Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many firms set ambitious sustainability goals but these are frequently “displaced” by proxy goals that are easier to track and measure. However, the specific types of goal conflicts that follow from this displacement are poorly understood. We conducted a case study of circular innovation initiatives at a global MedTech company and identified ...

Influence of the continuously increasing normal stress to the failure in case of shearing test

, 2002
In a conventional shearing test the normal force or the normal stiffness is kept constant during the experiment. Sliding under constant normal load occurs in slopes if the environment is not changing during the process. The goal of this paper is to
