Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America is a diverse place with different cultures, climates and geographical aspects. Although there are still many challenges in the region, in recent decades the context has changed dramatically. In 2012, the region had a population of 581.4 million, GDP equal to USD 5,344 billion and a life expectancy of 74 years, which is close to that of some developed countries (The World Bank, 2014). What's more, Latin America has a highly urbanized population (79%) living in some of the largest metropolitan regions in the world including São Paulo, Mexico City and Buenos Aires. Isolated and rural regions are still evident, and often require tailored infrastructure solutions: for instance, hospitals and bank agencies established aboard ships service local communities in Amazonia. As a region, Latin America is now a large potential market. Each of its countries has a booming middle class which increasingly demands more sophisticated products and services. Global companies are also investing in new plants in countries like Mexico in order to decrease the logistical costs of shipping from other regions such as Asia. While the Latin American retail industry is still dominated by smaller stores, or nanostores (Blanco and Fransoo, 2013), the global retail index published by A.T. Kearney in 2012 ranked Brazil and Chile at the top for retail growth. Some local multinational companies, or multi-latinas, are strong global players in diverse industries like airplanes, food, oil, cement, beverages, banking and telecommunications, amongst others. The region has highly competitive agribusiness supply chains like the Chilean wine, the Colombian rose and the Brazilian and Argentinean grain and meat supply chains, which are strong competitors in global markets. This is the context of this IJPDLM ebook. It is not only a call for businesses to leverage the future growth of Latin America, but also for academics in the region and around the world to renew their interest in research within the Latin American context: e.g. the need for effective supply chain management where there is a complex combination of raising markets, unique regional variations and contrasts.

Book excerpt: Supply chain management is the cornerstone of the competitive strategies of many presentday organizations and has evolved from the operational to the strategic level. Understanding this, Principles of Global Supply Chain Management offers a comprehensive insight into the global supply chain sector—analyzing the strategic, operational and financial aspects of the industry, and addressing the key elements in the management of global supply chains. The key topics of each chapter demonstrate a variety of fundamental issues in the supply chain industry: What are supply chain markets? What is the supply chain cost structure? What are supply chain strategies? How do supply chain firms design and implement strategies? What are the key roles of logistics service providers, logistics education operators and logistics associations? How should supply chain operations be managed? How is a sustainable and innovative supply chain structure created? Comparative practical case studies from Asia, North America and Latin America lend weight to the chapters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is designed to help public and private decision-makers and academics deepen their knowledge and understanding of the contexts, obstacles and challenges of a variety of business types involved in Industrial Symbiosis and Circular Economy practices. Industrial Symbiosis is reported in the Action Plan on the Circular Economy developed by the European Commission in 2015 (COM / 2015/0614 final) and in its revision of 14 March 2017, but relatively little is known of how these practices start, develop or fail, and mutate in a rapidly changing context. Including selected contributions presented at the 24th ISDRS 2018 Conference, “Actions for a Sustainable World: from theory to practice” in the two theme tracks “5c. Circular economy, zero waste & innovation” and “5g. Industrial symbiosis, networking and cooperation as part of industrial ecology”, this book offers a transdisciplinary perspective on real experiences of industrial symbiosis, performed both by industries and the scientific community, best practices, success and unsuccessful cases (implemented or under implementation), with the final aim to promote the adoption of Industrial Symbiosis as an operational and systematic tool for the Circular Economy. In particular, a focus on the environmental, social, and economic impact of Circular Economy and Industrial Symbiosis practices, and how those impacts may be context and/or scale dependent is given.
