Are you interested in investigating MNEs' role in global sustainable development governance?
If yes, then please join
Stu Hart, Ans Kolk, Sanjay Sharma and Sandra Waddock
in a stimulating PDW on
Sustainable Global Enterprise: Building Research on Caring and Daring MNEs
PDW Co-sponsors: ONE/OMT/BPS/SIM/IM/CMS
Date: Friday, August 6; Time: 8:30-10:00 a.m.
Place: Academy of Management Conference, 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.
Please email Aarti Sharma (sharma@usf.edu) and Min-Dong Paul Lee (mpl@usf.edu) with one or two questions (each of 50 words or less) on the topic by July 15. We will share your questions, in advance, with the panelists and facilitate the PDW accordingly. Please join us all in this stimulating dialogue on Sustainable Global Enterprise in Montreal!
