COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on certain industries calling for a sharp increase in the attention paid to the existing business model, strategies, processes as well as practices. COVID-19 has put them to the test of resilience and agility. Multiple concerns and considerations are at play for these industries to restore business sustainability by looking at more radical approaches to preserving their businesses. This book explores the effect of COVID-19 leading to discussions within the scope of resilience, agility, and sustainability among some selected industries such as manufacturing, airlines, e-hailing, and SMEs, and also explores the emerging Work-from-Home trends as a result of COVID-19. As the main contribution of this scholarly work, the book also introduces Resilience-Agility Business Scenario Matrix for identifying plausible organizational scenarios and COVID Business Matrix (CoBuM) for a Remade World.

Sustainable Manufacturing and Design draws together research and practices from a wide range of disciplines to help engineers design more environmentally sustainable products. Sustainable manufacturing requires that the entire manufacturing enterprise adopts sustainability goals at a system-level in decision-making, hence the scope of this book covers a wide range of viewpoints in response. Advice on recyclability, zero landfill design, sustainable quality systems, and product take-back issues make this a highly usable guide to the challenges facing engineering designers today. Contributions from around the globe are included, helping to form an international view of an issue that requires a global response. - Addresses methods to reduce energy and material waste through manufacturing design - Helps to troubleshoot manufacturability problems that can arise in sustainable design - Includes coverage of the legislative, cultural and social impacts of sustainable manufacturing, promoting a holistic view of the subject
For some, recycling is a big business; for others a moralised way of engaging with the world. But, for many, this is a dangerous way of earning a living. With scrap now being the largest export category from the US to China, the sheer scale of this global trade has not yet been clearly identified or analysed. Combining fine-grained ethnographic analysis with overviews of international material flows, Economies of Recycling radically changes the way we understand global and local economies as well as the new social relations and identities created by recycling processes. Following global material chains, this groundbreaking book reveals astonishing connections between persons, households, cities and global regions as objects are reworked, taken to pieces and traded. With case studies from Africa, Latin America, South Asia, China, the former Soviet Union, North America and Europe, this timely collection debunks common linear understandings of production, exchange and consumption and argues for a complete re-evaluation of North-South economic relationships.
