  • 1.  Seventh Annual ICCSR Symposium - Call for Papers

    Posted 09-17-2009 22:34
    PLEASE EXCUSE NECESSARY CROSS-POSTINGS

    The Seventh Annual ICCSR Symposium is intended to
    discuss corporate innovation as it relates to
    poverty alleviation in local communities in developing countries.

    We are interested in conceptual, theoretical or
    empirical papers that present new research
    insights, ideas on business models, strategies
    and stakeholder engagement processes that a)
    respond to factors contributing to poverty; and
    b) advance sustainable community development in developing countries.

    We are inviting multidisciplinary papers which
    contribute knowledge on how companies are
    transforming value chain activities to benefit
    local communities. The papers can cover, but not
    limited to, the following areas:

    • Corporations and community (and, or social) enterprise development

    • Corporations and community asset-building

    • Business approaches towards community
    empowerment and capacity building

    • Social partnerships and Stakeholder engagement.

    Authors interested in submitting a paper for
    presentation at the symposium should submit an
    abstract of 1,000 words to
    <mailto:judy.muthuri@nottingham.ac.uk>judy.muthuri@nottingham.ac.uk
    by Friday, 11th December 2009.

    The ICCSR will also be preparing a special issue
    of Business & Society on this topic, to be edited
    by Prof. Jeremy Moon, Dr. Judy Muthuri and Dr
    Uwafiokun Idemudia. Papers presented at the
    symposium would be considered along with those
    responding to the journal’s own call for papers.
