From muscle fibres to muscle gears: how dynamic fascicle orientation and shape change impact skeletal muscle function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle architectural design strongly affects force‐generating capacity and excursion range, and its functional importance to animal and human movement is well founded. Traditionally, this ‘structure–function relation’ has been inferred from architecture measurements with muscles at rest (from anatomical dissections or medical imaging ...

When Do Robots Go Green? Unveiling Mechanisms, Thresholds, and Spillovers of Industrial Robotics on Global Ecological Capacity

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the relationship between industrial robotics adoption and ecological capacity, measured by biocapacity, using panel data from 50 countries over the period 2000–2024. We investigate the transmission mechanisms, non‐linearities, spatial spillovers, and heterogeneity characterizing this relationship.

The Grey Zone of Stakeholder Engagement: Misalignment as a Manifestation of Greyness in Stakeholder Collaboration

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study identifies and conceptualises the grey zone of stakeholder engagement and explores how it manifests in a collaborative context related to the promotion of a circular economy. While prior research on stakeholder engagement has highlighted the positive, value‐creating bright side or the harmful dark side of stakeholder engagement, we ...

Fueling Tomorrow: Scenario Planning for the Future of Gas Stations

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transport electrification is reshaping the service infrastructures that mediate everyday mobility, yet most electrification scenario studies remain macrolevel and offer limited insight into how incumbent forecourt (gas‐station) networks can adapt under deep uncertainty.

Decarbonization in Financial Turbulent Times: Global Value Chains and Regulatory Framework

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how participation in global value chains (GVCs) influences carbon emissions amid financial turbulence, with attention to cross‐country heterogeneity and distributional dynamics. Although existing research has explored trade–environment linkages, limited attention has been given to how GVC integration interacts with ...

Circling the Archetype: Tensions Limiting the Transformation to a Circular Economy

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research examines key tensions and the archetypal paradox that prevent the transformation to a circular economy (CE) across individual, organizational, and systems levels, problematizing CE assumptions. Tension manifestations are analyzed using a qualitative case study across eight diverse industries and geographies.

Co‐Creating Circular Pathways in the Fashion Industry: A Participatory System Dynamics Perspective

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular economy transitions in the fashion industry are frequently constrained not by a lack of reinforcing drivers but by endogenous feedback structures that limit growth as systems expand. Focusing on the Brazil context, this study identifies the dominant feedback archetypes governing circular transitions across four distinct socio ...
