| Abstract | To enable corporations to bring about more responsible business practices, changes in the wider system within which businesses operate - including the mental models through which sustainability is understood in the management field - are necessary. Drawing on functioning principles in natural ecosystems - as embodied in circular economy thinking - this conceptual article proposes some constructs to inform the development of a sustainability management theory. We show that the potential for the circular economy to provide a sounder basis to sustainable management theory rests on its capacity to propose a socio-eco-systemic framework, which overcomes the separation between man and nature and is isomorphic to the conception proposed by the emerging complexity paradigm. Also, we show that, by imagining a new cognitive framework and evaluating the current linear model and the alternative circular model from a moral standpoint, the circular economy can be thought of as an exercise in moral imagination. |
