The conference will be held July 14-15, 2011 at the Tacoma campus of the University of Washington. Our theme this year is “Social Responsibility: Perceptions and Reality.”

    This unique conference brings together scholars from a variety of business disciplines including management, marketing, accounting, finance and economics.

    Highlights of the conference include:
    * a panel discussion with top CSR executives from Boeing, Microsoft and Weyerhaeuser
    * a keynote address by Dr. Philip Cochran regarding the strategic nature of social responsibility

    Paper sessions include:
    * Understanding Stakeholder Views of Social Responsibility
    * How Auditors, Investors and Insurers View CSR
    * International Perceptions of CSR

    A new feature this year is research roundtables that encourage discussion and development of new research ideas.
