Call for Papers: Virtues and Virtuousness: Will the Twain Ever Meet? Posted: 2013/04/04
Deadline: 2013/10/01  The increased interest in virtue ethics in business, management and organization studies since the turn of the century has been associated with the development of scales measuring the incidence and associations of particular virtues. Studies have demonstrated correlations between virtue measures at individual (e.g. Peterson and Seligman 2004), team (e.g. Palanski, Kahai and Yammarino 2011) and organizational (e.g. Chun 2005) levels with such variables as organizational performance, citizenship behaviours and job satisfaction. But a virtue ethics scholar who has received classical philosophical training may not even recognize, much less feel identified with this body of literature. Why so?
For the Business Ethics: A European Review special issue on “Virtues and Virtuousness: Will the Twain Ever Meet?”, contributions that study this two-pronged approach, philosophical and foundational, on the one hand, and psychological, empirical and quantitative, on the other are invited. The European Review is particularly keen to publish articles which, having clearly defined the potentials and limitations of each method, proceed to explore possible synergies between the two that may shape the future of virtue ethics in business, management and organizations. Apart from philosophy and psychology, research carried out in other disciplines such as economic theory, sociology, organization theory and neuroscience, among others, would also be much appreciated. Both theoretical or conceptual and practical or applied works, including case studies and discussions are welcome. Call for Papers: Managing for Political Corporate Social Responsibility Posted: 2012/12/04
Deadline: 2013/08/31  The literature on corporate social responsibility (CSR) has taken a ‘political turn’ in recent years. This work has highlighted how firms are increasingly involved in the provision of public goods and shape global business regulation in various ways. While the debate on these issues has proliferated in recent years, the various ways along which political CSR evolves have remained largely unexplored.
The Journal of Management Studies invites conceptual and empirical submissions drawing on a range of theoretical perspectives and diverse methodologies. They expect papers to advance their theoretical understanding of the various forms of managing political CSR. Call for Papers: Conference on "Sustainability and the Corporation: Big Ideas" Posted: 2012/11/06
Deadline: 2013/08/30  On November 15th - 16th of 2013, the Harvard Business School will host a conference for research on sustainability from a corporate, investor, and civil society perspective. The conference will explore research pertaining to new business strategies, models, processes and systems that may be useful to managers that will lead organizations in the 21st century.
Papers for consideration must be submitted to gserafeim@hbs.edu by August 30th, 2013. Authors of accepted papers will be notified by September 30th, 2013. Call for Papers: 3rd Annual Australasian Business Ethics Network Conference Posted: 2013/04/24
Deadline: 2013/07/31  Submissions are now being invited for the 3rd annual ABEN conference on business, ethics and business ethics. Bringing academics, critics and practitioners together to discuss and debate the nature, intent, effects and futures of business ethics in Australasia and beyond, the ABEN conference is a key forum in the region for reflective, engaged and philosophical work in the area. Once again, the conference is linked with publication opportunities in business ethics and professional ethics journals (The Journal of Business Ethics Education and the Australian Journal of Applied and Professional Ethics), as well as Philosophy of Management, the leading interdisciplinary journal with a focus on applied philosophy in management. Like the wider network from which it originates, the ABEN conference is inclusive – welcoming submissions that explore business ethics from a range of theoretical, empirical and practical positions and perspectives.
This year, ABEN purposefully links the theme to the notion of managing ethics on the edge, to promote awareness of the multitude of philosophical issues that mainstream management research appears to ignore. This raises some interesting questions for ethics teachers and researchers to address. For example:
- Given the rhetoric around the importance of ethics in business, are moral considerations and values being authentically included in emerging management practices and strategies or do they remain at the periphery of managers’ thinking?
- Are moral values and competencies becoming part of core learning objectives at all levels of study in University business courses, or do they remain on the periphery? If they are being included, how are they being taught and to what effect?
- Are existing moral philosophies serving the needs of moral decision making in business and business education? Are there philosophical alternatives to orthodox approaches that have been hitherto peripheral to the field that may serve teaching and practice in more constructive ways?
Papers are welcomed that address these questions in the context of (e.g.) Australasian business practice and education, the place of the employee, the questions of sustainability and of responsible accounting, as well as the place of human rights in the workplace.

Call for Papers: Ethics in Finance - Robin Cosgrove Prize 2012-2013 Posted: 2013/02/12

Call for Papers: Corruption and Democracy Posted: 2013/05/14
Deadline: 2013/05/15  The Ethics forum/Les Ateliers de l'éthique invites submissions on corruption in contemporary democratic societies. Submissions will deal with the legal, moral, political, sociological and economical processes that disrupt the normal and ideal functioning of democratic life and undermine public trust. They will also attempt to examine how contemporary democratic theories, especially “deliberative” ones, can (or cannot) help us thinking about corruption.
In order to fully grasp the complex realities of corruption, scholars need to provide sophisticated accounts of practices like fraud, bribery, nepotism, undue influence, insider trading and so on. But it seems plausible to say that understanding corruption also requires a better analysis of practices and behaviors that are not straightforwardly illegal (or immoral), but that nonetheless undermine the health of our democratic systems. Submissions of papers that explore this line of inquiry are encouraged. Call for Papers: 26th European Business Ethics Network Annual Conference Posted: 2013/05/04
Deadline: 2013/05/14  The theme of the EBEN 2013 Annual Conference is “License to operate”. In a narrow sense the ‘license to operate’ means the stakeholders’ approval of a particular business project that can affect their lives. The term could be understood differently, however. It could be applied to the acceptance or non-acceptance of the expansion of profit-seeking business into sectors of activity that, at least in Europe, were formerly performed by the state or non-for profit institutions (healthcare, education, utilities, etc). Or, more broadly, the ‘license to operate’ could refer to an implicit social contract between corporations and society at large.
The discussion about the legitimacy of corporations is an old one. But EBEN thinks that the context has evolved and that the awareness and the expectations of the public have changed. The EBEN conference in Lille invites any kind of proposal that invigorates a renewed discussion.
Other themes:
Besides this specific focus on legitimacy, EBEN welcomes contributions that treat general topics in business ethics. Theoretical, empirical and managerial approaches to these issues are welcome. Contributions from both academics and practitioners are encouraged.
The conference is preceded by a one-day doctoral workshop. Call for Papers: 20th Annual International Vincentian Business Ethics Conference Posted: 2012/11/04

Call for Papers: 50th Societas Ethica Annual Conference; Soesterberg, Netherlands Posted: 2013/03/27
Deadline: 2013/03/31 This will be the 50th Societas Ethica Annual Conference. It is realized in cooperation with the ESF Network “Rights to a Green Future” and the Ethics Institute in Utrecht.
Climate change, dwindling resources, and growth of the global population have emerged as challenges for all areas of political action in modern societies. These challenges have been on the political agenda since the “Limits to Growth” report was released in 1972. While the challenges are well known, and while there appears to be some form of consensus that sustainability is a goal worth striving for, there is little discussion of how the changes necessary to achieve this goal will affect our political institutions, our social relationships, our moral responsibilities, and our self-understanding in general.
Societas Ethica Young Scholars’ Award:
The Young Scholars’ Award is awarded to the best presentation by a young scholar at the Societas Ethica Annual conference.
Young scholars for the purpose of this competition are PhD student and PhDs who earned their degree less than two years ago and do not have a tenure-track academic position. If you wish to be considered for the YSA, please indicate this in the file with the personal information accompanying your abstract.
For more information about Societas Ethica Young Scholars’ Award, please visit the website at www.societasethica.info. Call for Papers: "The Impact of Emerging Multinationals and Global Development" Workshop Posted: 2013/02/28
Deadline: 2013/03/30  Multinational companies from emerging economies (EMNEs) are becoming major players in the globalised world economy and they are exerting growing influence on the economic dynamics of developing and advanced countries. Given their growing prominence, EMNEs’ outward investments have recently raised voices of concern about their potentially detrimental effects they could have on their host economy and society: for instance, Chinese investments in Africa are often perceived as a new form of imperialism, while investments in the EU are seen as a threat to European firms’ technological superiority, carrying the risk of dissipating their competitive advantages. Also, given the institutional weaknesses of EMNEs’ home countries, doubts are cast about their capacity to adopt or transfer socially responsible business practices in host economies, and to respect human rights accordingly. Beside these alarmist voices, however, evidence about EMNEs’ impacts is scant, as very little scholarly research has so far investigated the economic and social consequences of EMNEs’ operations both on their home and host countries.
This workshop solicits papers that address this largely neglected issue and examine EMNEs’ economic and social impacts on both home and host countries. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- The strategies of international expansion, modes of entry and motivations of EMNEs, and their consequences on the economic development processes in the host country;
- The drivers, nature and consequences of EMNEs’ collaborations with host country/region business firms and other public/private organizations;
- The challenges connected to cultural and business practice distance between EMNEs home country and the host country;
- The Liability-of-Foreignness and/or Liability-of-Origin problems connected to EMNEs operations in host countries;
- The differences in the economic and social impacts of EMNEs operations in host advanced and developing countries;
- The factors facilitating EMNEs positive social and human rights impacts in host economies;
- The EMNEs’ subsidiary-headquarters reverse knowledge transfer and its impact on the home country;
- The pivotal role of subsidiaries in explaining home and host country impacts;
- The role of Governments’ policies in influencing the impact of EMNCs on home and host countries;

Social movements such as the 'Arab Spring', the 'Occupy Movement', 'Open Source' and 'Creative Commons' movements, the ‘SlutWalk movement’, the 'Idle no More' movement, and the American Tea Party movements have inspired The Toronto Group to challenge the status quo and move towards new paradigms and horizons.

Deadline: 2013/02/28  The world has reached a tipping point and a new business model, focused on the triple bottom line (planet, people and profits), is rapidly emerging. A clear sign of change is the growing number of businesses that have subscribed to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) initiative.
This call for papers asks the following question: How can business schools develop future leaders that support, promote and incorporate the PRME principles into the mainstream business model? The theme of the conference emphasizes the need for integration “e3 = earth, education, economics”, with education being the critical factor in the equation.
The conference will begin with a welcome dinner/reception on Tuesday June 11, 2013, with the main day of conference activities taking place on Wednesday June 12, 2013. The 1st PRME Canada Regional Meeting will be hosted by MacEwan University in Edmonton, Alberta. Registration will open Feb 19, 2013 and can be accessed via the conference website at: www.macewan.ca/e3 Call for Papers: Rotman ICPM Research Funding Posted: 2013/01/10
Deadline: 2013/02/18  Rotman ICPM and its international partners believe that creative research is central to achieving its mission. Research proposals must have significant international interest/implications and cannot be too narrowly focused. Below are eight key areas of interest to the ICPM Research Committee.
- Collaborative Strategies
- Pension Design
- Pension/Investment Regulation
- Agency Issues
- Governance/Org Design
- Investnment Beliefs
- Risk Measurement/Management
- Strategy Implementation
Call for Presenters: “Time” and Responsible Investing Symposium Posted: 2013/01/25
Deadline: 2013/02/15  The purpose of the symposium is to bring together finance industry practitioners, academics, graduate students and other stakeholders to critically investigate the temporal dimensions of responsible investing — the future, the past, timing and the pace of time — in order to understand obstacles to and better directions for SRI. A long-term approach is increasingly hailed as the foremost benchmark for SRI, with many commentators calling for investors to emphasize long-term value preservation and creation. Another key temporal dimension is the past, and investors sometimes have failed to appreciate it or, more precisely, failed to learn from its lessons. For example, the Global Financial Crisis, although of unprecedented scale, was preceded by a history of market jolts. Another relevant temporal perspective is the pace of time, and its impact on wise and precautionary decision-making. From individual to system-level decision-making, human beings can be impatient, and this can be harmful to a sustainable financial economy. The “Slow Money” movement (like the “Slow Food” movement) is one response to this concern.
Interested presenters should submit a proposal to <richardson@law.ubc.ca> by 15 February, providing the title and abstract of the proposed talk, and a brief biographical statement of relevant work experience and qualifications. Call for Papers: ASAC 2013 Social Responsibility Division Posted: 2013/02/03
Deadline: 2013/02/15  Event Date: June 8-11, 2013

Deadline: 2013/02/01  Since the 1990s both governmental and non-governmental actors have sought to shape and disseminate general norms for corporate social responsibility, which have been translated into a growing number of relatively prominent voluntary initiatives such as the UN's Global Compact. While the growth of these international CSR initiatives and norms over the past two decades has been impressive, it also has been uneven in terms of firm participation and the areas of corporate social responsibility addressed. The literature on business and politics has examined the determinants of firm participation, but we know far less about why certain types of CSR initiatives have developed faster and been more successful than others. This panel seeks to gain insight into this latter question by examining and situating corporate human rights codes and norms within the broader CSR context and agenda. Some papers, for example, could explore why environmental and sustainability codes to date have been able to gain greater prominence and adherents than their human rights counterparts. Similarly such papers might explore the extent to which human rights codes have been influenced by their environmental forbearers and with what effect. Other papers might examine why certain areas within the human rights rubric such as child labour have become the subject of high profile campaigns while other issues such as fair remuneration have failed to gain a foothold on the global CSR agenda. The panel therefore seeks to shed light on which types of, and under what conditions, human rights norms and voluntary initiatives are likely to be successful as well as identifying those human rights concerns that are less amenable to CSR approaches. Call for Papers: JSFI: The Crazy Ideas Edition Posted: 2012/08/15
Deadline: 2013/01/31 The Journal of Sustainable Finance and Investment is curious about:

Many examples can be found which illustrate that, in spite of increasing concerns about environmental and closely related social and governance issues, there has not been a significant global shift towards greater sustainability.

Contributions to the Special Issue may cover (but are not limited to) the following research questions:
- What are the contemporary sustainable investment practices, and how effective are they in terms of their contribution to sustainable development? How are these sustainable investing practices affected by other events and upheavals in financial markets, such as the 2008/2009 financial crisis or the 2011 Euro crisis?
- How can different (economic, sociological, psychological, etc.) theories of equity market participants' decision making, business cycles, and aggregate market dynamics inform the debate on sustainable development and financial markets?
- How do individual market participants react to sustainable investment products? Do the characteristics of these "sustainable" investors differ from those of regular investors?

Deadline: 2012/03/14  Submission Deadline: March 14, 2012
Contributions are sought for a special issue of the Australian Journal of Professional and Applied Ethics. The AJPAE is particularly interested in papers that address the following themes:
Spirituality and business ethics: Interest in spirituality within the workplace has grown exponentially in recent years – both from instrumental and normative perspectives. What have we learnt so far? How are the paradigms compatible with one another? How do we manage the demands of the different ‘spirits’: the spirit of capitalism, the spirit of Mother Earth, the spirit of religions, the spirit of Man, the spirit of Woman – amongst others?
Myths in business ethics: Dissatisfied with current trends in the field, a growing number of scholars ‘go back to basics’ and re-read original texts from philosophers, economists or early management theorists with hopes of clarifying assumptions most take for granted. What assumptions should be questioned? Which myths pervade the business ethics area? How did they form and develop? What could they tell us about ethics, business and people?
Business, Society and Policy: Business operates within a social and political context. At the same time, business also shapes that context. What are the relationships between business practices, societal expectations and public policy-making? How does business seek to influence public policy and public opinion (in the past, in the present)? How has that influence shaped social outcomes in areas, for example, of distributive justice and environmental sustainability? How can we make it better?
Submission process
Papers submitted for publication in the journal will be blind refereed. Full details of the submission guidelines are available at: http://www.cappe.edu.au/publications/ajpae.htm#Information_for_Authors
Manuscripts should be submitted to the Guest Editor, Peter McGhee at peter.mcghee@aut.ac.nz by 14 March 2012. Authors will be notified of the acceptance or otherwise of their submission by 16 April 2012. This special issue is scheduled to be published in the second half of 2012.
