The Circular Economy by Suzanne Smit and Uthayasankar Sivarajah is a practical and theory-informed textbook for postgraduate and final-year undergraduate students studying Circular Economy, Sustainable Business and related business and management courses.

This textbook includes: - A four-part framework covering planning, organizing, leading and controlling circular economy initiatives - Clear explanations of circular economy theories, strategies and performance metrics - Application of circular principles to finance, operations, supply chain management and business storytelling - Real-world examples illustrating how organizations manage circular transitions &gt;Whether studying sustainable business or preparing for roles in strategy, operations or sustainability, this textbook equips students with the knowledge and practical insight needed to support and lead circular transformation in organizations.

 For Profit: A History of Corporations
 “
 Purposeful Capitalism
 offers a clear-eyed examination of how companies can create long-term value while addressing real societal needs. Through rigorous case studies and a practical framework, Qian shows that purpose and profitability are strongest when grounded in strategy and discipline. This is a thoughtful contribution for business leaders and investors navigating today’s complex environment.”

 In today’s polarising world, businesses frequently face competing demands from across the political spectrum. Progressives are pushing companies to minimise environmental footprints and enhance diversity, equity and inclusion, while conservative activists are labelling those initiatives as “woke” and urging executives to focus solely on profit maximisation.&nbsp;
 How should corporate leaders navigate this volatile landscape? 
 Purposeful Capitalism
 charts a path forward, centred on the idea of profitable problem-solving. Drawing on lessons from fourteen well-known companies across industries and countries, this book argues that businesses must promote human progress by tackling societal challenges. This requires harnessing the best elements of capitalism, including the ability to attract investment and motivate people through financial rewards. Profit, when it stems from value-creating activities rather than a myopic obsession with financial engineering, should be celebrated, not vilified.&nbsp;
 Engaging and insightful, the book introduces a new framework — the Sustainability Flywheel — which explores how strategy, business models, and sustainability factors interact to create financial value. It shows that good intentions don’t guarantee commercial success. Instead, business leaders must focus on material issues aligned with their strategy and competitive advantage. The result is a more nuanced perspective that moves beyond dogmatic debates about sustainability and capitalism.
 Offering practical guidance for business leaders and investors, 
 Purposeful Capitalism
 is vital reading for anyone interested in improving our economic system and building a flourishing society.
