“…A detailed analysis of the extant literature seems to be a valid approach (Ji, Gunasekaran, and Yang 2014), as it is an essential phase in forming a research area and forms a central component of any research undertaken (Easterby-Smith, Thorpe, and Lowe 2002). The latter argument is supported by Walsham (1995), who states that the strategic chore in developing a research structure and design is to describe the research method that the research team has adopted.…”

“…In order to reduce carbon emissions, organisational leaders have focused on transforming their internal operating structures and business processes including their external SC relationships (Matopoulos et al 2007). For instance, Hewlett Packard, Walmart, Samsung, UPS and Tesco all have considered green supply chain management (GrSCM) and thus have instigated in reducing the burden of their own SCs on the environment (Ji, Gunasekaran, and Yang 2014;Wahab, Mamun, and Ongkunaruk 2011). In particular, these organisations have designed and operated SCs in order to limit their carbon emissions since CO 2 is the dominant release due to fuel combustion.…”

PRODUCTION PLANNING & CONTROL, 2017 VOL. 28, NO. 6-8, 684-To explore the relationship between sustainability strategies and future energy needs, supply chains need to reduce their CO2 emissions through developing their green credentials and improving performance. Knowledge management (KM) is an enabler to support collaboration efforts. The SCM and KM areas have largely focused on improving organisational performance. While the latter has yielded successful outcomes in different sectors, there is still a scarcity of research on identifying influential factors highlighting those aspects which may enable green supply chain collaboration (GrSCC), thus leading to sustainable energy futures and carbon-efficient production. This paper examines the role of KM in facilitating GrSCC. Through the identification of key factors extrapolated from the literature, a model for implementing GrSCC using a futures-based perspective is proposed. This paper inductively demonstrates the relationship between identified GrSCC factors through fuzzy cognitive mapping technique. Findings support a futures-based perspective that enhances understanding and refines forward-looking strategies for GrSCC.

“…In both the categories, climate change is a fundamental and original driver either wholly or partly. This can be deemed as indirectly climate change induced obsolescence that has started to happen at various levels in a number of aspects of industrial economies, buildings, and our life styles in general -which are currently predominantly based on fossil fuels one way or another as a matter of 'carbon lock-in' [9][10][11].…”

Although the BIM technology is applicable to both new and existing buildings, it is arguably more established in the former than the latter. This is despite the fact that, in the UK alone, 70-80% of what has been built by 2010, is estimated to continue to exist for a number of decades to come: including the years 2020 and 2050 (the two main temporal deadlines in the Climate Change Act, 2008). In addition, this existing building stock is subject to obsolescence (both climate change-induced and non-climate change-associated) which in turn compromises sustainability. Thus, there are three notions that appear to be interwoven, i.e. Obsolescence, Climate Change, and Sustainability: the question is whether BIM can be exploited to address these.There has been only limited research work to explore the possible influence of BIM upon obsolescence, climate change, and sustainability as individual issues, and none reported, to-date, in terms of an approach to their collective consideration. This paper conceptually explores how BIM can be related with all three crucial notions simultaneously as well as discretely. It is argued that such studies can be particularly valuable in the face of escalating pressures in terms of future obsolescence risks, overwhelming evidence of climate change, and escalating sustainability agendas. The paper reviews current work that relates state-of-the-art BIM to the three notions, both separately and collectively, and thereby delineates the potential for BIM to play a role in addressing the three issues simultaneously.

“…The SSCM composes with bilateral movement of substantial and intangible sources and three dimensions of sustainability which apply the evaluation of all stakeholders in an organization and environmental obscureness for the corporations (Beske, 2012). In SSCM, social performance (i.e., non-environmental performance) that emphasizes the consumers, stakeholders and employees, etc., economic performance indicates supply chain financial lucrativeness, and the environmental performance means to execution as regulation side (Ji et al, 2014). According to Gupta and Desai (2011), SSCM is a set of managerial practices that include environmental impact as a compulsory and consult the supply chain process based on value chain of commodity and multi-dimensional prospect that powers the product life cycle.…”

Sustainable supply chain management and collaboration have taken big attention from academicians and practitioners. The extensive literature review is conducted to analyse the relationship between Sustainable Supply Chain Management and collaboration and its effects on performance of SSCM dimensions. Then, a framework is proposed to explain the relationship between sustainable supply chain management and collaboration. For further studies the proposed framework should be tested empirically.
