22nd Annual International Vincentian Business Ethics Conference (IVBEC)
St. John's University, New York
22nd October - 24th October 2015
New York Marriott Downtown, NYC
****PAPER ABSTRACTS/PROPOSALS DUE APRIL 15th****
St. John's University, New York will host the International Vincentian Business Ethics Conference in 2015. This conference attracts leading academics to examine, discuss and develop the role of Business Ethics in economic, political, corporate and social life today. The Call for Papers is attached, and we invite you to visit our website for more conference details at: www.ivbec.org
The theme of the IVBEC 2015 conference, UN Global Compact and UN PRME: What we Practice and What We Teach in Business Ethics, addresses topics in all areas of business and professional ethics. Keynote addresses by UN and business leaders, panel sessions, academic paper sessions and paper development workshops will be used to spur discussion amongst conference participants on ethics and ethical decision making in business.
As the United Nations works toward a September 2015 deadline to establish post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals, we focus the theme of the conference on how business education and business practices align to foster responsible management of organizations in a sustainable future. We encourage proposals that relate to the intersection of Business Ethics and the role that the UN Global Compact and the UN Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) play in sustainable and inclusive development within a global context.
We hope that this opportunity to bring together scholars and practitioners in a forum for discussion about the critical business ethics challenges we all face will motivate collaboration between the education and business sectors needed to model responsible leadership with positive social impact.
