CHAPTER 11

Giving Voice to Values in Operations Management

Kathleen E. McKone-Sweet

Abstract

This chapter discusses the importance of values-driven leadership for operations management and presents the use of a Giving Voice to Values (GVV) case for teaching sustainability and supply chain management. We briefly summarize the Filipe Montez case, describe how this case is positioned within a supply chain management (SCM) course and how the case relates to other SCM topics, and present a teaching approach for the case. We also discuss the benefits to students and faculty by using GVV cases in operations management courses.
