EABIS is launching the Call for Contributions for its 8th Annual Colloquium
hosted by IESE Business School (Barcelona, Sept. 21-22).
Three days after the last EABIS Colloquium (Cranfield, Sept 2008), Lehman
Brothers collapsed, unleashing a financial, economic and increasingly a
socio-political and governance crisis.
This years Colloquium will therefore focus on the governance of the firm,
in the context of new global governance challenges. Main questions to
explore will be how the role of business in society is likely to change and
to what extent governance mechanisms can foster corporate responsibility at
the global, company and individual levels.
EABIS and IESE highly welcome contributions that present new research
insights and ideas, business responses, and forward-looking thought
leadership. We value multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary inputs from
Strategic Management, Accounting, Finance, Corporate Governance, Public
Affairs, Organisational Behaviour, HRM, Operations Management, Value
Creation and Entrepreneurship, International Relations and Global
Governance, Political Economy, and of course Corporate Responsibility,
Sustainability and Business Ethics.
The deadline for submissions is close of business on FRIDAY, MAY 29.
The Colloquium will bring together over 300 senior academics, executives,
policy thinkers and non-governmental representatives. As one of the worlds
largest business-academic-stakeholder event on Corporate Responsibility and
management development, it is a unique platform for high level debate and
exchange. More information is available at the official 2009 Colloquium
