Why research in sustainable SCM should have no future - Ways forward - Measurements

3 important questions on Why research in sustainable SCM should have no future - Ways forward - Measurements

There are three main problems with measurement. What are these?

  1. The focus on a limited number of stakeholders and outcomes.
  2. The measures don't account for the entire chain.
  3. The measures have an artificially (fake) limit to the amount of harm.

What would a measure such as life cycle assessment (LCA) change in terms of measuring the whole chain?

  • The level of analysis to the product/service that the chain delivers.
  • There would be greater scope to capture the entire chain.
Determining an entire product's impact does not require data from all members of the chain, because much can be assumed.

What would be an important step towards conducting research that accounts for all stakeholders?

Capturing a chain's communal impacts.

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
