The 11th Annual EABIS Colloquium will be hosted by founding partner IMD in
Lausanne, Switzerland, on July 2-4, 2012. Building on the 2011 conference,
the central theme will be Sustainability, Strategic Innovation &
Entrepreneurship.
The conference will feature perspectives from global business and thought
leaders, world-leading academics in their field and a range of interactive
sessions to expand knowledge horizons in this vital field of practice and
study. Notably, it will also integrate the formal 10th anniversary of EABIS
and the launch of The Academys new vision and mission for our second decade.
The emphasis of the event will be on 1) whether, why and how sustainability
can be a key driver for innovation, 2) identification of synergies between
sustainability and innovation success, and of 3) product, process and
systemic innovative solutions that leverage sustainability issues and turn
them into opportunities for companies, thus contributing to competitive
advantage and leadership.
The 2012 Annual Colloquium invites research, analysis, case studies and
conceptual work from corporate, academic, policy and independent experts
from around the world. Papers submitted must focus on topics related to the
theme of the conference - Strategic innovation for sustainability - and be
submitted by 30 March 2012. Download the full call for contributions from:
