Closed-Loop Supply Chains in Discrete Time
Durable products are mostly traded under discrete-time conditions, and consumers tend to have different purchase regret psychologies during the trading process of different types of durable products (innovative or remanufactured). In addition, different purchase regret psychologies can affect the dynamic decision-making behaviour of the nodal enterprises in the supply chain, thus affecting the dynamic decision-making optimization sequence of the supply chain and nodal enterprises.

Critical Thinking Skills Enhancement through System Dynamics-Based Games
This entry aims to explore and discuss the role of systems thinking and system dynamics- assisted games in enhancing critical thinking skills in learners. In more detail, the study relies on the use of a system dynamics-based interactive learning environment related to project management issues, followed by systems thinking-supported debriefing sessions. The interactive learning envi- ronment was developed and used in the form of a single-player, online, computer-based game. The game was designed to mimic all the necessary planning and operational activities needed to organize a wedding ceremony. The acquisition of critical thinking skills in learners was evaluated in three main ways: (1) players’ performances were analyzed through a scoring system embedded in the game that considers several performance dimensions; (2) feedback from the players was collected and analyzed by using basic content analysis; (3) players’ performances were analyzed using five main categories of structures that are typical of project management domains, i.e., project features, the rework cycle, project control, ripple effects, and knock-on effects. The findings show that the joint use of system dynamics and systems thinking tools and principles within a gaming environment has the potential to facilitate and enhance the acquisition of critical thinking skills in learners and may also provide valid support for educators and practitioners interested in the enhancement of project management skills.

Factors Influencing IoT Adoption on Agricultural Logistics Operations
There has been a notable surge in the utilization of emerging technologies, notably the Internet of Things (IoT), within the realm of business operations. However, empirical evidence has underscored a disconcerting trend whereby a substantial majority, surpassing 70%, of IoT adoption initiatives falter when confronted with the rigors of real-world implementation. Given the profound implications of IoT in augmenting product quality, the extant body of knowledge concerning IoT integration within the domain of agricultural logistics operations is endeavored.

Fuzzy ELECTRE I in Sustainable Manufacturing
The selectin of a demand forecasting method is critical for companies aiming to avoid manufacturing overproduction or shortages in pursuit of sustainable development. Various qualitative and quantitative criteria with different weights must be considered during the evaluation of a forecasting method; therefore, it is a fuzzy multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. An extension of fuzzy ELECTRE I is used to evaluate demand forecasting methods in sustainable manufacturing.

Supply Chain Carbon Emissions Reduction
While carbon emissions reduction brings about environmental benefits, it can also create financial pressure on many manufacturing enterprises. Many manufacturing enterprises have begun to pledge their own carbon emissions right quotas for financing and the funds from this financing are being used to implement energy savings and emissions reduction strategies. Methods for reducing the carbon emissions that are produced in supply chains and ensuring the sustainability of society have attracted the attention of the world. In fact, to decrease carbon emissions, countries have formulated many policies that are related to carbon emissions reduction.

Smart Cities and Citizen Adoption
Due to the irruption of new technologies in cities such as mobile applications, geographic information systems, internet of things (IoT), Big Data, or artificial intelligence (AI), new approaches to citizen management are being developed. The primary goal is to adapt citizen services to this evolving technological environment, thereby enhancing the overall urban experience. These new services can enable city governments and businesses to offer their citizens a truly immersive experience that facilitates their day-to-day lives and ultimately improves their standard of living. In this arena, it is important to emphasize that all investments in infrastructure and technological developments in Smart Cities will be wasted if the citizens for whom they have been created eventually do not use them for whatever reason. To avoid these kinds of problems, the citizens’ level of adaptation to the technologies should be evaluated. However, although much has been studied about new technological developments, studies to validate the actual impact and user acceptance of these technological models are much more limited.

Sustainability Alignment of Supplier during Industrial Revolutions
Suppliers have evolved alongside industrial revolutions, induced by their selection criteria for over two centuries. They have marched in step from mechanization (Industry 1.0) to mass production (Industry 2.0), customization (Industry 3.0), and digitalization (Industry 4.0 and 5.0). They have grown from standalone competitors to supply chains as their selectivity has escalated from a single measure to multiple criteria. Meanwhile, sustainability has remained a pledge with no enforceable indicators in their inter-creditor agreement, leading to a lack of social responsibility and ecological accountability.
