4th International conference
What can management sciences really say about the circular economy?
The conference explores the transformative role of circular economy principles in business strategy, organizational behavior, and territorial ecosystems. It addresses how firms and public actors redefine value, performance, and collaboration in response to ecological and societal challenges. Contributions may examine managerial logics, innovation patterns, governance models, or spatial dynamics. The aim is to advance a management research agenda that fully engages with the complexity of circular transitions.
