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.

Property-Tax's Effect on Income Redistribution in African Countries
Tax plays an important role in the redistribution of income, and property tax is no exception. Although other taxes such as income tax play a more effective role in redistributing income due to their high revenue intake, property tax is a supporting tax to better achieve this objective for African countries. One key area that income redistribution curbs is the issue of income inequality, and, statistically, most African countries have a high level of income inequality due to their high Gini coefficient).

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.
