This book explores fundamental socio-economic trends that are radically changing perspectives on the relationship between people and the world around them. Focusing on the principles of sustainability, circularity and inclusivity, it illustrates how these trends form the breeding ground for a new economy embodying a logic of collectiveness.

Expert contributors highlight six specific global developments that are contributing to societal transition: digitalization, circularity, the bio-based economy, sharing, self-production, and the internet of things and services. They demonstrate how these trends question the foundations and social contracts underlying the current linear economy. They identify a new generation of business models based on key features including intra-organisational collaboration, transparency, and high-level coordination to ensure economic developments contribute to a fair society. Through an analysis of how these trends may develop going forward, they provide innovative recommendations for strategy and policy development alongside a conceptual toolbox for realising the economy of the future.

Framing the Economy of the Future is an essential resource for students and scholars of economics, business and sustainable development. It is also an invaluable guide for professionals in public administration and strategic management.

Edited by Niels Faber, Professor of Transition Towards a Circular Economy, Hanze University of Applied Sciences and Researcher, University of Groningen and Sjors Witjes, Associate Professor, Institute for Management Research, Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands
