Building From the Ground Up II:

Green Management and Sustainable Enterprise and Why They Matter

AOM All Academy PDW: Sunday, August 9^th – 11:30am

Abstract

This PDW/participatory workshop invites scholars to share current and on-going research on sustainable enterprise and green management practices. Workshop panelists explore research and practice in building new management paradigms and why these matter to scholars in the business and society, sustainability, entrepreneurship, poverty alleviation and management domains. Sustainable enterprise and green management is an emerging field with applied and inductive in design, bringing forth complex questions and fascinating research opportunities. Understanding current trends will help researchers develop more new avenues of research and we hope the workshop will become a catalyst for the development of new research opportunities. Attendees will be able to build networks, deepen insights into current and pressing issues in this domain while sharing and enhancing on-going research projects.  Panelists include:

·         Dr. Gordon Rands [Western Illinois University] and Dr. Mark Starik [George Washington University] will share their knowledge on green management and why it matters for a university to become a sustainable enterprise and how green management can help a well established organization change to become more sustainable.

·         Dr. Mark Milstein [Cornell University] will share his ongoing effort to understand the skills and capabilities in management necessary for organizations to develop competitive growth opportunities and why it matters that we use sustainable enterprise thinking to drive innovation and entrepreneurship forward in the private sector to transform business.

·         Dr. Ted London [University of Michigan] will share his knowledge regarding mutual value creation, sustainable development and the environmental implications for ventures engaged in business strategies to serve BoP markets and why these matter in designing and implementing initiatives meant to alleviate poverty while also generating economic returns.

·         Dr. David Saiia and Dr. Robert Sroufe [Duquesne University] will share their experiences in green management gained through developing and implementing sustainable enterprises both in Ecuador and with the SMBA program in Pittsburgh and why it matters for local and regional business and economic development.

·         Dr. Jim Weber [Duquesne University] and Dr. Michelle Greenwood [Monash University] will share their prior research and ideas about future inquiries into green management reporting in sustainability reports by Fortune Global 250 enterprises, non-profit organizations and small businesses and why it matters that these reports are scrutinized and improved.
