“…More recently, Kalish et al (2018) 2017), we posit that there are several differences between the concept of sustainability and that of circular economy. Among those discussed by the authors, there are two differences worth to be mentioned for their fit with our research goal.…”

In the last years, circular economy has represented one of the most-debated topics in management research. Although the understanding of this industrial paradigm has significantly improved over the last decade, a number of important research questions still remain unanswered. Among them, the design process of business model through which established firms evolve from being linear to circular deserves further investigation. Existing research still falls short to investigate how companies design the dimensions of value creation, value transfer, and value capture of their business models to launch circular products into the market. By leveraging a multiple case study analysis of four companies in the paper and beverage industries that have launched six circular products, the paper examines the process that these companies have followed to face the transition toward a circular business model. The paper contributes to the research field in the intersection between new product development and circular business models, by showing that the process toward a circular business model occurs along three major phases, that is, idea generation, product development, and commercialization. In each phase, companies implement peculiar managerial practices for launching circular products into the market, which typically address all the dimensions of the business model and follows a recurrent path over time.

“…It is also claimed that the most important reasons companies apply sustainability into their NPD projects include gaining competitive advantage and market differentiation. This is while only a low percentage of companies give credit to rules and regulations [86]. This author recommends some practical suggestions to companies and identifies six different tools to integrate sustainability into NPD projects including NPD checklists, LCA tools, material screening tools, the Eco‐design Strategy Wheel and Supplier scorecards [86].…”

“…They particularly study the barriers to the "diffusion and efficient implementation of the DfE approach among industries", where DfE stands for Design for Environment, and provide some recommendations to overcome these barriers. Kalish et al (2018) conduct a study that provides "some insight into how companies are moving forward, suggesting practices, tools, and processes that can facilitate the inclusion of sustainability in product development". In their article, they mention several conditions that are required for a successful implementation of sustainability in product development.…”

Manufacturing companies are urged to take responsibility for their impacts on the environment and on society, to contribute to a more sustainable development. The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has therefore gained a lot of interest in the last decades. The Product Development Process (PDP) is a key activity in the operationalization of CSR in a company. However, little is known about the capabilities needed for companies to integrate and manage their CSR issues in their PDP. Therefore, this article aims at contributing to (1) identifying the capabilities to integrate and manage the CSR issues during the PDP, and (2) providing a maturity model to assess the level of capabilities for the integration of the CSR issues in the PDP. Insofar as CSR aims at contributing to sustainable development, the existing literature on capabilities for integrating sustainability in the PDP has been studied and taken as a basis to identify the capabilities for integrating and managing CSR in the PDP. A maturity model has then been built based on these capabilities. This contribution lays the foundation for a methodology to support companies in the improvement of their maturity level in terms of CSR-PDP interaction.
