Abstract

This note is designed to help faculty embed environmental sustainability content into their core Operations Management course at the MBA or undergraduate level. It can also be used to identify cases with environmental content that can be used in operations electives such as Operations Strategy, Supply Chain Management, and Global Operations. Such integration is key to graduating students with the ability to identify and manage environmental challenges that confront (or will confront) their operations and supply chains, and with the perspective to understand when and how they can create and capture value by making their operations and supply chains more environmentally sustainable.
