**** CfP EURAM Reykjavik, 19-23 June 2018 **** * Apologies for cross-posting * Call for papers for track ST 01_02 / ST 02_04 Rethinking the Form, Governance & Legal Constitution of Corporations. Theoretical Issues & Social Stakes SIG 01: Business for Society (B4S) & SIG 02: Corporate Governance (CoGo) (co-sponsorship) Convenors: Blanche Segrestin (Mines ParisTech) and Jeroen Veldman (Cass Business School) Full sub-theme description: see http://euramonline.org/programme2018/strategic-interest-groups/sig-01-business-for-society-b4s-2.html Short description: In the field of management research, there is a growing awareness of both the need and the opportunities to rethink business corporations in line with social and sustainability issues. Management scholars increasingly question the capacity of business companies, within existing laws and governance standards, to take into account the interests of their stakeholders and to contribute to the general welfare. Simultaneously, they explore how new business forms (e.g. hybrid organizations, shareholder engagement, purpose-driven companies) can pave the way for a renewal of corporate (governance) models. This track will encourage research work that examines our current theories of the corporation, extends our knowledge on alternative and emergent forms of business companies, and suggests new foundations for governance for the public interest. Deadline: Submission of papers open now until January 10, 2018.
