Springer Green Supplier Evaluation and Selection: Models, Methods and Applications

This book offers an introduction to various models and methods for green supplier evaluation and selection (GSES) within different information settings. As such, it provides valuable knowledge, useful GSES methods and practical examples that can be considered by manufacturers in selecting appropriate green suppliers to improve their environmental performance and customer satisfaction. This book is useful for practitioners and researchers working in the fields of supply chain management, operation management, information science, industrial engineering, and management science. It is also useful as a textbook for postgraduate and senior undergraduate students.  From the Back Cover This book offers an introduction to various models and methods for green supplier evaluation and selection (GSES) within different information settings.
