Impact Measuring in Sustainable Ventures: A Process Perspective
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Impact measurement is crucial for sustainable ventures to quantify their contribution to sustainable development. Although research has highly focused on impact measurement as a static activity, we conduct a qualitative study to explore how impact measuring as a process unfolds over time.

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The transition to a circular economy (CE) remains hindered by the lack of practical strategies that simultaneously secure competitiveness and deliver sustainability outcomes for manufacturing organisations. While circular design is often cited as a cornerstone of CE, its concrete role in driving competitive advantage and organisational ...

Beyond Markov Chains, Towards Adaptive Memristor Network-based Music Generation
, 2013 We undertook a study of the use of a memristor network for music generation, making use of the memristor's memory to go beyond the Markov hypothesis. Seed transition matrices are created and populated using memristor equations, and which are shown to ...

Empowering Circular Startups: Unveiling the Blueprint for Circular Business Models
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Circular startups are increasingly recognized as key drivers in the transition toward a circular economy. Yet the business models (BMs) through which these startups operationalize circularity remain poorly understood, limiting the ability of entrepreneurial ecosystem actors to offer effective support.

Origin of yield stress and mechanical plasticity in model biological tissues
Nature CommunicationsDuring development and under normal physiological conditions, biological tissues are continuously subjected to substantial mechanical stresses. In response to large deformations, cells in a tissue must undergo multicellular rearrangements to maintain ...

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 ...
