A workshop organized by Bayes Business School & IESEG School of Management
Purpose of the workshop
Management studies are showing increasing interest in how governments influence corporate responsibilities and private governance and how both public and private entities interact in shaping expected sustainability outcomes.
Leveraging this, ETHOS, the Centre for Responsible Enterprise at Bayes Business School, and IESEG School of Management are organising a one-day workshop on the government of CSR to explore the redefinition of divisions of responsibility between the public and private actors.
This workshop brings together leading scholars working on these issues to stimulate academic debates, while it will provide an opportunity for young scholars to develop their manuscripts. Scholars interested in submitting a manuscript for the workshop can find instructions in the call for papers below.
Participants to the workshop are welcomed with and without manuscript submission.
The workshop will include a keynote, two panel discussions, and paper development roundtables.
Speakers
Our keynote speaker, Professor David Ciepley, is a political scientist and legal scholar from University of Denver.
Confirmed panellists and facilitators include:
- Bobby Banerjee (Bayes Business School)
- Itziar Castello (Bayes Business School)
- Frank de Bakker (IESEG)
- Jeremy Moon (CBS)
- Kevin Levillain (Mines Paris-Tech)
- Judith Schrempf-Stirling (U Geneva).
Call for Papers
Please send your abstract (up to 1000 words) by 15 of December 2022.
Registration for the workshop is required by 16 January 2023. It is possible to attend the workshop without submitting a paper. The registration for the workshop is free.
The event will be launching a network of people working on these topics. This community building will be continued at the EGOS 2023 subtheme Governing for Sustainability: Exploring How Public and Private Forms of Governance Interact.
The event will also build the basis to discuss a possible special issue about the government of CSR in a management or CSR journal.
