“…Although case study analysis cannot provide generalised results, the present study unveiled some preconditions and enabling factors for the evolution of SBMs within a collaborative network that can be developed and enhanced in similar contexts. These antecedents of collaboration evolution and success somewhat correspond with those already highlighted in the literature on alliances [74,76] and cross-sector partnerships [73], yet also present some peculiarities and novel aspects. According to the results, the following factors could be considered as essential elements for the development of a successful and resilient SBM in a collaborative network: (a) shared values; (b) absence of opportunistic behaviour; (c) sharing of knowledge; (d) trust (relatedness and belonging); (e) commitment.…”

“…The shared values found among the network of collaborations stem from the personal sensitivity of the individuals engaged in the projects [73]. All the interviewees spoke about their deep propensity for recycling, sustainability and environmental respect.…”

“…The positive evolution of the collaboration is influenced by certain factors that arise during specific stages. In the formation stage, typical antecedents are the presence of shared values among the partners [73] and the absence of opportunistic behaviours. During the implementation stage, trust and commitment are the determinants of positive relational effects, such as relationship learning and cooperation.…”

Sustainability innovation is often not achievable by a single organisation; even if changes in business operations can lead to great advances towards a more sustainable business model (SBM), the effectiveness of these implementations largely depends on the combined actions of the organisation’s network of partners. The aim of this research is to analyse the way that SBMs and partnerships co-evolve to enhance the sustainability of the involved organisations and spread sustainability culture beyond the network. In doing so, this article presents a case study of the company Alisea as a business operating within a circular business model, along with its network of partnerships. The co-evolution of the business model and partnerships is led by enabling factors that characterise the underlying relationships. The role of cross-sector collaborations is demonstrated in terms of boosting the social and environmental dimensions of the circular business model, enhancing social and economic benefits within and outside the partnerships, and spreading sustainability culture in different sectors.

Historically, the presence of the commercial sector in the social sphere was reflected at any stage of the development of society (pre-industrial, industrial, and post-industrial). The article highlights the main conceptual forms of business participation in social processes, and it also describes the behavioral features inherent in business because of the purpose of its operation and the volume of contribution to social processes. The article reveals that each subsequent pattern of behavior does not preclude the previous one, and as the forms of participation of business in the social life of society develop, its inevitable integration can be observed.

“…However, despite the importance of this process, to the best of our knowledge the literature on Cross-Sector Social Partnerships has not studied it in any depth. We found no previous research that empirically analyzed its main antecedents or determinants, since until now the study of cause-effect relationships in this context appears to have been avoided [14]. This fact may have been influenced by the statistical methods that have been used in this research area, with a large number of qualitative empirical works based mainly on case studies [15,16].…”

The literature has highlighted that relationship learning constitutes a value creation pathway in business and non-profit collaborations. However, this process has not been studied in detail. The main objective of this study was to carry out an in-depth analysis of relationship learning by examining the main factors that favor its development. For this, a research model was developed based on the relevant literature in the field of Relationship Marketing and Inter-Organizational Learning. The hypotheses were tested with data collected from 102 Spanish firms in collaboration relationships with non-profit organizations. The results reveal the importance of four relational variables in the direct and indirect explanation of relationship learning-values shared by the partners, trust, commitment, and cooperation. First, shared values form a key antecedent of trust and commitment, these in turn are fundamental precursors of the partners' cooperation, and commitment and cooperation showed themselves to be the main determinants of relationship learning between firms and non-profit organizations. The proposed model could enrich the relevant literature and provide better understanding of the relational aspects that businesses and non-profit organizations should work on if they wish to improve their level of relationship learning.
