Kapitelvorschau:

Diese Studie untersucht kritisch das Konzept der Kreislaufwirtschaft (CE) durch zwei systematische Literaturübersichten in der allgemeinen Management- und Wirtschaftsliteratur (28 Artikel) sowie im Operations- und Supply Chain Management (45 Artikel). Dabei fokussiert sie auf zwei zentrale Fragen: wie CE-Kritikpunkte systematisch kategorisiert werden können und wie tiefgreifend diese Kritik in OSCM-Diskussionen reflektiert wird. Die Analyse identifiziert sechs Hauptkritikkategorien: Konzeptualisierung, Effizienz, Implementierung, Regulierung, Produkt/Prozess und wirtschaftlicher Wert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die OSCM-Literatur zwar CE-Kritik anerkennt, jedoch nur 20 % der Publikationen über oberflächliche Erwähnungen hinausgehen und konkrete, umsetzbare Lösungsansätze vorschlagen. Die Studie hinterfragt die vorherrschenden utopischen Annahmen zur Kreislaufwirtschaft und deckt eine problematische Diskrepanz zwischen der Nennung von Limitationen und deren zielgerichteter wissenschaftlicher Behandlung auf. Die Autoren plädieren für verstärkte interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit und eine tiefere Einbettung der CE-Kritik in zukünftige Forschungsrahmen zur Entwicklung realistischer Lösungsansätze.
