“…Yet there are differences between CE thinking and its predecessors. Indeed, CE thinking emphasizes economic and business opportunities (Aminoff and Kettunen, 2016;Velis, 2015), which is perhaps not surprising as it seeks to engage the business community, a significant lever in any transition (Franklin-Johnson et al, 2016). The practitioner literature views the CE as 'an economy that provides multiple value creation mechanisms which are decoupled from the consumption of finite resources ' (EMF et al, 2015: 23).…”

“…Murray et al, 2015;Antikainen and Valkokari, 2016;Geissdoerfer et al, 2017). Literature on the topic is fragmented and spread across a number of more established fields, giving limited attention to implementation and the implications for business models and supply chains (Aminoff and Kettunen, 2016;Lewandowski, 2016;Lieder and Rashid, 2016). This is despite the significance of SCM in terms of innovation and transitionary capability towards the CE (Aminoff and Kettunen, 2016;Hopkinson et al, 2016), and the substantial implications of CE principles for current SCM practice (Nasir et al, 2016;Genovese et al, 2017).…”

Circular modes of production, known as the circular economy, are welcomed in political and business circles to overcome the shortcomings of traditional linear operating models. Academic literature on the circular economy is nascent however and little attention is given to supply chain management implications, regardless of the relevance of supply chain innovation towards a more resource efficient and circular economy. Based on a review of the literature, this article presents preliminary propositions concerning implications for the development of what we term 'circular supply chains', defined here as the embodiment of circular economy principles within supply chain management. Our propositions are based on the following arguments: a) a shift from product ownership to leasing and access in supply chain relationships; b) the relevance of structural flexibility and start-ups in regional/local loops; c) open and closed material loops in technical and biological cycles; d) closer collaboration within and beyond immediate industry boundaries; and e) public and private procurement in the service industry as a lever for the scaling up of circular business models. We discuss what these circular economy principles mean in terms of supply chain challenges and conclude with limitations and future research agenda.

“…Although Blomsma and Brennan [17] identify growing excitement about the CE concept, they argue that this needs to translate into the validation of claims to overcome uncertainties, and to prove that it can be operationalised. Here, collaborative innovation is seen as being required to create sustainable system impacts, which is supported through increased experimentation and the upscaling of CE solutions to contribute towards sustainable transitions [10,[22][23][24][25]. Collaborative circular oriented innovation (COI) is also central to both the European Union (EU) and Dutch government's sustainable future vision and strategies [26][27][28][29].…”

Why Do Companies Pursue Collaborative Circular Oriented Innovation?

We investigate why companies collaborate within the circular oriented innovation process. The purpose is to understand what motives trigger collaborative circular oriented innovation, as well as conditions, drivers and barriers. First, we define circular oriented innovation building on sustainable oriented innovation literature. Subsequently, we investigate 11 leading circular economy companies operating within the Netherlands, who developed collaborative circular oriented innovation activities. ‘Hard’ and ‘soft’ dimensions for innovation are identified and applied to delineate the drivers and barriers for collaborative circular oriented innovation. Our findings indicate that collaborations are conducted by entrepreneurially-minded actors through sharing a vision, enthusiasm, and crucially, a credible proposition for a circular economy. Furthermore, collaboration is sought early, to co-develop the problem and solution space and integrate disparate knowledge from across the value network, to mitigate increased complexity. Motives to collaborate vary between personal and organisational, and intrinsic and extrinsic levels. Collaborations start based on a relational basis between ‘CE front-runners’ to advance knowledge through experimentation. ‘Soft’ challenges to advance collaborations towards the competitive remain around culture, and the mindset to share rewards and risks. Without suitable solutions to these challenges, collaborative circular oriented innovation could remain underdeveloped within the transition towards the systemic level.

“…This is becoming particularly relevant in conditions of cyclic economy development, focused on natural resources recovery. [11,12,13,14] Virtually, in terms of budget income, the most effective economic entities are joint-stock companies, shares of which are in the federal property. State property of the Russian Federation has been the leading form of ownership, which has the largest weight.…”

The article analyzes the structure of enterprises and organizations by forms of ownership in Russia. The main methods of state and municipal property administration are shown, administration tendencies are revealed that provide for effective tools, including those involving private funds in the implementation of state and municipal property administration programs on the basis of contractual relations and the mechanism of public-private partnership. The mechanism of public-private partnership on the basis of attraction of private investments should be aimed at the creation of public infrastructure, ensure the effectiveness of management of property in state and municipal ownership, as well as improve the quality of socially-significant services, provided to the population. The assessment of economic effectiveness is carried out; and the factor dependence of formation of net assets on financial results of activity of the enterprises, which are in the state ownership, is revealed. The performance indicators of state-owned enterprises were calculated according to the "Systems of indicators to assess the effectiveness of State Property Management and forming statistical observation." The peculiarities inherent in state enterprises, the processes of formation of net assets due to the obtained financial results in the previous financial period on the basis of correlation-regression analysis are revealed. Based on the evaluation of performance indicators and correlationregression analysis, proposals were developed aimed at improving the efficiency of state property management.
