We would like to draw your attention to the 8th Responsible Management Education Research Conference on Poverty and Prosperity: Implications for Advancing the SDGs, 2030 Agenda and Responsible Management Education in a Post-Pandemic World to be held on 19-22 October 2021 in Suzhou, China. The conference will take place in a hybrid format so everybody can take part either on site or online.
This is a call to contribute to Track 3: Circular Business Models as Enabler for Prosperity. Please find a short description below:
Especially in the current time of the pandemic, a more sustainable economic approach is indispensable. However, the change towards prosperity requires circular economy business models with new value creation structures. To develop those adapted business models for circular economies, it is necessary to adjust existing approaches, since the stakeholders involved along the value chain take on different roles.
The consequences of the current pandemic, accelerating global warming, resource scarcity and the increasing destruction of entire ecosystems are increasingly becoming the focus of the top management of many companies. For a long time, the disciplines of business administration and management practice neglected the negative effects of corporate actions on the environment. The responsibility for solving the resulting problems is transferred to political or social actors. However, growing consumer awareness of the problems just outlined is putting growing pressure on companies and their value chains. In this context, corporate sustainability offers a strategic competitive advantage and enormous development potential. Nature-friendly economic approaches, such as the circular economy, combine ecological and economic potential benefits.
