Reimagining capitalism is an imperative. We need to create a more inclusive and sustainable form of capitalism that works for every person and the planet. Massive environmental damage, growing income and wealth disparity, stress, and depression within developed economies amid a substantial economic boom are examples of how our current system of creating and distributing value is broken. We need to be able to factor into our decision-making the consequences of our actions not only for financial and physical capital but also for human, social and natural capital.
In order to provide actionable signals for business leaders, these impacts must be connected to accounting statements. Just as the development of the financial accounting infrastructure has been a necessary condition for the development of large-scale capital markets, the development of impact-weighted financial accounts (“impact-weighted accounts”) is a necessary condition for the development of capital markets driven by sustainability considerations.
What are impact-weighted accounts? Impact-weighted accounts are line items on a financial statement, such as an income statement or a balance sheet, which are added to supplement the statement of financial health and performance by reflecting a company’s positive and negative impacts on employees, customers, the environment and the broader society. The aspiration is an integrated view of performance which allows investors and managers to make informed decisions based not only on monetized private gains or losses, but also on the broader impact a company has on society and the environment.
The slides are lecture slides when I guess lecturing in the Post Graduate Program in Department of Accounting, La Trobe University, Australia. The majority of students attended this lecture are enrolled in Master of Professional Accounting and Master of Finance program. Among them there were also students from Master of Islamic Banking and Finance. This lecture was intended to enlighten students on the importance of Sustainable Development or Sustainability paradigm in accounting. Furthermore, the objective was to encourage students to be involved in Sustainability practice.

IN THIS SUMMARY
The earth today suffers from many problems ranging from climate change, insufficient food, dwindling energy resources, biodiversity, and poverty. Although the vast majority of human action is based on competition, many of the challenges faced by society could be solved through cooperation. In Co-opportunity, John Grant describes different cooperative solutions to sustainability problems. He focuses on five “bottlenecks” to sustainability, including representative democracy, how people define the “good life,” the relationship between buyers and sellers, the current free market model, and using return on investment as a measure of productivity. Through case studies of different people and organizations, Grant illustrates how social innovators can implement cooperative solutions.

How much do you really know about your suppliers? How could your supply chain be impacted by a natural disaster, another recession, or limited inventories?
Global supply chains have been brought to their knees in recent years as the result of host of massively disruptive events including devastating natural disasters, economic crisis, turbulent commodity prices, product recalls, and other unforeseen disruptions. These catastrophic events including Hurricane Irene, the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland, the Japan earthquake and tsunami, and the most recent Thailand flooding have put many suppliers out of business, leaving manufacturers stranded and production lines halted.
Executives are becoming increasingly aware of the risks of doing business on a global scale and are experiencing first-hand the havoc these supply chain disruptions pose to their bottom lines, brand reputation, and stock value.
Join Supply & Demand Chain Executive and IHS as they share expertise, tools, and best practices in supply chain risk mitigation, and supplier risk scoring. Speakers will discuss why managing risk in the supply chain needs to be a multidimensional approach taking into account:
Materials risk, knowing where volatile raw material prices are headed
Electronic Parts risk, ensuring the sustainability and authenticity of the components within your supply chain
Supplier risk, understanding what potential obstacles your suppliers might face
Global supply chains need this critical information now more than ever. Don't miss this chance to hear industry experts share actionable advice on leading tools and best practices for supplier risk management.
Optimization of Collaborative Planing and Decision Making in the Tourism Supp...Chiang Mai University
In the tourism industry, planing and decision making are complex operations. Mutual operations and activities are required across tiers in the supply chain including suppliers, service providers, intermediaries (travel agents and tour operators) and customer (tourists). Such interdependent processes are also vary across various stages in the supply chain starting from planning, pro- curement, purchasing, productions, transports, inventory/storage, sales and proportion as well as customer services. By making decisions in these stages, the objective of all parties should be to maximize the overall profit of the supply chain as a whole, not for individual. By making a decision with collaborations across the supply chain, the collaborative firms could gain a better outcome. Such collaborations can be done in every stage especially forecasting, planning and execution. To support such collaborative decision making, a tourism supply chain optimization model was modeled. The model includes main supply chain players such as suppliers, hotels, travel agents and tourist attractions. The model was developed to maximize the profit of the whole supply chain. In comparison, the model was also compared to the scenarios where individ- ual profit is the objective. The actual data from the tourism supply chain in Thailand was used to validate the model. The optimization found that the supply chain profitability can be reached when the decision making is made under collaborations in the supply chain. The outcome can be greater when the collaborations are supported by information sharing and team work.
Development in the Supply Chain of the Philippine Agri-tourism Industry:Elmer Esplana
Paper presentation presented by Socio-economist and interdisciplinary researcher Elmer R. Esplana during the 1st International Agriculture & Tourism Expo, World Trade Center, Pasay City, Philippines, July 1, 2011
Supply Chain Management as a discipline has witnessed a tremendous growth during the last two decades. Following are the some of risks or issues due to operational problems in supply chain management.
Demand Management
Inventory Management
Secondary Production Planning
etc.
Tsunamis, terrorist attacks, hurricanes, and volcanic eruptions have impacted the global economy in the last 10 years. The effects of a “discontinuity event” such as a natural disaster, geopolitical shifts, economic uncertainty and demand/supply volatility to your business can be significant, impacting suppliers, vendors and customers. In our new report, Supply Chain Risk Management, we address the need for companies to proactively prepare for the worst to protect their business operations and weather the storm of unforeseen events.
Explore new thinking on potential risk to global supply chains and how companies are adopting the statistical methods more commonly associated with finance and insurance. Identifying and profiling risk variables, quantifying risk, and using IT solutions can create higher resilience.
Supply chain risk management (SCRM) is "the implementation of strategies to manage both everyday and exceptional risks along the supply chain based on continuous risk assessment with the objective of reducing vulnerability and ensuring continuity".
SCRM attempts to reduce supply chain vulnerability via a coordinated holistic approach, involving all supply chain stakeholders, which identifies and analyses the risk of failure points within the supply chain. Mitigation plans to manage these risks can involve logistics, finance and risk management disciplines; the ultimate goal being to ensure supply chain continuity in the event of a scenario which otherwise have interrupted normal business and thereby profitability.
