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

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global climate change has elevated the strategic importance of corporate climate risk disclosure, yet the role of industry peer effects in shaping such disclosure remains underexplored. Grounded in social learning theory, this study proposes an “observation–imitation–reinforcement” framework and empirically tests it using panel data on Chinese
