Leading the Loop: Anchor‐Led Orchestration in Nascent Circular Ecosystems—A Qualitative Case Study
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The transition towards a circular economy necessitates coordinated, systemic change across value chains. Yet the role of anchor firms in initiating and orchestrating nascent circular ecosystems remains underexplored. Using an inductive, qualitative single‐case design, we analyse a German mid‐sized entrepreneurial firm, drawing on 21 interviews
