“…There are several aspects that favour or limit the implementation of the circular economy, although this area requires more emphasis from the scientific community, and it is possible to categorize these as aspects that have an ambivalent nature, for example. These are aspects that can be both drivers and barriers, such as the government, the cultural dimension, the market, or technology [103]. As previously mentioned, the inclusion of new technologies represents a new opportunity for the circular economy; however, the necessary acquisition costs simultaneously represent a barrier that needs to be explored in order to clarify the cost-benefit ratio, also considering the internal characteristics of each organisation.…”

“…In the research by Mishra [102], seven dimensions were identified: knowledge and skills barriers, technological barriers, cultural barriers, financial barriers, strategic barriers, governmental and regulatory barriers, and market barriers. In the perspective of Münster et al [103], barriers and drivers have an ambivalent nature, where the cultural aspect (society and attitudes), the market (customers and economy), regulations (legislation), technical knowledge, and the system (the holistic view of the process) can both favor and hinder CE implementation attempts.…”

The circular economy has become a topic of increasing relevance in the scientific field, and the literature on it has developed considerably in recent years. Therefore, a review is needed to contribute to the understanding of this term, which is under constant debate. This article aims to analyze scientific articles from qualitative and quantitative research approaches on the circular economy. The methodology used was a systematic review of scientific literature from Scopus and Web of Science; 67 scientific articles were systematized under inclusion and exclusion criteria related to the specific objectives sought. The results showed that there is still a long way to go in developing a theoretical framework that can be put into practice due to the divergence of existing perspectives or approaches, although its application to different fields of study is being considered. Likewise, its complex character is highlighted, while driving or limiting factors are observed. This research provides a theoretical contribution aimed at elucidating which implications of the circular economy need to be addressed in order to build a universal or flexible theory to understand what it means to plan for the implementation of the circular economy. In this way, it hopes to strengthen its practical application, which implies the need to create an overarching framework that can be adapted to different contexts and provide clear guidance on how to be part of the circular economy.

“…In that regard, companies can determine the core GM aspects that facilitate the transition to a circular economy from the current linear economy to minimize resource consumption and protect the environment effectively. According to Münster et al (2022), the rise of GM and the call for sustainable business practices from communities have prompted retail designers to consider the transition to the circular economy as a pathway for ongoing product innovation and environmental impact mitigation, reflecting the circular economy's capacity to foster creativity while addressing environmental issues. Thus, the integration of GM into corporate operations becomes a powerful tool for building a sustainable business strategy and generating the CET successfully (Rodríguez et al, 2020).…”

The hospitality industry has been highlighted as an important economic sector that is vulnerable to climate change. However, this industry is also considered to have a substantial contribution to the degradation of the environment by consuming excessive quantities of energy, producing approximately 8% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. Previous studies have proposed the circular economy as an optimal concept to address this issue by eliminating waste and maximizing resource utilization. In light of that, many hotels are striving to shift the traditional linear economy into a circular economy by adopting green marketing into their business operations. However, they still face many obstacles in making an effective transition to a circular‐style economy due to the lack of an appropriate approach. To fill this gap, this study aims to develop a framework to give insights on which aspects can foster the circular economy transition process through green marketing implementation. Therefore, this study proposes a hybrid method that integrates an exploratory factor analysis with a fuzzy synthetic method and a decision‐making trial and evaluation laboratory to structure the hierarchical model and provide guidance to decision‐makers for future improvements under resource constraints. The results reveal that advantage acquisition and behavior transition are the most influential aspects in accelerating the transition to the circular economy in the hospitality industry. The crucial theoretical and managerial implications are also discussed.

“…Furthermore, the study by Ren et al [16] mentions the main thing to achieve design performance is how the design team builds strength through collaboration, which leads to an understanding of performance requirements. On the other hand, it also requires multi-stakeholder collaboration because of the demands in providing retail buildings that are in accordance with end-user needs, and are responsible for the resulting environmental impact [21].…”

Design practice has shifted towards a performance approach that is based on an awareness of sustainability goals. Achieving this goal requires the integration of all participants through communication, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing (CCKs), specifically at the design stage. The participants are from different stages of the project which are design management (DM), project management (PM), and facility/property management (FM). The current research has not been able to clearly describe the practice in achieving design performance, especially involving the main three stakeholders (DM, PM, and FM). Thus, this study aims to fill the research gap by focusing on the influence of factors CCKs on the design performance of the commercial property, especially retail property. This will form a design, construction, and operational integration model to achieve the performance of retail properties in forming an optimal space. This study uses a method of quantitative study using a questionnaire survey. It was collected from 111 practitioners of the project participants (DM, PM, FM) in retail property development in Indonesia. There are different results in the correlation that the higher the factor value, the lower the space value performance. This correlation occurs in collaboration for PM, communication for DM, and knowledge-sharing for FM. This interesting finding can be explained empirically according to the preferences of each participant. This study contributes to knowledge about the influence of CCKs, which focus on the design of performance-based retail buildings to get the highest space value.
