Dede Iskandar Siregar

Profile

I am a postgraduate researcher at the Sustainability Research Institute (SRI) within the Business and Organisations for Sustainable Societies (BOSS) research group at the University of Leeds. My research explores circular economy practices in the Global South. I particularly examine how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operationalise and embed circular principles within their business practices. I examine these practices in SMEs that collaborate with local communities in rural villages in Indonesia.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Human Resource Management and a Master’s degree in Strategic Management. Prior to joining the University of Leeds, I gained four years of experience teaching undergraduate students in the areas of operations, strategic management and supply chain management. In addition, I serve as the Managing Editor of the Muhammadiyah Riau Accounting and Business Journal, where I contribute to the development and dissemination of research in accounting and business studies.

Research interests

My research interests lie at the intersection of sustainable business and strategic management. Specifically, I am interested in: Sustainable production and consumption systems, Sustainable business innovation, circular economy and sustainability transitions
