Posted: 2012/01/06  Submission Deadline: Feb 1, 2012
More Information: Website
The Center for Financial Policy at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business announces a Call for Papers and Proposals for the Henry Kaufman Conference on Religious Traditions and Business Behavior.
This conference explores two central questions in the relationship between the world’s major religious traditions and the business behavior of adherents to those traditions: First, what do the world’s major organized religious traditions – Protestantism, Catholicism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism – prescribe about business and financial ethics and behavior? Second, how and why have business and financial actors seriously compromised the leading religious traditions of their cultures?
By interrogating these two core questions, the conference will yield insights valuable to contemporary business and religious leaders about abiding questions. Complete details at www.rhsmith.umd.edu

Special Issue: Stakeholder Theory and Workplace Spirituality (and/or Religion)
Guest Editor: Andrew Wicks
 Stakeholder Theory has become an important and prevalent theory that informs scholarship in a wide array of domains – from ethics, to management, the functional areas of business (e.g. accounting, finance, marketing), law, health care, public policy and others. While this literature has grown and expanded, little has been written that specifically connects stakeholder theory to spirituality and religion in the workplace. This special issue aims to focus the attention of scholars on better understanding how stakeholder theory might provide new insights and enrich current thinking on the topic of spirituality and religion in the workplace.
Submission Deadline: Authors should submit original papers (up to 30 pages of double-spaced text, including references and tables) by March 1, 2012. All submissions will be peer reviewed.
