Managing Collaboration in Circular Supply Chains

Sudusinghe, Jayani Ishara

The dissertation focuses on understanding the application of the circular economy (CE) concept to the supply chain management (SCM) domain as ‘circular supply chains’ (CSCs) and the role of collaboration in this application. While CE is an emerging approach for sustainable production and consumption, its application in the SCM domain as CSCs could assist in improving the overall sustainable performance. Collaboration with internal and external partners is crucial to achieve this improvement. Hence, with the aim to capture the amalgamation of CE, SCM and collaboration, this dissertation answers the following overarching research questions (ORQs). ORQ (1): How can CE implementation strategies be integrated into operations and SCs? ORQ (2): How does supply chain collaboration contribute to CE implementation in supply chains?
