Resumo(s)
The circular economy (CE) emerged as an alternative model to the linear system to
foster sustainable development. Entrepreneurship represents a key factor in capturing
new circular business opportunities. Research on circular entrepreneurship
remains at an early phase and is correspondingly somewhat dispersed. Thus, the
research objective here is to bring entrepreneurship into the focus of discussions on
CE through a systematic literature review. In the absence of any systematic review
on this theme, this work aims to map the relevant research and identify the themes
discussed in the literature straddling entrepreneurship and the CE currently dispersed
across the existing literature. Based on a sample of 102 articles collected from the
Scopus and Web of Science databases, this approach identified four thematic groups:
growing circular SMEs, born circular firms and start-ups, social entrepreneurship in
CE, and support ecosystem for circular entrepreneurship. A greater emphasis on the
study of growing circular SMEs to the detriment of other groups is observed. Also,
research in the field is mainly focused on European countries. We then propose a
future research agenda and a conceptual model for the entrepreneurial process in CE
as a point of departure for further developing and deepening the literature on circular
entrepreneurship.
