Towards social network metrics for supply network circularity

Purpose Despite the systemic nature of circular economy (CE), theorisation that draws from a supply network perspective is only incipient. Moreover, operations and chain management (OSCM) field has engaged in little dialogue with circularity. This study explores social analysis (SNA) to depict how shift linear not leads higher rates resource economy, repair recycle but also reshapes governance dynamics structure networks.
