PurposeThe circular economy (CE) represents an industry-wide transition from linear to circular processes. There has been a proliferation of literature on CE in the last decade. However, the existing studies on the adaption of CE in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are scarce. This study aims to develop a research agenda and the way forward for future researchers focusing on the adoption of CE.Design/methodology/approachThis article analyses the CE concepts through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Coding and content analysis are performed to generate emergent themes with the help of “Atlas.ti” software.FindingsThe authors uncovered the contemporary significance of adopting CE and the state-of-the-art literature on CE. The study's findings fall into four broad themes: Technical know-how, resource and process optimization, reverse practices and technology and innovation. Ten thought-provoking questions were identified in the four themes that researchers can explore further in embracing CE to achieve sustainability in SMEs.Practical implicationsThe study has highlighted the importance of CE adoption and CE's benefits to stakeholders across all three dimensions, i.e. social, economic and ecological. Practitioners can use the agenda in four themes to strengthen the practitioners' existing practices in SMEs to promote CE.Originality/valueThe study's uniqueness is the supply of current knowledge from diverse literature and practical consequences for SMEs. This study opens new lines of inquiry to adopt CE in SMEs, streamlining the existing literature into four themes to focus future research.

Smart manufacturing is pivotal in the context of Industry 4.0, as it integrates advanced technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and automation to streamline production processes and improve product quality, paving the way for a competitive industrial landscape. Machines have become network-based through the IoT, where integrated and collaborated manufacturing system responds in real time to meet demand fluctuations for personalized customization. Within the network-based manufacturing system (NBMS), mobile industrial robots (MiRs) are vital in increasing operational efficiency, adaptability, and productivity. However, with the advent of IoT-enabled manufacturing systems, security has become a serious challenge because of the communication of various devices acting as mobile nodes. This paper proposes the framework for a newly personalized customization factory, considering all the advanced technologies and tools used throughout the production process. To encounter the security concern, an IoT-enabled NBMS is selected as the system model to tackle a black hole attack (BHA) using the NTRUEncrypt cryptography and the ad hoc on-demand distance-vector (AODV) routing protocol. NTRUEncrypt performs encryption and decryption while sending and receiving messages. The proposed technique is simulated by network simulator NS-2.35, and its performance is evaluated for different network environments, such as a healthy network, a malicious network, and an NTRUEncrypt-secured network based on different evaluation metrics, including throughput, goodput, end-to-end delay, and packet delivery ratio. The results show that the proposed scheme performs safely in the presence of a malicious node. The implications of this study are beneficial for manufacturing industries looking to embrace IoT-enabled subtractive and additive manufacturing facilitated by mobile industrial robots. Implementation of the proposed scheme ensures operational efficiency, enables personalized customization, and protects confidential data and communication in the manufacturing ecosystem.

“…With the adoption of the Industry 4.0 concept, the effect of digitalization has been seen in many applications, such as smart factories [1,2], lean manufacturing [3,4], airport systems [5], and flexible production systems [6]. Review sources such as Fuartes et al [7], Baran and Korkusuz Polat [8], and Contini and Peruzzini [9] can be consulted for more detailed information on Industry 4.0. In the face of the evolving world market, the desires and needs of human beings also change.…”

One main point distinguishing Marketing 4.0 from other marketing approaches is the “customer”. Marketing 4.0 focuses on “act” and “advocacy” within the 5A (aware, appeal, ask, act, and advocate) customer path. In Marketing 4.0, advocacy is as important as the purchase of customers. In order to have good competitive power in the digital world, and to follow and guide their digital customers, brands need to determine their marketing strategies by considering the 5A customer path, in which there may be touchpoints where brands can intervene. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant decrease in the incomes of consumers due to the closure of businesses and/or personnel dismissals. With this decrease in income, consumer purchasing habits have changed. For this reason, many companies have started studies to explore how to increase customer loyalty. This study aimed to understand how the marketing process and brand loyalty of a company operating in the cleaning products category were affected before and during the pandemic and to identify weak touchpoints in the customer path by developing a 5A customer path model based on fuzzy logic. The study also aimed to monitor customer purchasing and brand advocacy rates during the pandemic and detect the problematic touchpoints on the 5A customer path. The main contribution of this study to practitioners and brand strategy managers is that it brings a different dimension to the field of Marketing 4.0 applications with a fuzzy logic approach. In this study, a rule-based fuzzy logic application was used for the first time to identify the deficiencies in the 5A customer path. With the fuzzy logic approach, an artificial intelligence technology, failure points on the 5A customer path can be known in advance, and brand managers will be able to determine appropriate strategies to increase the advocacy of their brands and take precautions where necessary. Brand managers can periodically collect customer data and use fuzzy logic to identify and eliminate 5A customer path disruptions.
