Abstract

Companies incorporating industrial symbiosis in their business models (ISBMs) play important roles in the realization of IS solutions. This paper explores how this group can also influence contextual conditions for the wider adoption of these solutions, thus contributing to their mainstreaming. Through a multiple case study of development processes connected to a diverse set of ISBM companies, three types of mechanisms were abductively synthesized: business model innovation, contribution to emergent societal change, and institutional entrepreneuring. These suggest that ISBM companies as a group, under the right conditions, play an important role in mainstreaming IS within companies, across industrial systems, and at the societal level. Our study found evidence of early steps in these directions. The paper contributes to the limited empirical foundation on companies with an ISBM and proposes new mainstreaming mechanisms for IS linked to the emergence of actors with IS as a core concern rather than a side activity.

拥有产业共生商业模式的公司如何为产业共生的主流化做出贡献

将产业共生纳入其商业模式（isbm）的公司在实现IS解决方案中发挥着重要作用。本文探讨了这个群体如何影响更广泛地采用这些解决方案的环境条件，从而促进其主流化。通过对与一组不同的ISBM公司相关联的开发过程的多个案例研究，可以归纳出三种类型的机制：商业模式创新、对紧急社会变化的贡献以及机构企业家精神。这表明，在适当的条件下，ISBM公司作为一个整体，在公司内部、跨工业系统和社会层面将IS主流化方面发挥着重要作用。我们的研究发现了这些方向的早期步骤的证据。本文对具有ISBM的公司的有限经验基础做出了贡献，并提出了与将IS作为核心关注点而不是副业的行动者的出现相关联的新的IS主流化机制。

期刊介绍： Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
