The European Academy of Business in Society (EABIS) is pleased to launch the Call for Contributions for its 8th Annual Colloquium at IESE Business School.
“The Role and Purpose of Business in Society: Challenges and Issues for Global and Corporate Governance”
The current financial crisis has highlighted deep flaws in past approaches to the governance of the firm and of economic systems. This year’s Colloquium will therefore focus on the governance of the firm, in the context of new global governance challenges. We have particular interest in contributions adressing the questions how the role of business in society is likely to change and to what extent governance mechanisms can foster corporate responsibility at the global, company and individual levels.
We invite organisations to submit contributions that present new research insights and ideas, business responses, and forward-looking thought leadership. EABIS and IESE value multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary inputs from Corporate Governance, Public Affairs, Organisational Behaviour, HRM, Operations Management, Value Creation, Strategic Management, Accounting, Finance, and Entrepreneurship, International Relations and Global Governance, Political Economy.
Deadline for Submissions: Friday, May 29.
The Full Call and the Submission Guidelines can be downloaded from www.eabis.org/colloquium/eabis-colloquium-2009.html
The Colloquium which falls on 21 – 22 September, in Barcelona, Spain will bring together over 300 senior academics, executives, policy thinkers and policy makers, plus international and non-governmental representatives.
