Digital Circular Business Models
The concept of circular economy (CE) is receiving increasing attention worldwide as a way to overcome the issues of the current production and consumption model. It requires companies to rethink their supply chains and business models (BM). The CE is a regenerative economic system that necessitates a paradigm shift to replace the end of life (EoL) concept with reducing, alternatively reusing, recycling, and recovering materials throughout the supply chain, with the aim of promoting value maintenance and sustainable development, creating environmental quality, economic development, and social equity, to the benefit of current and future generations.

Preferences regarding Organ Allocation
Allocating organs is a societal undertaking, as preferring a particular patient always implies deselecting others who may not be eligible for future organ transplants. The priority-setting and decision-making depend on various stakeholders, including the general public (who are the potential organ suppliers who influence the availability of organs for transplantation), medical professionals (who are responsible for patient care), and the patients (who will receive the new organs)

Mitigate Disaster Effects in Closed Loop Supply Chains
The industrial world is increasingly exposed to risk as a result of major natural and man-made disasters, necessitating a rethinking of how industrial companies and communities recover. Experience has shown that policies designed to operate within a given range of conditions are frequently confronted with unexpected challenges when they are used outside of that range due to an unexpected disaster event. The increased level of complexity in the case of Closed Loop Supply Chains (CLSCs) turns them into vulnerable systems under a disaster event. The latter calls for a methodological approach that allows a dynamic study under alternative policies in mitigating the disaster effects with a focus on creating sustainable CLSCs.
