From Sensing the Moment Towards Regenerative Action? Evaluating Dynamic Capabilities for a Circular Economy in Finland's Construction Sector
基于20次访谈，研究了芬兰建筑行业为实现净零目标而发展循环经济相关能力的现状，发现行业仍停留在感知和把握阶段，缺乏动态能力，且市场规范阻碍了转型。
Abstract Today's business environment is challenged by demands from many quarters to become more environmentally sustainable. One solution could be the circular economy, which has the potential to bring economic activities closer to net‐zero targets. However, transitioning towards a circular economy requires companies to develop new capabilities and rethink old practices. Using empirical data from 20 interviews, the present study investigates the capabilities that the Finnish building construction sector is displaying for net‐zero realization by circular economy‐based business practices. The findings show that the industry remains at the level of sensing and seizing, with some reconfiguring and regenerative elements. In addition, many firms lack dynamic capabilities, and the sector's current circular economy capabilities are limited to closing and narrowing loops. Moreover, normative market aspects hinder the move to a circular economy. To facilitate a more significant transition, firms need to elevate their ambitions to support circularity in a broader sense and engage in collaboration and piloting circular solutions.
