Circular business model implementation: A capability development case study from the manufacturing industry
研究了制造业企业如何选择循环商业模式并发展相应能力来实施它，基于对三家瑞典制造企业的25次访谈，提出了一个包含模式选择和能力发展路径的实施框架。
Abstract Circular business models (CBMs) have huge potential to deliver economic, social, and environmental benefits, but CBMs have yet to be implemented widely in industrial settings. One reason is that they are often presented as one‐size‐fits‐all solutions, but this is misplaced because product‐specific criteria and company capabilities determine the correct choice and implementation of CBMs. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate how CBM selection and capability development facilitates the implementation of CBMs. For this purpose, we have adopted a qualitative research approach and undertaken 25 explorative interviews in three large Swedish manufacturing companies. In this paper, a CBM implementation framework consisting of two parts has been developed. The first part addresses the choice of the appropriate CBM based on tactical configurations. The second part provides a capability development path by explicating underlying routines that need to be progressively developed in order to move smoothly to more advanced CBMs.
