As usual the
conference is intended to be interdisciplinary and welcomes contributions from
anyone who has a perspective on this important issue. This time we will be
focusing on one of the most urgent issues of the present. So at this conference
there will be a focus on the theme of
Sustainability is a central concern of businesses, governments and
individuals at the present time. It is often related to environmental
sustainability and the imminent arrival of Hubbert’s Peak coupled with
evidence of climate change and resource depletion has fostered this view.
Brundtland of course recognised the three pillars of economic, social and
environmental as all integral to any concept of sustainable development. This is
all intimately connected to CSR. We therefore
consider that it is timely to look in greater detail at this issue, although
papers addressing all other areas of CSR are welcome. Thus papers are welcome on
any topic related to this broad theme and suggested topics for papers include:
Sustainable

preference will be given to full papers, abstracts of 200-500 words will also be
considered. All papers and abstracts should be sent by 10th January
2011 by
email to David
Crowther.
No more than 2 papers will be accepted from any author.
We will publish proceedings and full details concerning other
publishing opportunities for the papers presented at the conference will be
provided during the conference.
This year we will again be running a doctoral colloquium on one day
of the conference. The aim will be to give detailed feedback to doctoral
researchers concerning their papers. Feedback will be specific to each person
and their research, and will be given by an experienced academic in the field.
The colloquium will be an integral part of the conference and all delegates will
be expected to participate fully in the conference but the sessions will give
extra time to presenters – to allow for discussion and formal feedback. This
colloquium will be organised by Professor Dr Güler Aras and abstracts of
200-500 words should be sent by 31st December 2010 by email to Guler
Aras. In order to allow detailed feedback full papers will be required in
advance of the conference – full details will be given to participants upon
acceptance.
