摘要

This study investigates the intersection of entrepreneurship and the circular economy (CE) through an integrative bibliometric and Delphi-based approach, emphasizing the knowledge dynamics that underpin this evolving field. The quantitative bibliometric analysis reveals a surge in scholarly outputs post-2015, reflecting the rapid diffusion of CE-related knowledge, particularly around recycling, sustainability, digital circularity, and innovative business models. Network analysis highlights the pivotal role of knowledge creation and dissemination through academic collaborations, institutional leadership, and SME-driven innovations. The subsequent qualitative validation by domain experts reinforces the emergence of six core thematic knowledge clusters—including digital transformation, advanced recycling technologies, and governance frameworks—underscoring how entrepreneurial ecosystems generate and apply knowledge to enable CE transitions. Situated at the confluence of environmental innovation and economic productivity, this study contributes to the knowledge-based economy by mapping how CE entrepreneurship fosters systemic transformation (macro), organizational learning (meso), and individual entrepreneurial action (micro), drawing on insights from the knowledge-based view. The findings offer actionable insights for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers aiming to leverage knowledge creation and application for sustainable economic development.
