Circular Plastics Economy: A Multidisciplinary Perspective provides an understanding of the complex issues surrounding plastic waste management, including environmental challenges, risks associated with microplastic contamination, and the detection of micro- and nano-plastics. The book explores conventional and emerging technological solutions for plastic waste management, such as reusing, recycling, pyrolysis, and heterogeneous catalysis while also considering alternative approaches like biochar and microbe-based degradation that foster a holistic perspective on the transition towards a circular plastics economy.With its multidisciplinary approach, this book provides an analysis of the challenges and opportunities associated with circular plastics economy, guiding the development of sustainable solutions on a global scale. By addressing these diverse perspectives, this book offers a guide for researchers and professionals interested in tackling the challenges of plastic waste to achieve a sustainable and circular approach to managing plastic waste. - Addresses circular economy solutions by providing a state-of-the-art knowledge on key scientific interventions for transitioning towards a circular plastics economy- Provides easy access to state-of-the-art findings and perspectives on circular economy and plastics from multiple scientific disciplines- Highlights environmental issues due to improper plastic waste management- Focuses on various technological interventions (both conventional and emerging) throughout the lifecycle of plastics to help achieve circularity

This book demonstrates to managers the strategic significance of intra-organizational social networks. It argues that strategic management is embedded in the complexity of social relations that shape the strategic direction of a company. Currently there are few tools available to systematically collect information about the social functioning of an organization. This book fills this gap by shifting attention to the social relations that contribute to strategic advantage and that build on relationships that provide unique resources and create value for the business. It considers three perspectives on how social networks have a strategic function: first, social networks constitute everyday strategic action; second, social networks convey cultural meanings; and third, how social networks depict social processes that continually illustrate what the organization is and what it can become. The book shows top and upper-middle management how cultivating an understanding of intra-firm social relations can help them to build unique strategic advantage and make use of the day-to-day knowledge that emerges in the social connections and interactions within an organization.

As digitalization and social media are increasingly blurring the boundaries between traditional societal, political, and economic institutions, this book provides a cross-disciplinary examination of value co-creation. From various standpoints, it examines how institutions contribute to service ecosystems and how digitalization is transforming value co-creation in these ecosystems. Further, the book shares new perspectives on relational dynamics among government, companies, and citizens. These insights fill the gaps between service science and political science by integrating institutional logics into the concept of value co-creation.

The book subsequently examines society as an interaction space. Topics discussed include the new logic and transformation mechanisms of economic activities, citizen participation, governance, and policy-making in the face of technological innovations, market-based reforms, and the risk of disconnect between citizens and policy-making. Here the focus is on value co-creation in complex adaptive systems where institutions, individuals, and businesses negotiate value and interests in networked relations.

In closing, the book presents a range of empirical case studies on value co-creation, which provide examples of active networked citizenship, innovative governance and policy-making, democratic leadership, and trust-building dialogue among institutions. The studies address the context of Nordic countries, recognized as world-leading democracies. Pursuing a systems approach, the book articulates a social reality composed of interacting and interconnected elements that cannot be captured with only micro or macro levels of analysis. Service ecosystems are considered as configurations of people and technologies embedded in institutionalized rules, cultural meanings, and practices, offering valuable insights into the service-centered view of markets and society. Given the breadth and depth of its coverage, the book offers a valuable resource for all students and scholars interested in understanding and envisioning the future democratic landscape.
