Resumen
The process of shaping an entrepreneurial identity is emerging as a focal point in the field
of entrepreneurship. Scholarly efforts to date have turned attention to what happens during
the process of identity creation, how, and why. In this article, we seek to extend the current
literature by examining how entrepreneurs mold their entrepreneurial identities while
enacting circular business models. Specifically, identity construction under circular
business modeling is proposed as a negotiation process whereby the conflict mechanisms
by which entrepreneurs construct their entrepreneurial identities are highly influenced by
stakeholders’ interests. Propositions regarding the inherence of stakeholders are presented
and discussed.
