Abstract
global stakeholders’ collective initiative complements MNEs effort to move their supply chains to a circular economy. Using two TSSs in Bangladesh’s apparel industry i.e. ‘Circular Fashion Partnership’ and ‘SWITCH2CE’, as embedded case studies, our study explores three emergent properties (i.e. drivers): (i) actors shared purposes, (ii) shared cognition and logics, and (iii)symbolic change and transformation that shape TSS’s effort to move MNEs supply chain towards a circular economy, potentially leading TSS to a TC. The TSS and TC concepts
facilitate an embedded and contextualized view of MNEs, placing MNEs as one amongst a group of actors; instead of a central actor, who come together to work on a common, yet sometimes contested goal. We, thus, explore the ‘emergent properties’ of moves, by TSS, towards a circular economy in MNEs’ global supply chains; and thereby heed the call by Marano et al. (2024), and present an alternative perspective to IB literature to understand the
multi-tier and multi-stakeholders collaboration in transitioning towards a CE.
