“…Social business models, also called social enterprises, focus on achieving social goals by fostering relationships and mutual interactions between market participants. Thus, these models prioritize creating both tangible and intangible social value over economic value [72]. Trust is a fundamental aspect of these business models.…”

Organizations increasingly build on business model innovation (BMI) to reinvent their business models in sustainable and circular ways. This is reflected by a surge in academic research and business practice on sustainable and circular business model innovation. In this article, we take stock of the current literature to clarify which types of innovations contribute to the transformation to sustainable and circular business models. Building on a systematic literature review on sustainable and circular business model innovation using Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA), our primary contributions include (1) the identification, categorization, and discussion of various innovation types that lead to sustainable and circular business model innovation, (2) the identification of a research gap, and (3) avenues for future research.

“…Sustainable business models emerge as a tool for integrating the three pillars of sustainability, where the organisation's activities are planned and structured with the objective of achieving financial results and meeting social and environmental needs (Nosratabadi et al, 2019; Oftedal et al, 2021). Therefore, we addressed sustainable issues (Lozano et al, 2021).…”

Disruptive innovation and circularity in start‐ups: A path to sustainable development

et al. 2021

Start-ups are an increasingly important phenomenon in the Brazilian business ecosystem. Many such companies have been created over the past few years, illustrating the interest in and growth of such entrepreneurship. Emerging companies are more likely to be founded on sustainable business models. In many cases, such models incorporate the principles of the circular economy. Thus, this study reviewed the use of disruptive innovation and the circularity of resources in the business models of start-ups. The study consisted of 50 semistructured interviews with start-up owners and managers. We accessed the database of the Brazilian Start-ups Association to map the organisations to be surveyed. Our results show that start-ups are innovating in terms of the circularity of resources through a range of partially implemented initiatives. These initiatives allow start-ups to manage their data and microdata, create artefact integration systems, generate connectivity, accelerate digitisation, stimulate partnerships and cooperation between parties in the supply chain, generate new market opportunities and develop efficient transition systems for the circularity of resources. Thus, there is ample evidence that disruptive innovation supports the circular economy in Brazilian start-ups. This study makes two main contributions to the literature. First, it strengthens the existing understanding of the use of the circular economy in start-ups, supported by disruptive innovation. Second, it identifies the levels of adoption of the circular economy in different market segments. Based on these findings, it identifies several opportunities to encourage further advances in this area.

“…Os novos padrões de consumo e produção intensificados pela economia moderna trouxeram para a agenda discussões sobre questões ambientais e, como consequência, modelos de negócios sustentáveis e os desafios da sustentabilidade (Oftedal et al, 2021). A aplicação do Triple Bottom Line, ou Tripé da Sustentabilidade, é um conceito apresentado por Elkington no final da década de 1990, e surge como uma proposta responsável e consciente para empresas que buscam manter-se competitivas global e economicamente em um cenário onde as pressões sociais e ambientais exigem cada vez mais um perfil sustentável.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze how the adoption of green innovation practices by companies can affect the economic (Gross Domestic Product - GDP), social (Human Development Index - HDI) and competitiveness (Global Competitiveness Index - GCI) Development of Developed Countries (DC) and Emerging Countries (EC). Method: For the analysis, a three-level hierarchical regression model was used with repeated measures and estimated by Maximum Likelihood from a sample of 4061 publicly traded companies, 80% of which from the G7 countries and 20% from the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). Results: The results showed that in relation to GDP, all green innovation indicators negatively influenced economic development in both DC and EC. With regard to the HDI, green innovation practices such as environmental management and environmental investments positively influence social development in DCs and ECs, respectively. As for competitiveness, the results revealed that only green innovation practices related to environmental policies showed statistically significant results demonstrating a negative relationship with the GCI both in the DC and in the EC. Contributions: The study contributes with possible ways for companies and governments to set goals to achieve Sustainable Development Goals, SDG-8 to promote sustainable and inclusive economic growth, SDG-9 to promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation, and SDG-10 to strengthen and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
