Smoothing the circular economy transition: The role of resources and capabilities enablers
Abstract
A transition to the circular economy may be a solution to dissociate financial growth from negative environmental impacts. However, this transition can require an in‐depth understanding of which enablers an organization requires. This research aims to identify the enablers of the circular economy presented in the literature and analyze them against the theories about resources, capabilities, and dynamic capabilities and against the ReSOLVE framework. Through a systematic literature review, this research identified thirteen enablers grouped in three different dimensions (management and people; structure, product, and process; and relationship with stakeholders). Some enablers can be considered as resources, capabilities, or dynamic capabilities and are capable of helping firms to reach a successful transition to the circularity. They may even be sources of competitive advantage in the context of circular economy, mainly the enablers of the dimension “structure, product, and process.” The dimensions of enablers have direct and indirect links with the ReSOLVE framework action areas. Through the discussions of some real cases, it was possible to exemplify how some enablers lead companies to circularity. Besides that, this research posits seven research gaps for future studies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
