Over the past few decades the rapid spread of information and knowledge, the increasing expectations of customers and stakeholders, intensified competition, and searching for superior performance and low costs at the same time have made supply chain a critical management area. Since supply chain is the network of organizations that are involved in moving materials, documents and information through on their journey from initial suppliers to final customers, it encompasses a number of key flows: physical flow of materials, flows of information, and tangible and intangible resources which enable supply chain members to operate effectively. This book gives an up-to-date view of supply chain, emphasizing current trends and developments in the area of supply chain management.

This multidisciplinary approach to the Western Balkans addresses topics from responsible business and ethics, innovation, corporate social responsibility, and new technology to human resources management. It is a theoretical and practical guide towards a sustainable future for the Western Balkans, showing drivers and barriers affecting the region in its effort to green its economy, and provides a systematic and holistic overview and critical examination of the situation in the region. Chapters explore a review of the literature and developing theory, and report empirical procedures. If the Western Balkan countries are following the industrialised states of Western Europe - which are now keen to develop in a sustainable manner, combining economic growth with social justice and improved environment - this work fills the growing need for more research and to expand the current knowledge base about environmental and development challenges, as well as the new, efficient and climate-neutral 'Green Economy' of this region.

Le tubercule d’origine andine qui conquiert l’Europe par petites étapes à partir du xvie siècle est devenu si commun qu’il est parfois décrit à l’aide d’images stéréotypées. Ce livre propose un renouvellement historiographique important, par les thématiques qui sont envisagées, les espaces abordés et les périodes chronologiques considérées. Le lecteur trouvera ainsi réunies des textes sur les Amériques, l’Europe et l’Asie. Pour comprendre sa diffusion, les voies de cette innovation alimentaire et l’évolution des formes de sa consommation, plusieurs champs ont été mobilisés. L’histoire rurale et l’histoire urbaine, l’histoire économique et l’histoire des techniques ou encore l’histoire alimentaire sont convoquées dans leurs approches pluriculturelles. L’économie d’une filière et la géographie d’une culture devenue aujourd’hui celle du quatrième produit alimentaire mondial apparaissent dans toute leur ampleur. Enrichi de l’ajout d’un CD audio pour inclure une belle sélection de chansons dédiées à la pomme de terre, l’ouvrage permet donc de dépasser la simple étude d’une ressource potagère et d’une industrie agro-alimentaire. On y retrouve la présence de la pomme de terre dans des millions d’assiettes, chaque jour, à travers le monde.
