Tailoring collaborations with stakeholders for open circular innovation ecosystems
本文通过调查和访谈,研究不同利益相关者(如公共机构、学术界、民间社会)如何合作克服循环经济实施中的障碍,提出了开放循环创新生态系统的概念,为政策制定者和行业领导者设计合作策略提供参考。
This article explores how stakeholder collaboration within ecosystems supports the implementation of Circular Economy (CE) principles through Open Innovation (OI). Integrating insights from CE, OI, and innovation ecosystem literatures, it introduces the concept of Open Circular Innovation Ecosystems (OCIEs). Using a mixed-methods approach combining surveys and interviews, the study examines how different stakeholder groups—such as public agencies, academia, and civil society—address contextual, technical, economic, and cultural barriers to circularity. The findings reveal distinct yet complementary roles among actors, highlighting how open, multi-stakeholder networks operate in practice. The study advances understanding of OCIEs and provides actionable insights for policymakers and industry leaders aiming to design more targeted and inclusive collaboration strategies to accelerate CE implementation.
