“…However, in the BP, most of the studies in the private sector contemplated a PES with indicators that excel in meeting the organisation's management and with measures focused on internal activities/means. This diagnosis can be verified in the studies by Micheli et al (2011), Rebelato et al (2017), Duman et al (2018) and Shahbazi et al (2018). The capacity for change was, in general, flexible, as expected.…”

“…In the private sector, insufficient or inadequate metrics/indicators have been shown to be a failure factor in the PES (Micheli et al , 2011; Morioka and Carvalho, 2017) just as in the PS, as well as issues related to the negligence of those involved (Akhtar, 2018) for disregarding long-term goals (Bhagwat and Sharma, 2007); maintenance cost (Bose and Thomas, 2007); unethical behaviour and inadequate data management (Papakiriakopoulos and Pramatari, 2010) and PES insufficient scope (Micheli et al , 2011). On the other hand, more recurrent success factors were continuous monitoring (Potdar and Routroy, 2017); knowledge of management techniques (Tuomela, 2005) and appropriate indicators (Rebelato et al , 2017). Less frequently seen success factors in the private sector were as follows: strategic alignment (Papakiriakopoulos and Pramatari, 2010); the commitment of top management (Schneier et al , 1991); training and innovation (Phillips and Louvieris, 2005; Waheed et al , 2019); clear stakeholder participation (Pedroso et al , 2018); interactive use (Tuomela, 2005) and collaboration (Phillips and Louvieris, 2005).…”

PurposeThis study analysed international publications related to the performance evaluation (PE) theme to compare the public and private sectors with a focus on the metrics and a reflection on the consideration of each sector's characteristics.Design/methodology/approachIn total, two bibliographic portfolios (BPs) were selected with the aid of the Knowledge Development Process-Constructivist (ProKnow-C) instrument, and the literature was systematically and critically reviewed to construct a theme literature map; the metrics analysed the performance evaluation systems (PESs) used in the studies and identified each sector's characteristics and PES behaviour based on these characteristics.FindingsThe two sectors stand out because of the low incidence of articles with cardinal scales, which enable the measurement and identification of the consequences of performance that are below or above the target. The behaviour of the sector characteristics was unusual, especially regarding the user and the organisational structure; it was found that the presence or absence of critical factors, such as communication, may prove to be a differential of success or failure. An absence of the organisation's particularities when designing and using a PES was noted.Originality/valueThe contributions relate to (1) identification of the public and private sector characteristics based on the selected literature, which helps in understanding the critical success and failure factors of an organisation's PES, especially with regard to metrics adequacy for each context; and (2) verification of the paths taken by the literature in both sectors.

“…Our survey revealed that this kind of ecological differentiation helps hospitals and other healthcare facilities cultivate a definite positioning in the market, which in turn results in attracting and retaining clients, in addition achieving greater profits. This really is congruent with findings of prior research (Gabler et al, 2015;Leonidou, Leonidou, Fotiadis, and Aykol, 2015;Leonidou, Fotiadis, Christodoulides, Spyropoulou, and Katsikeas, 2015;López-Gamero et al, 2011;Ahmadi and Bouri, 2017;Rebelato et al, 2017) that indicate that a service differentiation advantage can improve performance levels, especially when the firm's environmental efforts are proactive, market driven, and target specific environmentally sensitive clients (Miles and Covin, 2000).…”

Purpose With the exponential growth of problems linked to the natural environment, healthcare facilities are increasingly faced with ecological challenges in their operations. In this regard, they progressively need to improve their environmental performance like other industries in recent years. Applying the natural-resource-based view (NRBV) and dynamic capabilities literature, the purpose of this paper is to investigate this eco-capability which fully leverages human, relationship, and technology resources. Design/methodology/approach Applying the NRBV and dynamic capabilities literature, this paper investigates this eco-capability which fully leverages human, relationship, and technology resources. Using survey data from staffs across 15 hospitals in north of Iran, researchers estimated a latent moderated structural model that provides support for these three resource components. Findings Results obtained from structural equation analysis revealed that human, technology, and relationship resources have positive impact on eco-capability. Also eco-capability has positive impact on market and financial performance and the perceived quality of the hospital’s offering. Research limitations/implications As the model consist just of three kinds of resources, future studies could include examining the effect of additional resources and other internal and external factors on eco-capability. Practical implications This paper includes suggestions for facility’s managers to develop environmental strategy in three areas: human, technology, and relationship resources. Originality/value The role of eco-resources has been used only rarely to investigate organization capability and performance. This paper includes suggestions for facility’s managers to develop environmental strategy in three areas: human, technology, and relationship resources.

“…CE contains a wide range of subjects such as reverse supply chain (Larsen et al , 2018), industrial symbiosis (Mortensen and Kornov, 2019), sharing economy (Merli et al , 2018), industrial ecology (Petit Boix and Leipold, 2018), design for circularity (Türkeli et al , 2018), Industry 4.0-enabled circular supply chain network (Bag and Pretorius, 2020), green innovation (García-Quevedo et al , 2020), performance economy (Merli et al , 2018), product service system (Schallehn et al , 2019), industrial ecosystem (Bressanelli et al , 2020), process integration (Bocken et al , 2016), eco-innovation (Sassanelli et al , 2019), life cycle assessment (de la Caba et al , 2019), eco-industrial parks (Saavedra et al , 2018), end-of-life management (Salim et al , 2018), green supply chain management (Panigrahi et al , 2019), etc. The CE principle promotes the economic growth of manufacturing industries and societies and enhances the social and environmental performance of the industry in an optimal manner (Rebelato et al , 2017). Changing regulatory, socioeconomic and ecological landscape forces organizations to shift from the existing traditional production model to a circular production model.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the current status and trends in circular economy (CE) research. The state of CE research is assessed by critically examining the field by considering diverse dimensions.Design/methodology/approachThe systematic literature review (SLR) of CE research articles is analyzed using the content analysis methodology. The articles are selected from the Scopus database containing the keyword “Circular economy” in its title, abstract and keywords. In total, 587 research articles published on CE in various reputed peer-reviewed journals over 15 years (2005–2020) are selected for review.FindingsThe research in the domain of CE is in the beginning phase. It has numerous quantitative modeling opportunities, value creation and propositions aspects and application in real-life case problems. One of the significant findings is that the CE research field is more inclined toward the implication of the empirical qualitative research. The identified research gaps and future opportunities could provide further direction to broaden CE research.Research limitations/implicationsThe review focuses on publications published in peer-reviewed journals in the English language only. It restricts the recognition of relevant articles published in conference proceedings and languages other than English.Originality/valueThis research study will provide a deeper understanding of CE research's existing status and highlights the research trends, gap and its applicability in real-life case problems and setting up future research directions in the CE field.
