Summary
To implement a circular business model, companies must instigate transformative changes at the supply chain level, engaging various stakeholders within and beyond their organisational boundaries through collaborative and open innovation efforts. However, existing literature lacks successful examples of companies implementing circular economy principles and practical guidance on the strategies firms should employ to effectively coordinate resources and capabilities for Sustainability- Oriented Innovation within Circular Supply Chains. The seminar provides valuable insights into strategies and practices conducive to implementing a circular business model and achieving triple- bottom-line outcomes in the Textile and Fashion Industry. Based on the evidence from an in-depth field study, the seminar will introduce a novel process model explaining how to tailor different Resource Orchestration mechanisms to different Sustainability-Oriented Innovation initiatives to implement a sustainable and circular business model. The seminar will cover topics at the intersection of Circular Supply Chain Management, Sustainability-Oriented Innovation, and Resource Orchestration theory. This seminar will also delve into the evolution of supply chain structures and relationships within the specific context of an industrial district facing the opportunities and challenges associated with the European Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textile.
