Call for Papers
As usual the conference is intended to be
interdisciplinary and welcomes contributions from anyone who
has a perspective on this important issue. This time we will
be focusing on one of the most urgent issues of the present.
So at this conference there will be a focus on the theme of
CSR and Sustainability
Sustainability is a central concern of
businesses, governments and individuals at the present time.
It is often related to environmental sustainability and the
imminent arrival of Hubbert’s Peak coupled with evidence of
climate change and resource depletion has fostered this
view. Brundtland of course recognised the three pillars of
economic, social and environmental as all integral to any
concept of sustainable development. This is all intimately
connected to CSR. We therefore consider that it is timely to
look in greater detail at this issue, although papers
addressing all other areas of CSR are welcome. Thus papers
are welcome on any topic related to this broad theme and
suggested topics for papers include:
-
Sustainable business activity
-
Business responses to climate change
-
Multi-national Corporate Accountability
-
Developing sustainable strategies
-
Accounting for climate change Social
entrepreneurship
-
Dealing with Hubbert’s Peak Measuring
and managing virtual water content
-
Carbon footprint accounting
-
Socially responsible business activities
-
Globalisation and Corporate Activity
-
Regulation of Corporate Social and
Environmental Behaviour
-
Governmental Influences on Corporate
Accountability
-
CSR and Corporate Risk
-
Corporate Responsibility and the Triple
Bottom Line
Offers to run workshops, symposia, poster sessions,
themed tracks or alternative events are especially welcome.
Please contact Nick
Capaldi with suggestions.
Although preference will be given to full papers,
abstracts of 200-500 words will also be considered. All
papers and abstracts should be sent by 10th January 2011 by
email to David
Crowther. No more than 2 papers will be accepted from
any author.
We will publish proceedings and full details concerning
other publishing opportunities for the papers presented at
the conference will be provided during the conference.
Doctoral Colloquium
This year we will again be running a doctoral colloquium
on one day of the conference. The aim will be to give
detailed feedback to doctoral researchers concerning their
papers. Feedback will be specific to each person and their
research, and will be given by an experienced academic in
the field. The colloquium will be an integral part of the
conference and all delegates will be expected to participate
fully in the conference but the sessions will give extra
time to presenters – to allow for discussion and formal
feedback. This colloquium will be organised by Professor Dr
Güler Aras and abstracts of 200-500 words should be sent by
31st December 2010 by email to
Guler Aras. In order
to allow detailed feedback full papers will be required in
advance of the conference – full details will be given to
participants upon acceptance.
Following the tradition established at the 6th conference
in Kuala Lumpur, a Young Academician award will be made
during this colloquium.
Venue of the Conference
The conference will be held in the Loyola University. The
conference fee will be announced later and will include
accommodation, meals and conference materials. An optional
sightseeing tour will be organised at the end of the
conference; full details will be available later. We look
forward to welcoming you to New Orleans in 2011 for the 10th
conference in the series. Full and updated details can be
found at the
conference website
