Sustainable Global Enterprise: Building Research on Caring and Daring MNEs

Co-sponsors: ONE/OMT/BPS/SIM/IM/CMS
Date: Friday, August 6; Time: 8:30-10:00 a.m.
Place: Richelieu, The Queen Elizabeth, 2010 Academy of Management Annual Meetings, Montreal
The primary objective of this PDW is to create a forward-looking platform for research on sustainable global enterprise. We believe that the current fragility and instability of economic, social and ecological environment surrounding businesses presents a need for management scholars to reflect on the meanings and implications of sustainable development on MNEs, and explore the role of MNEs in sustainable development governance. To this end, this PDW aims to engage leading thinkers in the field as well as many interested scholars (1) to generate a shared understanding of what we mean by a sustainable global enterprise, (2) to collectively reassess current business models of multinational enterprises in relation to the ideal notion of a "sustainable global enterprise", and (3) to explore and articulate a research agenda for studying sustainable global enterprise. We will host two panel discussions:
Panel discussion 1: Understanding the concept of Sustainable Global Enterprise
Panel discussion 2: Theoretical and methodological approaches to Sustainable Global Enterprise research
