📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本はSSBJや統合報告書を通じて統合的思考を推進しているが、本研究は研究分野間の断片化を指摘しており、日本企業が循環経済・ESG・ネットゼロを同時に追求するための統合的ガイダンス開発の重要性を示唆する。
In the global GX context
As TCFD, ISSB, and CSRD push for integrated disclosure, this paper's finding that research streams are fragmenting suggests a need for more cross-disciplinary work to support coherent strategy at the firm and policy level.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a bibliometric framework to understand the integration of circular economy, ESG, and net-zero research streams, useful for identifying knowledge gaps.
🏢実務担当者:The fragmentation finding implies that firms may receive disjointed guidance; they should actively seek integrated frameworks for strategy and reporting.
🏛政策担当者:The study highlights the risk of siloed policy approaches; policymakers should foster cross-lens integration to avoid inconsistent signals.
📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT Sustainability‐oriented business research increasingly treats circular economy, ESG governance, and net‐zero transitions as complementary pillars of systemic transformation. However, prior bibliometric reviews have largely examined these domains separately, leaving unresolved the question of whether they are becoming integrated within a shared knowledge architecture or developing as parallel research streams. This study examines 472 peer‐reviewed journal articles and review papers published between 1995 and 2026 to assess how three transition lenses are coordinated: system design through the circular economy; governance and accountability through ESG/SDGs; and transition targets through net‐zero and decarbonization. Its novelty lies not in observing fragmentation, which is partly expected in a growing interdisciplinary field, but in formalizing that fragmentation as a quantifiable, statistically benchmarked coordination problem. The central finding is that cross‐lens coupling has declined steadily over time and remains lower than degree‐preserving null‐model expectations. This indicates nonrandom differentiation across the knowledge streams, despite rhetorical convergence in policy and managerial discourse. The study does not treat bibliometric fragmentation as direct evidence of firm‐level, policy‐level, or transition failure. Rather, it identifies a knowledge‐architecture gap that may limit the availability of integrated conceptual guidance for circular business‐model redesign, ESG accountability, supplier governance, capital allocation, and decarbonization strategy. By reframing fragmentation in this way, the study offers a diagnostic framework for assessing whether sustainability‐oriented business knowledge supports integrated strategic action across circularity, ESG accountability, and net‐zero transformation.
