Recently sustainable development has widely been used by researchers, policy makers, and entrepreneurs in which development has to satisfy the society needs without harming the environment. Technology plays an important role in development, manufacturing, and supply chain. Managing technology and making decisions in environment-friendly way is called sustainable technology management. This may involve which products to be made, which manufacturing processes to adopt, which technologies to deploy, and how to deliver to customers. The topic of sustainable technology management will encompass research related to all such subtopics.
Problems in the research topic of sustainable technology management that need to be addressed are: air pollution, rising fuel and energy prices, resource scarcity, climate change, and waste generation. This requires technology management researchers and entrepreneurs to focus on areas like renewable energy, minimization of water and paper usage, recycling and waste management, green product design and manufacturing, green building, sustainable infrastructure and transportation, green technology, information technology, sustainable purchasing, sustainable packaging, sustainable marketing, and environmental management system. Companies that can manage to take care of the aforementioned areas may advertise that they and their products are more sustainable than their competition. This will yield better economic bottom line and satisfied stakeholders like customers, employees, communities where they are located, and regulators.
Sustainable Technology Management invites manuscripts that can be theoretical or applied research on managing technology involving decision-making related to renewable energy, minimization of water and paper usage, recycling and waste management, green product design and manufacturing, green building, sustainable infrastructure and transportation, green technology, information technology, sustainable purchasing, sustainable packaging, sustainable marketing, and environmental management system. Case studies and reviews are also welcome.
