SUMMARY:CPD - Sustainable Reverse Logistics in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:In today’s digital age\, businesses are embracing technology to enhance their operations. With increasing sustainability requirements\, regulations\, and consumer preferences\, reverse logistics has become increasingly complex and crucial. Companies worldwide recognize the strategic importance of integrating sustainability into their reverse logistics\, but they face challenges in aligning economic goals with environmental and social objectives. Learn more about  reverse logistics by joining CARISCA’s continuing professional development course in “Sustainable Reverse Logistics in the Digital Age.” This CPD is accredited and co-hosted with the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT). Schedule: Nov. 8\, 2023 : Reverse Logistics and its Significance in the business environment Nov. 9\, 2023: Strategies and Tools for Effective Reverse Logistics Mode: Hybrid (Attend in-person at the Ghana Shippers’ Authority or virtually via zoom) By the end of the workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nBuild a business case a sustainable reverse logistics\nEvaluate the environmental\, economic\, and social benefits of integrating sustainability into reverse logistics.\nAssess industry-specific challenges and develop strategies for implementing sustainable reverse logistics in their respective domains.\nHighlight successful strategies and techniques currently used by businesses to merge sustainability and reverse logistics seamlessly\nIdentify and utilize key technological tools\, platforms\, and methodologies that support sustainable reverse logistics.\nFormulate actionable plans to integrate or enhance sustainable reverse logistics in their respective organizations or businesses.\nDesign key metrics to measure the performance of reverse logistics activities in the supply chain.\n\nLearn more and register

SUMMARY:Research Capacity-Building Workshop
DESCRIPTION:  \nRegister: https://bit.ly/CARISCA-FW112023 \nPanel data\, or longitudinal data\, enables researchers to make observations across time for different groups\, such as individuals\, companies or countries. It has a number of advantages over other research methods. \nLike time-series data\, panel data includes observations collected at regular intervals\, chronologically. An advantage of panel data over a single time series is that it can minimize estimation biases. \nLike cross-sectional data\, panel data contains observations across a collection of subjects. It also can detect and measure statistical effects that pure time series or cross-sectional data cannot. \nAnother advantage is that panel data contains more information\, more variability and more efficiency than pure time series data or cross-sectional data. \nLearn more about using panel data in supply chain management research by joining us Nov. 8 and 9 for a faculty workshop led by Sangho Chae\, associate professor of operations management at Warwick Business School in England. \nOn the first day of the workshop\, Chae will share potential sources of panel data for operations and supply chain management research. He also will explain how to identify other data sources and provide an example of how to extract data from these sources. \nOn the second day\, participants will work in groups to identify sources of panel data for research questions they have suggested. Each group will then give a presentation on how they would go about accessing and utilizing those data sources to address the research question. \nAbout the facilitator:\nSangho Chae joined the University of Warwick business faculty in August 2023. Previously\, he held academic positions at Tilburg University and Marquette University. He earned his PhD in supply chain management from Arizona State University in 2017. \nChae’s research focuses on supply network structures and their implications for innovation\, supply risk and sustainability. His research interests also include factors that bring changes to supply network structures. \nHe has been published in the Journal of Operations Management\, Journal of Supply Chain Management and Journal of Business Logistics\, among others. Several of his published studies leverage panel data analysis\, incorporating diverse data sources including FactSet\, Panjiva\, Refinitiv and Compustat. \nChae currently serves an associate editor of the Journal of Operations Management\, Journal of Supply Chain Management and International Journal of Operations & Production Management. \n
