Abstract

The circular economy model enables businesses to incorporate regenerative manufacturing systems that use closed-loop resources to achieve economic and environmental sustainability. The work focuses on the circular economy’s competitive advantage from the multinationals apparel industry’s internationalization paradigm. A qualitative data analysis technique was used to analyze secondary data obtained for this work. Also, two cases study was selected to demonstrate the circular economy model practice. As a result, the fast fashion industry is increasingly focused on sustainability and environmental value development. Firms need competitive advantages to grow and can grow by leveraging the competitive advantages of the circular economy. Sustainable practices are not only essential for development but also business practices like production and operations. The value creation and competitive advantage in this work can also benefit the practitioners of this discipline when taking internationalization decisions from a circular economy perspective.

摘要

循环经济模型使企业能够整合使用闭环资源的再生制造系统，以实现经济和环境的可持续性。工作重点是从跨国服装业的国际化范式中研究循环经济的竞争优势。使用定性数据分析技术来分析为这项工作获得的二手数据。此外，还选择了两个案例研究来展示循环经济模型的实践。因此，快时尚行业越来越关注可持续性和环境价值的发展。企业需要竞争优势才能成长，并且可以通过利用循环经济的竞争优势来实现增长。可持续实践不仅对发展至关重要，而且对生产和运营等商业实践也至关重要。在从循环经济的角度做出国际化决策时，这项工作中的价值创造和竞争优势也可以使本学科的从业者受益。
