Master thesis collaboration – Development of circular supply chain concepts

Dear CEC community,

within the course of our master thesis we want to develop circular supply chain concepts and strategies. Therefore, we are looking for collaborators and partners in order to apply the concept of Circular Economy in a practical supply chain setting.

Potential research topics:

• Going circular: Remodelling and redesigning of a linear supply chain;
• Development of new innovative business models;
• New life cycle assessment concept

Timeline & Location:

• Thesis is to be submitted by May 2019, first interviews for a project kick-off and exchange of data can take place from February 2019 onwards
• The project can be conducted across Europe as we are flexible to travel to your headquarters and offices

Who are we?

We, Chiara Nordio and Eva Baukloh, are two graduate students completing our master program in Supply Chain Management at Copenhagen Business School. As a team composed of two students combining two different backgrounds and nationalities – German and Italian – we bring a fresh, multicultural and objective approach to our partners.

Due to our international working experience within Supply Chain Management, management consultancy as well as various research projects we are results-driven, detailed-oriented and fast-learners.

Your benefits of participation:

If you are interested in going circular with your company, but might now have the time or resources to further look into it, we would be thrilled to help you by developing a circular supply chain concept for you! What we would need from you are quantitative as well as qualitative data and information on current operations to analyse the current state first. As a next step, we can develop a concept aligned with the principles of circular economy.

We are excited to participate in your journey and are open for any kind of ideas and potential topics within this research area.

Thank you very much for your attention.

Chiara Nordio and Eva Baukloh
