This dissertation is embedded in one of the major themes of our time: a needed shift to an economy that is sustainable in the long run and functions within our planetary boundaries (Brundtland, 1987; IPCC, 2014, 2021). We are not making sufficient progress in becoming climate neutral (IPCC, 2021). Our current economic rationale seems incapable of unifying economic and environmental activities in a meaningful way. The transition to a circular economy (CE) is proposed as an important part of the solution to this paradox. A circular economy is restorative by intention and design (EMF, 2011) and has rapidly become a leading sustainability paradigm (Geissdoerfer et al., 2017). In a circular economy, businesses are the key actors. Businesses that create circular business models (CBMs) in circular business model innovation (CBMI) processes create a value proposition and design business processes based on circular economy principles (Linder & Williander, 2017; Ludeke‐Freund et al., 2019). However, implementing CE principles in new CBMs has proven challenging (Bocken, 2020; Vermunt et al., 2019).Businesses that attempt to implement CBMs often encounter a misfit between certain key characteristics of CBMs and the institutional setting that is based on a linear economy rationale. Seen through the lens of institutional analysis, a multidisciplinary framework focussing on how the "rules of the game" of socioeconomic systems are defined (North, 1990; Ostrom, 1995; Williamson, 2000), we have seen that the current institutional setting reinforces the current economic rationale (i.e., take, make, use, waste) (Fischer & Pascucci, 2017). It favours incumbent linear logics and business models, while hampering future circular ones. This dissertation considers the dynamic of institutions in the circular economy transition and revolves around the following overall research question: To what extent do circular business models fit within the current institutional setting and how does circular business model innovation forge new institutions to drive the circular economy transition? The answer to this research question is formulated based on four chapters that each answer a specific sub question.Chapter two provides insight in circular economy taking shape in new organisational forms of inter-firm collaborations and how this stimulates the emergence of new institutions that enhance sustainability. The chapter proposes an institutional perspective into the circular economy transition that is currently is lacking yet can improve our understanding of the complexity of moving towards a circular economy when constrained by an institutional system that is aligned with the status quo of a linear economy. The formulated research question of this chapter is how requirements for transitioning to CE create new organizational forms in inter-firm collaborations, and ultimately how they stimulate the emergence of new institutions. Two transition pathways are distinguished. The first pathway is called the 'status quo' (SQ) pathway and is characterised by engaging in circular activities such as optimising up-cycling technologies and infrastructure that further build on existing current linear institutional system.The second pathway is the 'Product-as-a-Service (PaaS) pathway and is characterised by a more fundamental shift of business activities from selling products towards providing services. CBMs following the SQ pathway are more likely to fit within the current institutional setting whereas CBMs following the PaaS pathway encounter a higher number of challenges that are specifically related to contracting, financial mechanisms and chain coordination.Chapter three elaborates on the role of contracts for circular economy, and more specifically on the relation between contract design and CBMI for creating Product Service System models and revolves around the question 'how contractual mechanisms can enable innovation processes in the design of a PSS model between service providers and clients in relation to servitisation, longevity and modularity'.
