Abstract

Integrating insights from the knowledge diversity literature into current theory on circular business model innovation, it is argued in this study that the level of variety of managerial ties is an essential factor in explaining the relationship between organizational inertia and circular business model innovation. A questionnaire was designed to gather data on circular business model innovation, organizational inertia and the level of variety of managerial ties of over 50 different organizations within the construction and infrastructure industry in the Netherlands. The results show that the level of variety of managerial ties explain a lot of variation in circular business model innovation of these organizations. The findings also indicate that the level of variety of managerial ties moderates the relationship between organizational inertia and circular business model innovation.
