This Special Issue contains one paper from The 25th NOFOMA conference and three papers that were accepted through the regular submission process. The annual NOFOMA conference has its roots in the Nordic countries (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland) and the latest conference was arranged at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, June 3-5, 2013.
Based on the best paper selection process from the conference, a shortlist was created consisting of three papers that were invited to be considered for this Special Issue.
This process resulted in the paper "Organizing product recovery in industrial networks", written by Professors Igor Insanic and Lars-Erik Gadde. The conference version was awarded the DB Schenker Best Paper Award. The paper investigates the organizing of product recovery networks using the industrial network theory, applied on a case study of a recovery network for PCs. Insanic and Gadde's research concludes that the coordination of interdependent activities as well as the combining of physical and organizational resources are the most significant issues to consider when organizing product recovery.
The other three manuscripts, although not submitted to the NOFOMA Conference, each pertain to a topic that is highly familiar to NOFOMA conference participants: competitive differentiation through environmental supply chain strategies.
