Abstract
The Circular Economy has gained momentum in recent years due to its potential to achieve sustainability. Hence a circular transition is imminent, where businesses can excel a crucial role by transforming their current models into circular business models (CBM). However, its implementation is scarce since companies may perceive it produces complex problems despite their benefits. Consequently, the advancement of CBMs in organizations depends on the practical and innovative management of circular-sustainable challenges. Thus, the purpose of this thesis is to study how paradoxical management and ecosystem collaboration overcome CBMs tensions by performing a Delphi study with experts from the Netherlands' circular fashion retail sector. The research found that both approaches complement each other, increase the innovation for CBMs development, and facilitating a culture based on them could be of benefit for any organization towards circular transition.
