The role of digital platforms to enable industrial symbiosis
This paper focuses on the intersection of digital platforms and industrial symbiosis, which represents a collaborative circular economy paradigm that brings together actors that exchange resources in mutually beneficial relationships. While scholars have acknowledged that digital platforms are one of the main enablers of circular economy and industrial symbiosis, literature on the role of digital platforms in enabling industrial symbiosis is scar…
Unpacking the Process of Integrating Sustainability into Management Control Systems
In recent years, organizations are adapting their control systems to meet institutional demands for sustainability disclosure. However, the process of integrating sustainability within management control systems (MCSs) remains underexplored, despite extensive literature on sustainability controls. Through the review of 85 articles, we investigate how the integration process unfolds, how and why it is addressed by different actors and identify ave…
Circular innovation in healthcare
In the light of current institutional pressures concerning sustainable development, Circular Economy principles emerge as an opportunity to mitigate environmental impacts, ensuring also economic and societal outcomes. The study investigates the adoption of circular principles within the New Product Development processes of the healthcare manufacturing sector, exploring how companies incorporate circular practices when developing healthcare techno…
Sustainable Development and Value Co‐Creation in International Business‐to‐Business Contexts
Regulations and the collective influence of the value chain compel business‐to‐business (B2B) actors within the nonwoven (NW) manufacturing industry to drive sustainable development. However, the literature rarely addresses how B2B actors aim to align with sustainable development to co‐create value and what challenges they face. Therefore, this study brings clarity to this question within the context of an international NW value chain that consti…
Building circular economy theories
Despite the growing interest in circular economy (CE) and the recognition of CE as a research field, the process of building CE theories remains underdeveloped and disorganized. Relevant reasons might include a lack of a clear understanding of what a CE theory can be, the prevalence of gap‐spotting research, and a lack of a common goal for CE scholars. First, this forum article defines “CE theory” adopting a positivistic approach. Second, the art…
Assessing the interplay between Open Innovation and Sustainability‐Oriented Innovation
Open Innovation and Sustainability‐Oriented Innovation are undoubtedly two of the most debated topics of the last decades, gaining the interest of policymakers, practitioners, and scholars all over the world. Even if they have been usually described as two independent research fields, there are some emblematic examples presenting interplay and synergy between these topics, represented either by the hybrid perspectives of Open Sustainable Innovati…
Circular economy
Action to pursue the circular economy (CE) transition is burgeoning in the government and the private sector. Does this action signal that CE is a distinct field of research with a unique disciplinary identity? This article argues that CE has reached field status, through its own epistemic communities characterized by increasingly shared methodological perspectives and normative ideals, and through institutionalized knowledge development through …
Designing business models in circular economy
The concept of circular economy is increasingly receiving attention in different domains, including strategic management, operations management, and technology management. It requires companies to design their business model (i.e., the value network, the relationships with the supply chain partners, and the value propositions towards customers) around a new concept of sustainable development that reduces consumption of natural resources and prese…
