Dear ONE Colleagues:
Are you looking for a place to receive great feedback on an early draft of a
paper related to Business in Society? Consider sending your early work to
the newly launched Interactive Working Paper Series, sponsored by the Center
for Business as an Agent of World Benefit (B·A·W·B) at the Case Weatherhead
School of Management now available at:
http://worldbenefit.case.edu/research/paperseries/
The B.A.W.B. Interactive Working Paper Series is an open-access forum
dedicated to showcasing papers that explore the potential for business to
act as an agent of social, environmental, and economic benefit. Topics of
interest include (but are not limited to) perspectives on corporate social
responsibility, social entrepreneurship, organizations and their
relationship to the natural environment, strategies at the bottom of the
pyramid, micro-enterprise, sustainability strategies, transformative
management education, and innovative business partnerships.
A distinctive feature of this forum is the ability for interaction between
authors and readers. Our purpose is developmental: we want to develop a
community of support to help authors prepare their work for future
publication in traditional journals. To this end, both papers and reviews
aim to be collaborative and transparent. All working papers are made
available online for instant and free access. Authors are invited to publish
a brief note in which they share their current thoughts and questions about
the paper. An editorial review is posted with each work. Additional comments
and reflections from readers are encouraged. The interactive design supports
the development of papers for future publication, we also encourage the
development of a community in which a free exchange of ideas promotes
accelerated, deep thinking on a variety of topics related to the role of
business in society.
The next deadline for consideration is June 1 (for appearance on or about
July 1), and every three months thereafter. For more information about
submission guidelines, visit our web-site at:
