Edited by Aldona Glińska-Neweś, Professor of Management, Faculty of Economic Sciences and Management, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, Poland and Department of Industrial and Organisational Psychology, Nelson Mandela University, Gqeberha, South Africa and Pauliina Ulkuniemi, Professor of Marketing, Oulu Business School, University of Oulu, Finland

‘The book provides a novel, much needed approach to the circular economy. It explains why we should not forget human perspectives when pursuing circular economy and how we can better engage individuals. It also advises on many other relevant aspects, such as consumer perspectives, ethics, organization culture, leadership, competencies and lifestyle aspects. It would be an ideal course book for students and also gives insights to researchers and experts!’
