Edit: The Event has been cancelled
We are delighted to announce that distinguished UCLA Anderson School of Management Prof. Chris Tang will hold a research seminar on the topic: "Managing Supply Chains in the ESG Era".
He describes the seminar the following way:
In today’s economy, investors pay attention to ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) measures. However, ESG measures can be distorted if they do not explicitly incorporate a firm’s operations throughout its entire supply chain. In this talk, I discuss the key drivers for ESG investing, as well as the importance and value of unifying ESG and supply chain thinking. Finally, I discuss a recent research project and present some key challenges and opportunities for practitioners and researchers in both ESG and supply chain management.
Tang’s research contribution to global supply chain management is recognized by all three major academic societies in the fields of operations research, management science and operations management. He was recently distinguished for research exploring the impact of regulatory policies on the welfare of different stakeholders in on-demand ride service platforms. He has published six books, 30 book chapters, over 100 online blogs and over 160 research articles in various leading academic journals. (Source: UCLA Anderson Webpage)
