Circularity as a dynamic capability: A review and future agenda for a circular transition
Main Article Content
Abstract
Circular economy practices are increasingly aligning with the strategies of organizations operating in innovative and dynamic environments and can be considered a new capability to be explored. This study aims to systematize knowledge about dynamic capability and the circular economy. The results reveal that an organization’s ability to transition from a linear to a circular model is directly related to its capacity to develop dynamic capabilities, facilitating the integration of circular practices into its strategies and enhancing performance.
