Platform Thinking as a Catalyst for Circular Innovation in Low‐ and Medium‐Tech Industries

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Growing pressures to replace linear with circular models challenge organisations to innovate continuously and to absorb new knowledge. While platform thinking has been examined as an enabler of innovation in high‐tech industries, its relevance in low‐ and medium‐tech industries, like construction, remains underexplored.

Modularità e prefabbricazione in Italia nel Secondo Novecento. Sfide per la conservazione /

Restauro Archeologico
In post-war Italy the research about prefabrication largely went beyond the functional use of the elements. The theme of modularity, seriality and prefabrication was explored with many nuances: from the desire to combine the theme of prefabrication with

Business and Governance Strategies for Circular Economy Valorization of Construction Timber: A Systematic Review

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The valorization of construction and demolition timber is essential to advancing circular economy objectives but remains constrained by fragmented organizational, network, and institutional practices. For firms in the construction sector, this represents a critical strategic adaptation challenge.

Circular Innovations in Complex Systems: A Blueprint of Four Design Archetypes

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular innovations (CI), defined as the redesign of products, services or practices to minimise waste, reduce resource use and regenerate natural systems, are essential for advancing the circular economy. Despite growing recognition, their deployment in systems of linked parts with unpredictable interactions (complex systems) remains limited
