  6. 14. Strategic Life-Cycle Modeling and Simulation for Sustainable Product Innovation

    Author : Henrik Ny; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sustainable product innovation; planning; strategy; backcasting; life-cycle assessment LCA ; strategic life-cycle management SLCM ; systems; modeling; simulation;

    Abstract : Many specific methods and tools have been developed to deal with sustainability problems. However, without a unifying theory it is unclear how these relate to each other and how they can be used strategically. A Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development (FSSD) is being developed to cover this need for clarity and structure. READ MORE
