消费者和政府正在向企业施压，要求它们在盈利和可持续性之间取得平衡。然而，只有当公司能够采取整体方法来维持整个生态系统的资金流(利润)、资源流(行星)和发展流(人员)时，这种平衡才能长期保持，整个生态系统包括新兴市场/发展中市场的贫穷生产者、全球供应链合作伙伴、发达国家的消费者和地球。通过考虑与生态系统内不同实体相关的流动，我们对运筹学/管理科学(OR/MS)的最新研究进展进行了分类和总结。此外，我们还为这一重要领域的未来研究确定了几个差距。
Consumers and governments are pressuring firms to strike a balance between profitability and sustainability. However, this balance can only be maintained in the long run if the firm can take a holistic approach to sustain the financial flow (profit), resource flow (planet) and development flow (people) for the entire ecosystem comprising poor producers in emerging/developing markets, global supply chain partners, consumers in developed countries, and the planet. By considering the flows associated with different entities within the ecosystem, we classify and summarize recent Operations Research/Management Science (OR/MS) research developments. Also, we identify several gaps for future research in this important area.
