New Circular Economy Article in California Management Review

The Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley has just released its Spring 2018 Special Issue on the Circular Economy. Global Leadership Academy is honored to have our own Dr. Gregory Unruh featured in the journal with his article entitled Circular Economy, 3D Printing, and the Biosphere Rules.

This article applies the Biosphere Rules—a biomimicry-inspired management framework for circular economy initiatives—to the emerging field of additive manufacturing and three-dimensional (3D) Printing, which are revolutionizing industrial sectors from medical devices to spare parts. They are also potentially keys in the emergence of a true circular economy that will bring about environmentally sustainable manufacturing. This article lays out an established strategy that can guide managers and policy makers in pursuit of a cradle-to-cradle economy.
