  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Systemic Flexibility and Business Agility

Part of the book series: Flexible Systems Management ((FLEXSYS))

Abstract

Consideration is being given to the interaction of flexibility and green perspective of supply chains. Flexibility has already been considered to be an important differentiator in the current market place. Several researches have already emphasized the need for flexibility in supply chains and demonstrated its effectiveness. Substantial research efforts are still required to incorporate the flexibility with a motivation to improving performance of green supply chains (GSCs). By understanding how organizational initiatives and government policies we can decision flexibility into design and management of GSCs. In doing so, we will initially focus on environmental management perspective. Here, decision perspective from environmental factors is moved to the technological decisions related to postdisposal disposition of products. In the present scenario, this is a critical topic that captures increasing concerns of organizations over sustainability, which is driven by government legislation and environmental pressures. The implication of this research emphasizes on the potential to affect future government policy and current production system, and to identify new business models. In furthering this analysis, we investigate and provide a background to better understand the current trends in this multidisciplinary field that intersect with GSC.
