    The Role of Consumers in Business Model Innovations for a Sustainable Circular Bioeconomy
    (Mdpi, 2023) Lang, Stephanie; Minnucci, Giulia; Mueller, Matthias; Schlaile, Michael P.
    Over the last decade, various governments and supranational bodies have promoted the development of a circular bioeconomy (CBE) as a response to sustainability challenges. The transition towards a CBE requires the collaboration of different actors in the innovation (eco)system. With this conceptual paper, we apply a circular business model lens to address the research question: What are the archetypical roles of consumers in business model innovations for a sustainable CBE? We use a combination of complementary theories from the circular economy and bioeconomy literature, evolutionary innovation economics, sustainability transitions research, the business model literature, and the work on active consumers. Considering consumers' agency as a continuum between the manufacturer-active paradigm and the consumer-active paradigm, we propose: (i) consumers in the manufacturer-active paradigm can actively influence circular business models with their purchase decision; (ii) consumers can act as lobbyists and influencers for circular business model innovation; (iii) in their different roles as customer, user, repairer, and reseller, consumers can incentivize organizations to adapt their business models to their needs; (iv) consumers can become key partners in the process of defining the normative orientation of the innovation paradigm for a CBE; (v) consumers can actively co-create value by means of co-ownership (e.g., through platform cooperatives).

    Twin Transition - Hidden Links between the Green and Digital Transition
    (De Boeck Univ, 2024) Mueller, Matthias; Lang, Stephanie; Stoeber, Lea F.
    In this article, we analyze the literature on the simultaneous green (or sustainable) and digital transition, or simply the twin transition. We conduct a bibliometric analysis based on a citation network of scientific articles on digitalization and sustainability. Our results show that both research strands have well-established but largely separate research traditions. Only recently, there has been a growing interest in studying them together. An in-depth analysis of the community structure of the citation network reveals that the literature is highly fragmented, with a significant number of hidden links between the two research strands, connecting seemingly unrelated thematic clusters.
