CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
Corporate Responsibility Research Conference 2012
Beyond the limits - below potential
Society must stay within given limits of environmental and social boundaries to
be sustainable. There is a growing realisation that society has passed these
limits and that businesses are responsible for a large share of the burden that
is inflicted on society. Critics and optimists point to the potential that
businesses can and should contribute to solving these problems. There is a
growing realisation that society will continue living beyond its limits as long
as businesses stay below their problem solving potential.
New and better tools are as much required as are analyses why businesses do not
tap their full potential for contributing to a more sustainable society.
Competition between market actors for better solutions is needed as much as
cooperation with competitors and stakeholders. The ease of simple solutions is
as necessary as the breadth of answers to complex challenges.
The tradition of the CRRC is to focus on the participants and the debate. We
aim to create an environment that is welcoming and friendly yet challenges the
existing knowledge base and drives the debate around corporate responsibility
forward. We are keen to invite a wide variety of participants from across
disciplinary backgrounds and from a variety of academic departments.
CRRC is the ideal place to test new ideas and to experiment with new formats.
Therefore we also welcome suggestions for special workshop streams and
innovative ideas.
Topics include but are not limited to:
Topics
Sustainability and supply chain
Education for sustainable development
Corporations and climate change
Sustainability and the retail sector
