GT01_00 Business for Society General Track
The Business for Society General Track addresses how organizations interact with their social, political and natural environment. Consistently with the interdisciplinary nature of this field, the general track aims at cross-fertilisations with colleagues from economics, political sciences, sociology, humanities, who investigate the conditions under which organizations may contribute to sustainable development. Coherently with EURAM 2021 theme: “Reshaping capitalism for a sustainable world”, the track welcomes work that explores how demographic, political and technological trends challenge management scholars. The general track particularly welcomes contributions not explicitly covered by other B4S tracks.

T01_08 – Rethinking the capacities of social and collective enterprises for a more sustainable world
Social and collective enterprises (SCEs) (co-operatives, mutuals and associations/NPOs), play an important role in many countries economy around the world. Despite their economic significance, social impact and the role they play in the emergence of environmental sound fields and activities, SCEs management specificities are understudied. However, times of crisis throughout history, like today, are proof of their capacity to the aspiration of a social transformation in connection with current transitions. The objective of this track is to examine the way in which SCEs adapt, innovate or mutate in the face of the crises and transitions that we are experiencing.
