OVERVIEW:
The current financial crisis has highlighted deep flaws in
past approaches to the governance of the firm and of
economic systems. This year's Colloquium will therefore
focus on the governance of the firm, in the context of new
global governance challenges. We have particular interest
in contributions addressing the questions how the role of
business in society is likely to change and to what extent
governance mechanisms can foster corporate responsibility
at the global, company and individual levels.
We are seeking contributions that present new research
insights and ideas, business responses, and forward-looking
thought leadership. EABIS and IESE value multidisciplinary
and interdisciplinary inputs from Corporate Governance,
Public Affairs, Organisational Behaviour, HRM, Operations
Management, Value Creation, Strategic Management,
Accounting, Finance, and Entrepreneurship, International
Relations and Global Governance, Political Economy.
FURTHER INFORMATION:
The Colloquium will bring together over 300 senior
academics, executives, policy thinkers and policy makers,
plus international and non-governmental representatives.
