Suzanne Smit: The Circular Economy, Gebunden

Klappentext

Why is a circular economy important for business students to know? What can businesses do to become more circular? How can businesses manage circular transitions and integrate better and sustainable practices into their processes?

The Circular Economy is the textbook postgraduate and final-year undergraduate students need to address these questions while studying on Circular Economy and Sustainable Business courses. This textbook looks at integrating circular economy principles and metrics within key aspects of business including: storytelling, financial planning and reporting, operations and supply chain management all within four parts:

• Part 1 - Planning: A Strategic Approach to Circular Economy
• Part 2 - Organising: Mobilising resources and Coordinating Core Activities
• Part 3 - Leading: Creating Enablers and Favourable System Conditions
  >As more companies work to become more sustainable, specific planning, measuring and strategies will need to be embedded to ensure a smooth transition. Students studying circular economy will need to know the theories, and will also need to know how to apply theory into practice within the workplace.

With this textbook, understand the key theories, strategies and applications of circular economy and how to manage circular transitions within an organization's core functions, through various real-world examples from Ikea, Ellen MacArthur Foundation, The Guararapes Group and Flying Tiger.
