摘要
当前的线性经济已导致环境污染和资源枯竭。为了解决这些问题,出现了一种新的经济模式,即循环经济。作为一种新的经济模式,向循环经济的过渡对于那些以线性方式设计商业模式和合作的现有企业来说尤其具有挑战性。这一点在以价值链长为特点的资源密集型产业中尤为明显。在这些行业中,以资源消耗量大、价值链复杂为特点的建筑业尤为突出。我们认为,在这样的行业中,向循环经济转型需要在不同的参与者之间建立合作关系,以获取外部能力,并以新的方式参与整个价值链。开放式创新能够获取这些外部能力,并促进整个价值链的合作。以建筑物外墙为分析单位,我们旨在研究企业如何利用开放式创新来实施循环经济计划。为了解决这个问题,我们利用了 West & Bogers(2014 年)开发的原始开放式创新框架,使其适应循环经济转型的特殊性。通过运用行动研究方法来分析建筑幕墙行业中循环经济与开放式创新之间的相互作用,我们得到的证据表明,在幕墙即服务模式中,开放式创新在实现循环经济转型方面发挥着关键作用。报告指出,在循环产品设计中需要外部知识来源,以避免产品在整个使用寿命期间出现不匹配。此外,我们还指出了在循环经济转型过程中开展合作,根据循环经济原则共同设计产品和商业模式的重要性。
Fostering the transition towards circular economy through collaborations: An open innovation perspective in the building industry
The current linear economy has led to environmental pollution and resource depletion. To tackle these issues, a new economy model has emerged, namely the circular economy. Being a new economic model, the transition to a circular economy is particularly challenging for existing companies that have designed their business models and collaborations in a linear fashion. This aspect holds particularly true in resource‐intensive industries characterized by long value chains. Among these industries, the building one stands out as characterized by high resource consumption and complex value chains. We argue that in such an industry, the transition to circular economy calls for establishing collaborations between the different players involved to access external competences and engage in a new way the whole value chain. Open innovation enables to access these external competences and fosters collaboration throughout the whole value chain. Taking the façade of a building as a unit of analysis, we aimed at investigating how companies exploit open innovation to implement circular economy initiatives. To address this issue, we leverage the original open innovation framework developed by West & Bogers (2014) adapting it to the peculiarities of the circular economy transition. By applying the action research methodology to analyse the interplay between circular economy and open innovation in the building façade industry, we get evidence that open innovation plays a key role in enabling the transition towards circular economy in a façade‐as‐a‐service model. The need for external knowledge sources in circular product design is reported in order not to have mismatches throughout the product useful life. Besides, we point out the relevance of collaborations in circular economy transition to jointly design products and business models according to the circular economy principles.
期刊介绍:
Creativity and Innovation Management bridges the gap between the theory and practice of organizing imagination and innovation. The journal''s central consideration is how to challenge and facilitate creative potential, and how then to embed this into results-oriented innovative business development. The creativity of individuals, coupled with structured and well-managed innovation projects, creates a sound base from which organizations may operate effectively within their inter-organizational and societal environment. Today, successful operations must go hand in hand with the ability to anticipate future opportunities. Therefore, a cultural focus and inspiring leadership are as crucial to an organization''s success as efficient structural arrangements and support facilities. This is reflected in the journal''s contents: -Leadership for creativity and innovation; the behavioural side of innovation management. -Organizational structures and processes to support creativity and innovation; interconnecting creative and innovative processes. -Creativity, motivation, work environment/creative climate and organizational behaviour, creative and innovative entrepreneurship. -Deliberate development of creative and innovative skills including the use of a variety of tools such as TRIZ or CPS. -Creative professions and personalities; creative products; the relationship between creativity and humour; arts and amp; humanities side of creativity.
