3.2.1. Cluster 1 (Strategic Adoption for Circular Economy)

Within this cluster, all studies contribute to the inherent need for collaboration among stakeholders to drive the circular economy in strengthening sustainability-oriented innovation. To build this agenda, big data analyses and digital transformations are needed [52], along with a strengthening of circular economy practice and collaboration to build green innovation [53,54]. On the other hand, business operations that take into account sustainability will improve the global value chain [55], thereby increasing social value and competitive advantage. The impact of this is the creation of a collaborative economy and economic performance in environmental collaboration for sustainable performance [56]. Other scholars have concluded that the circular economy concept adopted in routine organizational activities, such as green supply-chain management, waste reduction, circular economy-oriented innovation, collaborative consumption, and clean energy, will improve environmental practices in accelerating the circular economy transition [57].
