CALL FOR PAPERS
5th International Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility
-The Future of CSR-
October 4-6, 2012
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany
www.csr-hu-berlin.org
We cordially invite submissions of individual papers and panels of papers for the 5th International Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility, to be held on October 4-6, 2012, at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany.
Submission deadline ended on May 31, 2012
The debate on the role and impact of CSR on corporate, manager and stakeholder behavior and practice continues to rage. There are now many standards, many types of certification and monitoring programs, many accrediting agencies, numerous conferences generated by the stakeholder groups and associations, and many entities able to put their expectations about corporate behaviors and practices in front of corporations. The result of this proliferation is a degree of confusion and the need for consolidation.
Furthermore, the growing economic and political importance of emerging market countries and corporations – that in many cases have ideologies, cultures, and economic traditions different from those that dominated the last two centuries – suggests that the Western model of CSR that dominates academic, media and corporate debate may not be the most appropriate one.
What are the implications of these dynamics for CSR? The conference will focus on the future of CSR by exploring whether more collaboration between the most relevant global entities can bring more consistency across different institutions.
Rather than looking at what is the potentiality of CSR the goal of the conference is to examine very specifically the science behind CSR and behavior and the actual managerial practices that work. In doing so, the conference invites submissions from sociologists, psychologists, philosophers, political scientists, legal scholars, economists, management scholars and others who want to bring the logic and empirical techniques of their science to bear on these issues. Given the theme of this year's conference we are keen to given pride of place to empirical and evidence based scholarship.
