CALL FOR PAPERS

A Call for Papers for the Eight Annual ICCSR Symposium on Corporate Social Responsibility in China to be held at the University of Nottingham, Ningbo Campus, China on 11^th & 12^th July 2011.

We invite both theoretical and practice-oriented papers to explore various perspectives on the emergence of CSR in China.  We especially invite papers that develop fresh theoretical perspectives, aim to apply recently developed conceptual frameworks or present empirical evidence in areas that are relatively underexplored in China.

Examples include:

·  CSR and Regulation;

·  The role of civil society in shaping CSR in China;

·  The relationship between philanthropy, corporate social responsibility and firm performance in China;

·  The relation between CSR, human resources management and organisational commitment in Chinese firms;

·  The emergence of socially responsible investment in China;

·  Social entrepreneurship, microfinance and CSR in China;

·  Corporate responses to climate change in Chinese firms,

·  Sustainability, CSR reporting and CSR standards in China

·  CSR practices in Chinese supplier firms

·  The nature of stakeholder engagement in CSR of firms in China and of Chinese firms expanding abroad

·  Comparative perspectives looking at CSR and sustainability strategies in different business groups or in different Asian countries and beyond.

In addition we invite papers for two specific tracks that will be organised in the conference:

·  CSR from the Perspective of ASEAN States

·  Environmental Management Accounting and Integrated Reporting

Authors interested in submitting a paper for presentation at the symposium should submit an abstract of 500 words to Peter.Hofman@nottingham.edu.cn by

Friday, 8^th April 2011.

The ICCSR will also be preparing a special issue for a journal on Corporate Social Responsibility in China, to be edited by Prof. Jeremy Moon, Dr. Peter Hofman and other(s). Papers presented at the symposium would be considered along with those responding to the journal's own call for papers
