While the reverse logistics research has extensively addressed the technical aspects of product reintegration, very few insights are available on whether OEMs should commit themselves to a closed-loop. The structure of the monograph is aligned to the decision-making process of Original Equipment Manufacturers willing to investigate the potential of closed-loops. This decision-making process is structured around fundamental questions managers are expected to answer prior to running a circular supply chain: Does a closed-loop fit with the corporate objectives? Is it profitable to run a closed-loop? How should OEMs deal with free-riders' competition? Which product\/technology\/location setup leads to a profit-maximizing supply chain? The planning framework is finally applied to two case studies from the tire and the computer industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Baptiste Lebreton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3540389075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783540389071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.36d","brand":"Baptiste Lebreton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47424568197375,"sku":"9783540389071","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c6d3020d-b03e-4b92-aeae-0d3a3b99b951.jpg?v=1761531091","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/strategic-closed-loop-supply-chain-management-baptiste-lebreton-9783540389071","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
