for further research. It compares new and demanding requisites with existing models (process and network architectures in the field of logistics)., Currently the notion of "sustainability" is used in an inflationary manner. Therefore the authors start with a definition which is stable to serve as an anchor for further research as well as for discussions among scientists, managers and politicians, ideally across different disciplines. The character of this book is purely conceptual. The argumentation is based on comparison of new and demanding requisites with existing models (process and network architectures in the field of logistics). Formerly neglected impacts on the environment will be included. Main features of a new approach will be developed which are capable to avoid these impacts and to align logistics with the requirements of sustainability. In order to make logistics sustainable large parts will have to be reinvented. The focus needs to be on decoupling transportation activities from economic growth rates., Currently the notion of sustainability is used in an inflationary manner.

- s***j (1273)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseG.D. Pickering's books are one of those that you can't put down until you finish it! Lots of accounts from readers about their OWN encounters. These books are addicting, so if you're like me, and cannot wait until another one ships, I suggest buy a few at a time then, a few more, etc.... If you're undecided, buy just 1. You won't regret it
