Institution:

Clarkson University

Subject:

Description:

In recent years, manufacturing organizations have increased their interest in environmental management through activities such as green purchasing, reverse logistics, product stewardship and design-for-the environment. These activities, usually involving several organizations, are often part of what is known as supply chain environment management. This course aims to gain a greater understanding of supply chain environmental management by examining: (i) the advantages and business risks of adopting and implementing environmental practices and technologies in the supply chain, (ii) the role of suppliers and customers to facilitate the adoption/ implementation of environmental practices and technologies, and (iii) the implications of such supply chain activities on an organization's operations strategy. This course consists of a mix of lectures and class discussion and relies primarily on a set of readings and a series of cases that will be analyzed in class.
