CR3 Conference: The Power of Responsibility

April 8-9th, 2011, at Hanken School of Economics, Helsinki, Finland

The CR3 conference is a cooperation between three business schools; 
Audencia Nantes School of Management (France), Hanken School of 
Economics in Helsinki (Finland) and ISAE/FGV in Curitiba (Brazil). The 
first CR3 conference will take place at Hanken School of Economics in 
Helsinki, Finland on April 8th and 9th, 2011. Its theme is ‘the power of 
responsibility’. The deadline for abstracts submissions is November 15th 
2010.

The Power of Responsibility

The concepts of Corporate Responsibility (CR) and Global Responsibility 
(GR) are reshaping the ways we think about business and society. From 
global governance initiatives such as the UN Global Compact to local 
efforts of greening offices, actions are taken in many areas to mobilize 
organizations and individuals through the notion of responsibility in 
order to work towards a more sustainable world. While much of the 
groundwork on popularizing CSR/CR/GR has been prescriptive, focused on 
'selling' Responsibility as a powerful principle that should be adopted 
by all institutional actors and should lead the actions of managers and 
employees, there is no doubt that CR has also become globally 
influential as a real world phenomenon. This suggests that the academic 
study of CR should now be ready for more descriptive accounts of both 1) 
powerful CR actions that have contributed to make a positive difference 
and 2) aspects of CR practice that are problematic, including in terms 
of power relations and power effects. For this conference, we thus 
encourage descriptive studies of both the positive and negative sides of 
power.

Taking an explicit power perspective on CR can lead our discussions in 
different directions. A few examples follow, but this list is far from 
comprehensive. First, such a power perspective may be used to study 
power relations within supply chains, for instance by showing how some 
powerful corporations have been successful in applying demanding codes 
of conduct in their entire supply chain, or by examining the potential 
detrimental effects of bargaining power imbalances between small 
suppliers and big companies. Second, it could be thought of in terms of 
how stakeholder engagement may lead to an empowerment of traditionally 
marginalized groups, or how stakeholder co-optation may aim to 
neutralize progressive critique, or how stakeholder exclusion may render 
certain groups powerless. Third, it may entail studying how the 
'responsibilization' of the different actors works as a global project 
of liberal governance, through a 'governmentality' lens: both the 
productive and problematic aspects of power could be discussed. Fourth, 
it may be expressed through a critique of CR discourse which tends to 
downplay power dimensions through its 'win-win' bias and its oxymoronic 
articulations: here too, it is important to make explicit 'the power of 
responsibility'.

We conceive of this conference as a meeting space where it is possible 
to exchange scholarly views from different geographical places, 
disciplinary locations, and ideological positions. We welcome normative, 
descriptive and critical contributions, both conceptual and empirical, 
specifically aimed at one of eight streams:

1. Articulating the political role of business through CR: Paradigm 
shift or business as usual?
2. Responsible Management Education: Beyond complacency and contestation
3. Business-NGO relations: Power, challenges and opportunities
4. CR and the Base of the Pyramid: Empowering the poor while exploiting 
new markets?
5. CR in the Supply Chain
6. Differences within and/or outside organisations: Diversity as 
Corporate Responsibility
7. Great expectations: Stakeholder Engagement for Global Responsibility
8. Social Responsibility Investors: How Do They Use Their Power? How Can 
Corporations Respond to SRI Power?

Confirmed keynote speaker: Professor Guido Palazzo, "The multinational 
corporation as a political actor"

Guido Palazzo is Professor of Business Ethics at HEC, University of 
Lausanne and a visiting Fellow at the Universities of Oxford and 
Nottingham. He has two main research interests, a) globalization and 
corporate responsibility and b) ethical and unethical decision making in 
corporations. His work is published in the Academy of Management Review, 
the Journal of Management Studies, the Business Ethics Quarterly and the 
Journal of Business Ethics. He is associate editor of the Business 
Ethics Quarterly and the European Management Review. In 2008 he won the 
Max-Weber Award for Business Ethics of the German Industry Association. 
Guido Palazzo works with numerous multinational corporations and NGOs in 
the field of Corporate Social Responsibility.
