Case study and materials attached
Once we have gained a more detailed understanding of a company’s circular business model (Part A), it is also important to think critically about the effect of the business model. There might be drawbacks, trade-offs, or other ways in which the positive effects of circularity could be undermined.
In Part B (corresponding to Week 3) you should reflect on which assessment methods could be used to measure a business model’s environmental performance and on whether Caterpillar’s circular business model is likely to bring about environmental benefits. This consists of two tasks:
1) Your first task is to identify an assessment method introduced in Week 3 that could be used to measure environmental performance and to briefly explain what it can measure.
2) Your second task is to identify two ways the environmental benefits from Caterpillar’s remanufacturing activities might be undermined. The skill-builder lecture at the end of Week 3 will help you to think critically about environmental impacts and discusses some examples.
