Study on the circular economy with exceptional "social impact

The Financial Times ranks a paper by a Kassel business economist in its list of the Top 100 Business School Research with Social Impact. Dr. Stefan Gold, professor of sustainable business management at the University of Kassel, had the study, "A Review and Typology of Circular Economy Business Model Patterns," published in the Journal for Industrial Ecology in April 2018.

The study contains an analysis of 26 current models of circular economy. On this basis, the authors identify options for the design of business models and propose six approaches to support the sustainability of resource flows.

The Financial Times based its ranking on media response and dissemination via relevant social media accounts, among other factors.

In addition to Gold, Prof. Florian Lüdeke-Freund (Berlin) and Prof. Nancy Bocken (Lund, Sweden) were involved in the study.
