日本のGX文脈において
本研究はサーキュラーエコノミー研究の全体像を示しており、日本の資源循環政策やGX推進に示唆を与えるが、日本固有の分析はない。日本の研究者は今後の研究方向の一つである地理的多様性を考慮し、日本からの研究蓄積を進めるべきである。
In the global GX context

📄 Abstract（原文）
This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research at the intersection of circular economy principles and organizational sustainability to map the intellectual structure and evolution of this interdisciplinary field. We employed a multi-method bibliometric approach analyzing 411 publications from the Scopus database. The methodology combined performance analysis (publication trends, influential authors, journals, and countries) with science mapping techniques to reveal the conceptual structure and development of the field. The analysis reveals exponential growth in publications since 2016, with European institutions dominating research contributions. Five major thematic areas emerge: (1) conceptual integration of circular economy and sustainability paradigms, (2) circular business models and value creation, (3) supply chain and operations management for circularity, (4) organizational transformation and change management, and (5) performance measurement and impact assessment. The field has evolved from conceptual foundations toward implementation-focused research, with increasing attention to digital technologies as enablers. Social dimensions remain relatively underdeveloped compared to economic and environmental aspects. Our findings highlight theoretical contributions to understanding how circular economy principles can advance organizational sustainability across the triple bottom line. We identify significant limitations in current research, including geographic imbalance, methodological constraints, limited longitudinal studies, and underdeveloped social dimensions. The study outlines eight promising directions for future research: expanding geographic diversity, advancing methodological approaches, strengthening social dimension research, exploring digital transformation, investigating organizational capabilities, examining resilience connections, developing integrated theoretical frameworks, and exploring policy-practice interactions.
