In line with the AOM 2024 theme, "Innovating for the Future," and the ONE Division's commitment to guiding organizations toward sustainability, this PDW tackles the pressing issue of aligning Circular Business Models (CBM) with Sustainable Development (SD). Tailored for scholars specializing in sustainable business practices, CBMs and sustainable entrepreneurship, our interactive PDW fosters an exchange among experts to discuss and develop novel sustainability-oriented research ideas. Going beyond theory, we want to explore the relationship between CBM and SD, guided by three key objectives:
(1) create scientific knowledge on CBM alignment with SD;
(2) derive practical pathways through methodological insights; and
(3) build an international community of CBM researchers to exchange knowledge, conduct joint research and support paper development.
The PDW unfolds in two phases:
- FIRST, a panel led by leading scholars in the fields and moderated by PhDs from about 10 different countries is taking place. Distinguished speakers discuss sustainable CBM solutions on inter- and intra-organizational levels, with a particular focus on real-world application. Themes include a conceptual discussion of the circular economy and SD, CBM sustainability strategies and innovation, circular supply chains, sustainable ecosystems, and suitable research frameworks.
- SECONDLY, in topic-specific roundtables hosted by the panelists, attendees can discuss in more depth their key interests, research and topics, exchange insights and empower each other.
Walk-ins are explicitly encouraged and welcomed! In the event of space constraints, preference will be given to registered participants. We aim to accommodate all attendees to the best of our ability while ensuring a conducive environment for meaningful engagement.
