A Business Framework for Product Take‐Back—A Structured Multiple‐Case Analysis
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The potential of take‐back systems remains largely unrealized as initiatives have proven difficult to implement in practice. The question is why we do not see more take‐back systems given the substantial environmental benefits. We try to understand the challenges and stumbling blocks in setting up take‐back from a business perspective.

Extension of Optimal Locally Repairable codes
CoRRRecent studies have delved into the construction of locally repairable codes (LRCs) with optimal minimum distance from function fields. In this paper, we present several novel constructions by extending the findings of optimally designed locally repairable codes documented in the literature.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Amid increasing environmental and economic pressures, Africa's transition to a circular economy (CE) presents a vital pathway to inclusive, low‐carbon development. Yet, how digital transformation, informal innovation, and science, technology, and innovation (STI) policy readiness shape CE outcomes remains underexplored.

Private information retrieval from locally repairable databases with colluding servers [PDF]
Producción CientíficaWe consider information-theoretical private information retrieval (PIR) from a coded database with colluding servers. We target, for the first time, locally repairable storage codes (LRCs). We consider any number of local groups g,

Bounds and Constructions of Singleton-Optimal Locally Repairable Codes with Small Localities
, 2022 Constructions of optimal locally repairable codes (LRCs) achieving Singleton-type bound have been exhaustively investigated in recent years. In this paper, we consider new bounds and constructions of Singleton-optimal LRCs with minmum distance $d=6 ...

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

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study demonstrates how a profitable, lean, and environmentally responsible e‐waste reverse logistics system can be designed using integrated Operations Research (OR) techniques. Addressing the growing urgency of responsible consumption (UN SDG 12) and the projected rise of the e‐waste sector to USD 137.60 billion by 2029, the research ...

The Fast, the Steady and the Tenacious: Funding Pathways for Circular Start‐Ups
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Circular start‐ups (CSUs) are critical for unlocking the circular economy, yet they face persistent barriers in accessing finance. Despite growing interest from policymakers and financing institutions, little empirical evidence explains how these ventures pursue and secure funding.
