    Conference Overview
    The purpose of this annual conference is to bring together active and leading scholars worldwide to share their research on important emerging concepts, themes and methodologies on the topic of global sustainability. We hope that, by forming this leading community of global sustainability researchers, the conference will strengthen international business scholarship in sustainability-related areas; foster thought-provoking interdisciplinary discussions; engage dialogues between scholars and society including practitioners, and educators; and contribute frontier insights to addressing global sustainability challenges.
    Research themes of the conference include, but are not limited to:
    •     Characteristics of innovations to tackle global sustainability challenges
    •     Measurements of global sustainability performance and progress
    •     Micro-foundations of corporate global sustainability strategy
    •     The role of digital technologies in global sustainability innovations
    •     The role of civil society organizations in global sustainability innovations
    •     The role of governments in global sustainability innovations
    •     The relationship between (de)globalization and corporate global sustainability strategy
    •     Diffusion of sustainability in global value chains
    •     Cross-country comparative studies in sustainability practices
    •     Cross-disciplinary research insights on global sustainability innovations
    •     Theory and method challenges in conducting global sustainability research
    In addition to prominent scholars of global sustainability research, the conference will invite business executives to share their experiences, insights, and challenges in tackling global sustainability matters, via panels/keynotes. The conference will also offer a workshop on global sustainability pedagogy to meet the rapidly growing demand for higher education to incorporate relevant topics into university curriculum design.
    For the accepted proposals, we will cover the hotel costs for two nights for one person per proposal. More co-authors per team are welcome to join, but they will need to cover their own hotel expenses. One Conference Best Paper Award and one Conference Best Student Paper Award will be selected and presented during the conference.
