    TRACK 2: Tackling Sustainability Challenges in Latin America

    This track explores how Latin-American organizations while aiming to achieve long-term success and prosperity, confront grand societal challenges such as macroeconomic volatility, environmental degradation, increasing poverty and social inequality, deficient education, migration of talent, and a shortage of qualified talent. Examples of relevant research questions are: How can Latin American managers make their organizations recession-proof, and even thrive in the midst of turbulent economies? How do global firms (MNCs) managers deal with / organize for macroeconomic volatility, poverty, social inequality, and other sustainability-related challenges in the Latin American operating environment? How do firms integrate societal and environmental concerns in the development of their long-term strategies? How do local and global companies in the natural resource sector organize for sustainability? How does social inequality shape the business environment? How can companies help reduce inequality or foster community development? This track encompasses research on topics such as public-private collaborations, social innovation, social entrepreneurship, corporate social responsibility, social impact, natural resources management, UN Sustainable Development Goals, business-community development, nonprofit organizations, inclusive growth, among others.
