Global case studies are analysed to illustrate the motivations, factors, ecosystems, and barriers surrounding circular bioeconomies. The authors discuss and evaluate innovations from diverse industries, including agri-food, marine biorefinery, insect farming, and waste management. They also shed light on firm-level innovation to better understand possible solutions for a successful transition into a circular bioeconomy, advancing current thinking in the field. The empirical and theoretical work presented offers new directions for future research into a circular bioeconomy.

This Research Handbook is a vital reference for researchers of innovation, circular bioeconomies, climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals. It is also of great interest to industry practitioners across agriculture and manufacturing, who can use the insights presented to guide their own sustainable decision-making.

This book provides insights into the intellectual property rights (IPR) managerial practices of key IPR executives from a range of multinational companies, including major research and development firms. It identifies gaps in IPR management and considers the Tabular Application Development (TAD) methodology IPR process optimisation model. The authors adopt an interdisciplinary approach, providing a conceptual framework derived from practice and enriched with theoretical insights, and offering organisational recommendations. In taking into account both Back and Front office processes, Towards Intellectual Property Rights Management will help businesses navigate the maze of IPR and maximise the value they get from innovation.
