Dear all
we are happy to announce the following conference:
GRONEN Research Conference 2016
Value(s) for whom? The Changing Role of Business in Society
25-27 May 2016, Hamburg, Germany
Call for paper and conference web page: http://www.wiso.uni-hamburg.de/gronen
The field of business sustainability continues to wrestle with an unsolved tension. On the one hand, firms continue to thrive and extend their business capacity. On the other hand, there is now decades of accumulated evidence that many industries' production patterns are not sustainable. In asking critical questions about how firms create value and values and trying to offer potential answers, the GRONEN 2016 conference intends to advance research in the following two related focal areas: (1) Creating value(s): A new role of the corporation in society? (2) Valuing impacts: How relevant and reliable are sustainability measures?
The program consists of both full paper and research development sessions. In addition, a two-day doctoral consortium takes place on 23-24 May prior to the main conference.
All submissions will undergo a double-blind review process prior to acceptance. A special issue of 'Organization and Environment' will be associated with GRONEN 2016.
Deadline for submissions: 20th January 2016
We look forward to welcoming you in Hamburg!
