Opportunities for Sustainable Management

Food Waste in Hospitality Operations

“With a perfumer’s art, Ola Salem gives us a heady concoction of travelogue, history, and culture.” —Tilar Mazzeo, New York Times bestselling author A cultural journey through the world of fragrance, weaving together ancient tradition and modern artistry to tell the untold history of our favorite perfume trends of today Scent’s grip on how we feel and what we remember is distinct from our other senses. Unlike sight, sound, taste, or touch, smell bypasses the brain’s central relay, going straight to the limbic system where we process emotions and store memories. This means that a single whiff of perfume can instantly evoke nostalgia, moving us in ways we cannot always explain. Perfume has fascinated every civilization for millennia, evolving from a tool for ancient rituals to a $50 billion global industry. But long before France bottled its fame, Arabia perfected the art of scent—not just as a measure of beauty and attraction but also as a display of power. Yes, Chanel revolutionized fragrance with No. 5, Guerlain’s Shalimar reshaped how the East was imagined, and Tom Ford’s Oud Wood brought the scented wood to the streets of London, Paris, and New York. But places like the Arab gulf, North Africa, East Asia, which gave the world much of these ingredients and techniques, have been written out of their own history. “Intimate, funny, and deeply research” (Clarissa Ward, author of On All Fronts) and based on months of on-the-ground reporting across four continents, Egyptian American journalist Ola Salem provides a first-hand account of the perfume monopoly, interrogating the “fraghead” revolution, debunking industry stereotypes, and examining what the future of fragrance will look like. From Cleopatra’s perfume factories to the modern-day Sephora counter, from the jasmine fields of Egypt to the frankincense trees in Oman, Salem takes readers on an immersive cultural journey to shine a light on the oft-overlooked corners, cultivators, and creators of the fragrance world.

The Lost History of Perfume

Platform Supply Chains in the AI Era

This open access book provides a systematic and in-depth analysis of the critical risks inherent in modern platform-based supply chains. Employing rigorous analytical methods, including game theory and advanced, computationally efficient simulation techniques, it delves into three core areas: operational risks, information and data risks, and quality and compliance risks. The book moves beyond traditional supply chain paradigms to address challenges unique to the platform economy. This includes the strategic threat of platforms using seller data to launch competing products, the complex trade-offs in managing third-party product quality, the impact of reactive capacity on quality decisions, and the challenge of optimizing inventory across networks of unprecedented scale. It is an essential resource for graduate students, academic researchers, and advanced practitioners in the fields of operations management, supply chain management, and information systems. The content is suitable for readers with a graduate-level understanding of these disciplines.

Harnessing Multi-Source Heterogeneous Data for Public Transit

This open access book explores the network design and planning of platform-based supply chains in four chapters based on mathematical modeling, algorithm analysis, and numerical experiments. The main research methodologies in this book include mathematical modeling, linear programming, integer and combinatorial programming, and stochastic and robust optimization.&nbsp;What makes the book unique is the new insights into network design and planning for platform-based supply chains, which differ from those for traditional supply chains. This makes the subject in this book of significance, although there are abundant existing works on relevant topics for traditional supply chains. Another important feature of this book is the systematic perspective to unify network design in deterministic and uncertain settings for platform-based supply chains. By summarizing the new research results obtained from the implementation of a national project on platform-based supply chain, this provides a generalized scope on network design and planning for large-scale supply chains.

Synthesis Lectures on Operations Research and Applications

From Centralized to Decentralized Operations

The Science of Flexibility in Mobility

This book provides a timely and rigorous synthesis of human development, technology integration, and sustainability in modern warehousing. Its Three-Dimensional Integration Model offers both conceptual clarity and practical tools, enabling leaders to translate Industry 5.0 principles into operational reality. The integration of empirical insight with actionable frameworks makes it valuable for practitioners and scholars alike. I strongly recommend it to supply chain professionals and the next generation of logistics leaders. —
 Professor Robert McClelland, Dean, The Business School, RMIT University in Vietnam.Automation has changed what warehouse work is, and the people doing that work have largely been left to adapt on their own. This book opens a three-part study of modern fulfillment by examining what that adaptation asks of them.Roles have moved away from physical handling toward monitoring, exception handling, and judgment exercised alongside machines. This book traces that shift, then examines what it costs workers in cognitive load and in psychological safety eroded by continuous performance monitoring. Later chapters turn to what organizations can do, setting out competency-based learning pathways for workers whose skills no longer match the facility around them, and examining the four generations now sharing the warehouse floor, with a full chapter devoted to Generation Z expectations around flexibility and purpose.Sixteen assessment tools, frameworks, checklists, and implementation guides accompany the argument, each applied to a continuing case study of one fulfillment operation working through the same problems across all four chapters.Warehouse managers, operations executives, and supply chain leaders will find material they can apply directly, and the structure suits graduate and executive teaching. Throughout, worker capability and wellbeing are treated as operational questions rather than matters delegated to the human resources department.Scott Douglas McDonald

Dr. McDonald obtained his Ph.D. from Nottingham Business School, his D.B.A. from Horizons University, his M.Sc. from the University of Hertfordshire, and his M.B.A. and B.B.A. from Trinity College.

This book is the first complete guide to running a modern warehouse that works for people, technology, and the planet at the same time. It shows warehouse managers, operations executives, and supply chain leaders how to manage the move to smart, sustainable fulfillment without losing sight of the workers who make it succeed.
&nbsp;
The chapters progress from how warehouse jobs have changed, through workforce development, automation, and risk management, to measurement, sustainability, and the expectations of a new generation entering the field. The book grounds this journey in the principles of Industry 5.0 and Warehousing 5.0, introduces a practical Three-Dimensional Integration Model, and follows McDylan Fulfillment Solutions, a fictional company, through its full transformation.
&nbsp;
Readers gain real frameworks they can apply, honest case studies of both successes and failures, and clear guidance on the human side of warehouse automation that most books overlook, including worker well-being, security, and lasting environmental responsibility.

Workforce Transformation in Automated Fulfillment

The Human-Smart Warehouse, Volume 1

Management Practices, Economic Strategies, and Policies

Sustainable Aviation

In the fashion and beauty industries, relevance is everything, and innovation is critical to survival in competitive markets. Denise Hardesty Sutton presents a selection of curated case studies to highlight how innovation, often shaped by specific historical, cultural, economic, and socioeconomic influences, is a key factor in pivotal events initiating fundamental change. Drawing on relevant contextual elements and insights from the entrepreneurial impulse-both inside and outside of traditional economic systems-Sutton covers a variety of turning points within the industries, including the introduction of maternity and plus-size women's apparel (Lane Bryant), new textiles, (DuPont's Kevlar), luxury streetwear (Dapper Dan), creative upcycling (feed sacks), new cosmetics markets (Fashion Fair), and business models in beauty (Weleda, Dr. Hauschka). As Sutton examines each case, she positions it within its unique context to illuminate the cultural meanings and impacts of its development alongside wider industry trends like the turn to inclusivity and the growing use of technology in pursuit of efficiency, product development, and problem-solving.

Responsible Leadership and Sustainable Management

This book investigates how to achieve 'just transitions' to greener and more digitised economies with proper access to remedy for victims of harm. It comes in the background of acceleration of energy and digital transitions, and growing calls for these transitions to be "just", by mitigating the adverse impacts of human activity on nature and protecting and respecting the rights of people and promoting equality and justice.&nbsp; The volume explores what good remedy looks like in mineral value chains. It shines a light on remedy as a critical, yet underexplored, component of growing minerals supply in the context of international and national frameworks for responsible business conduct and sustainable mineral production. Diverse case studies from multiple jurisdictions cover a suite of ESG issues (e.g., tailings dam breaches, cultural desecration, gender-based violence, Indigenous rights violations, artisanal and small-scale mining) and guide the reader on what effective remedy looks like in practice, what barriers persist, and how enterprises, governments, and civil society can work together to overcome them.&nbsp; The chapters are organised into three sections according to the mechanisms - legal, institutional and grassroots - that are commonly deployed to address harm. Readers of this book will benefit from grounded insights into the lived realities of those affected by mineral extraction and processing in their quest for remediation of harms, from improved understanding of the promise and the limitations of remedy in practice, and from insights into how remedy is conceptualised, implemented and contested across different geographies and minerals. The conclusions present a set of key principles for making remedy more effective in mineral value chains, and make recommendations to a broad set of minerals sector actors on how to improve remedy and ensure minerals contribute to a positive legacy to future generations.
