N2 - In recent years, the concept of circular economy (CE) has increasingly gained traction, especially among practice and policy communities. In academia, research on CE mainly deals with practical and technical aspects, with marginal attention to theory. A lack of common understanding of definition, assumptions, boundaries, principles, and goals of this ‘umbrella concept’ can result in ‘construct collapse’ (Hirsch & Levin, 1999). To add clarity and avoid deadlock, this Presenter Symposium aims to bridge CE and management theory by discussing some theoretical perspectives to investigate the complexities of the concept. To this end, the Symposium includes five conceptual and empirical studies, each adopting one or more theoretical lenses. Together, the five presentations address how the interactions between management theory and CE can both extend the theories to respond to the emerging business and society challenges and motivate business actions to close material loops.
