The circular bioeconomy (CBE) is increasingly presented as a promising way to advance corporate environmental sustainability by combining the use of renewable, bio‐based resources with circular economy principles of resource efficiency and lifecycle management. However, despite growing interest in the CBE, limited attention has been paid to the tensions that emerge in its implementation across the value cycle. This gap matters, as the transition to the CBE requires substantial technological, organizational, regulatory, and market changes that create competing yet interdependent demands for firms and other stakeholders. Drawing on paradox theory as a detective theoretical lens, this study systematically reviews 58 articles to identify and map the tensions characterizing the CBE. In doing so, we distinguish between trade‐offs and paradoxes, examine where these tensions are located, and assess how they concentrate across the CBE value cycle. Our findings indicate that tensions arise unevenly—with the highest concentration occurring during the procurement and processing of raw materials—and that issues related to resource availability, technological development, supply chain adaptation, and regulatory uncertainty are particularly significant. By providing a systemic account of tensions within the CBE, this study extends research on sustainability transitions and offers a foundation for understanding the contradictory demands that firms must navigate as they pursue circular bio‐based strategies.

Circular business models (CBMs) have gained increasing scholarly attention as organisations seek to transition toward more sustainable and regenerative economic systems. Despite this growing body of research, the literature remains fragmented across disciplines and lacks an integrated understanding of the drivers, mechanisms, contextual conditions and outcomes associated with CBM implementation. To address this gap, this study conducts a systematic literature review of 477 peer‐reviewed articles published between 2017 and 2024 spanning business, management, environmental science and sustainability disciplines. Through an inductive synthesis of recurring patterns, four higher‐order dimensions were identified: antecedents, mediators, moderators and outcomes. These dimensions form the basis of the AMMO framework, a causal model that links organisational and ecosystem‐level drivers to sustainability outcomes through mediating mechanisms and moderating contextual conditions. By consolidating dispersed insights into a coherent explanatory model, this study advances CBM theorising, outlines a structured research agenda for future research and provides practical guidance for managers and policymakers seeking to identify key drivers, mechanisms and boundary conditions for circular transitions.

Research concerning the determinants of corporate climate disclosure has primarily focused on the board of directors, whereas evidence regarding the audit committee (AC), whose oversight directly influences the reporting process, remains limited and inconclusive. Drawing on agency and stakeholder theories, this study examines whether AC characteristics explain the extent of climate‐related disclosure. We hand‐code a 13‐item Climate Disclosure Index aligned with the Task Force on Climate‐related Financial Disclosures from the 2024 non‐financial reports of 211 Italian‐listed firms and estimate hierarchical regressions. AC gender diversity and meeting frequency are positively and significantly associated with disclosure extent, whereas AC size and independence are not; firms in environmentally sensitive industries (ESI) exhibit a greater disclosure extent than non‐ESI firms. Results hold across several robustness tests, including Tobit regression, regional controls, and entropy balancing. These findings provide implications for managers and policymakers, highlighting the need to promote AC activism and gender diversity as essential internal mechanisms to enhance corporate accountability in response to the climate crisis.

This study examines whether ESG‐oriented common institutional ownership reduces strategic dissimilarity among multinational rival firms. Prior research primarily examined common ownership in relation to competition, firm performance, ESG disclosure, and ESG ratings, with limited attention to its role in shaping strategic ESG convergence among commonly owned firms. Using a global sample of 7766 listed firms and 110,490 firm‐dyad‐year observations from 2010 to 2024, we employ a dynamic panel system GMM approach to investigate this relationship. The findings show that ESG‐oriented common institutional ownership significantly reduces ESG strategic dissimilarity, indicating that such ownership promotes convergence rather than differentiation in firms' ESG strategies. This convergence effect is stronger in industries with high ESG materiality, where ESG issues are more visible, financially relevant, and reputationally sensitive. Furthermore, additional analyses show that reputational risk avoidance and ESG disclosure coordination explain this convergence effect, while cross‐national distance shapes the effectiveness of ESG coordination across countries. This study contributes to common ownership, institutional investors, and ESG strategy research by showing that ESG‐oriented common institutional ownership serves as a portfolio‐level governance mechanism that promotes ESG coherence among multinational rivals.

Social media attacks by heads of government (HG) with concentrated discretionary authority over firm-relevant policy have become a political risk for firms. While the highly visible HG attacks are often detached from immediate, concrete policy processes and their specific potential consequences for firms remain largely unclear at the time of an attack, research indicates that they impact the share price of attacked firms negatively. Yet, to date, little is known about how firms can proactively address potential negative investor reactions associated with such attacks. In this paper, we draw on the political risk literature and behavioural perspectives on investor reactions to conceptualize HG attacks on social media as a novel form of political shock that creates heightened uncertainty about a firm’s prospects. We propose that corporate political activity (CPA) operates as a credible signal to investors about a targeted firm’s political resilience, which mitigates negative investor reactions to HG attacks on social media. Our quantitative analyses of firm-focused tweets by US President Donald Trump show support for our hypotheses. Our study advances the understanding of HG social media attacks as a distinct form of political risk that implies investor reactions despite the ambiguity about attacks’ consequences. Furthermore, it advances our understanding of how different forms of CPA can insure firms against negative investor reactions to such attacks, by theorizing how financial contributions to the HG’s party and lobbying function as a signal of a firm’s political resilience and capacity to absorb potential political consequences.

Drawing on visual complexity theory and the arousal properties of color, this paper challenges the prevailing assumption that only warm (longer wavelength) or highly saturated colors can induce arousal in consumers. Instead, we propose a novel pathway: multicolor logos with cool hues can elicit arousal through triggering curiosity. Across a total of eight experiments (seven preregistered with a total of 1,724 participants recruited), of which six experiments are reported in the main text, including a behavioral lab study employing biometric measures (eye tracking, galvanic skin response, pupil dilation), and three studies utilizing real product choices, we consistently find that multicolor cool logos are more arousing than single cool color designs. This heightened, curiosity-driven arousal subsequently impacts marketing outcomes, including willingness to pay and choice. These findings offer marketers alternative strategies for inducing arousal in brand communications and provide actionable guidelines for effectively designing logos.

Logistics performance is critical to economic competitiveness and resilient supply networks, particularly in emerging economies facing technological, infrastructural, workforce, environmental, and institutional constraints. However, limited attention has been given to how regulatory governance conditions the effects of these operational factors on logistics performance. This study examines the determinants of sustainable logistics performance in India's transportation sector, focusing on the moderating role of government policies and regulatory compliance. Drawing on Institutional Theory, the Technology Acceptance Model, and Innovation Diffusion Theory, an integrated framework links transportation infrastructure, technology adoption and automation, system integration, supply chain (SC) coordination, environmental factors, and driver shortage and turnover to logistics performance. The proposed relationships are examined using partial least squares structural equation modeling with moderation analysis. The findings indicate that transportation infrastructure, technology adoption and automation, system integration, SC coordination, and environmental factors are positively associated with logistics performance, whereas driver shortage and turnover are negatively associated. Government policies and regulatory compliance moderates two relationships: They mitigate the negative association between driver shortage and logistics performance but attenuate the positive association between SC coordination and performance. The findings highlight the need for regulatory frameworks that address workforce constraints without limiting coordination and operational flexibility. The study contributes to sustainable logistics research by demonstrating that regulatory governance can condition, rather than uniformly determine, the performance effects of operational capabilities.

This study examines how corporate sustainability disclosure evolves across a legitimacy‐threatening event by analysing the interaction between formal sustainability reporting and social media communication. Using a qualitative, longitudinal, event‐centred single‐case design, the study investigates a major Italian organic meat producer over the 2021–2024 period through formal sustainability reporting, Facebook content and stakeholder interactions, regulatory and contextual documents and selected economic indicators. Findings reveal a marked divergence across corporate‐controlled disclosure channels. Formal sustainability reporting remained active and progressively expanded, whereas sustainability‐related Facebook communication sharply contracted after the scandal despite continued overall platform activity. Stakeholder interactions shifted from predominantly routine and positive before the scandal to markedly critical during it, before progressively normalising in 2024. The study contributes to the literature by conceptualising strategic silence as topic‐specific avoidance within active communication, identifying multi‐channel communication fragmentation and showing how post‐scandal dynamics may involve delayed and selective acknowledgement alongside legitimacy stabilisation without comprehensive legitimacy repair.

Circular economy ( CE ) practices do not automatically result in sustainable supply chain performance (SSCP), indicating the need for a conceptual explanation of how capabilities support the translation of CE practices into SSCP. This study employed a Scopus‐based theory‐building systematic literature review followed by cross‐study conceptual synthesis. The synthesis identified three complementary capability configurations with different yet interrelated functions: Information‐Digital‐Adaptive and Relational‐Integration primarily serve enabling roles by supporting information processing, analytics, visibility, collaboration, and coordination, whereas Operational‐Adaptive serves a transmitting role by translating enabling resources and CE requirements into coordinated and adaptive supply chain responses. The effectiveness of these configurations is context‐dependent and may vary with industry dynamism, supply chain integration, technological readiness, institutional and stakeholder pressures, and firm and resource characteristics. The proposed framework extends Dynamic Capability Theory by shifting attention from individual capabilities toward capability complementarity, differentiated functional roles, and contextual cross‐capability mechanisms.
