“…Firm #1 has raised the idea of a circular economy district in collaboration with the factories that are in the same area. As previously documented, hybrid organizations benefit from collaborations with industrial and social partners to overcome specific resource constraints and access more structured business networks [80].

Relying on the hybrid organization literature and the circular economy literature, our study aims at theorizing how hybrid organizations adopt circular economy business models to contribute to sustainable development. Through six in-depth interviews with social entrepreneurs located in different regions of Italy and operating in different industries, we theorize that four aspects are unique to hybrid organizing that adopt a circular economy business model. We find that hybrid organizations foster sustainable development thanks to their ability to develop and maintain relationships with the surrounding organizational realities. Additionally, we find that hybrid organizations contribute to sustainable development thanks to their motivation to guard and watch over the natural environment and human beings. In addition, we find that hybrid organizations foster sustainability by educating, spreading knowledge, and ennobling the human spirit. We therefore present a conceptual model that shows how hybrid organizations that adopt circular economy models contribute to sustainable development. In sum, our findings expand on previous literature, add new knowledge, and integrate fields of research that usually develop in silos.

La colaboración organizacional es un aspecto clave de la prestación de servicios desde el tercer sector. En este artículo analizamos las relaciones entre 21 organizaciones del tercer sector en Andalucía. Mediante el análisis de redes sociales, evaluamos la centralidad y la cohesión, la influencia y la mediación en diferentes estructuras de relación entre estas organizaciones. Los resultados muestran la existencia de dos espacios de relación: la prestación de servicios a colectivos específicos y la inclusión y la participación social. Algunas entidades aglutinan gran parte de la actividad de relación en la red, mediando entre los usuarios, el tercer sector y la Administración pública. Estas entidades estructuran las relaciones en conglomerados con una elevada cohesión, que facilitan el control de los recursos y la convergencia de objetivos entre organizaciones del mismo ámbito.
