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 and humanities, to investigate how organizations may actually contribute to sustainable development. In line with the EURAM 2023 theme: “Transforming Business for Good”, the track welcomes contributions aimed at providing theoretical and practical answers to the following question: How, why and under what conditions can business act for society?. The General Track particularly welcomes topics not explicitly covered by other B4S tracks.

ST01_01/ST02_01 – Rethinking the Responsible Corporation: Bridging Management, Law & Purpose (B4S & CoGo SIGs)

(co-sponsored by Business for Society SIG-01 and Corporate Governance SIG-02)

With this track, we develop new perspectives on the responsible corporation. We focus both on corporate governance and on institutional or legal frameworks that enable corporations to better manage sustainability-related matters and responsible innovation. We encourage contributions that further our understanding of responsible corporations from various angles: theoretical or comparative approaches to corporate governance; recent institutional developments in sustainable finance or in corporate law, such as purpose-driven corporations; alternative and emerging forms of business organizations; and historical as well as recent cases like Danone and Unilever.

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):

Goal 4: Quality education, Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth, Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, Goal 10: Reducing inequalities, Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production

ST01_02 – Performance measurement and management for sustainability

Measuring sustainability performance plays a central role in implementing the sustainability strategy and developing relationships with stakeholders. It implies to implement practices and mechanisms to measure, represent, report, disclose and communicate firm’s performance, embracing environmental, social and economic aspects. We aim to attract papers which critically review and advance theory, methodology and practice on: sustainability and environmental reporting, social balance sheet, integrated reporting (IR), non financial disclosure, quality and assurance of sustainability disclosure and IR, the impact of institutional context (i.e. EU) and other drivers, management control and performance measurement for sustainability, the role of CFO and the controller.

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):

Goal 3: Good health and well-being for people, Goal 5: Gender equality, Goal 6: Clean water and sanitation, Goal 7: Affordable and clean energy, Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth, Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, Goal 10: Reducing inequalities, Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production, Goal 13: Climate action, Goal 17: Partnerships for the goals

ST01_03 – Finance and Economy for Society: Inclusion, Empowerment and Sustainability

The growing pace of financialisation of the past four decades has led to the acceleration of commodification, stirring the debate in the academia on the purpose and mission of finance for the society and economy. The unfettered financialisation and commodification of the global economy has been at the origin of financial crises and the degradation of the socio-ecological ecosystem. Building on the conference theme ‘Transforming Business for Good’, the track invites conceptual and empirical contributions that highlight the transformative power of ‘Finance for Good’ and its development and use as a vehicle to enhance social impact and transformation.

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):

Goal 1: No poverty, Goal 3: Good health and well-being for people, Goal 4: Quality education, Goal 7: Affordable and clean energy, Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth, Goal 10: Reducing inequalities, Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production, Goal 13: Climate action, Goal 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions

T01_ 04 – Collective Action for Transformative Movements: Projects, Ecosystems, Civil Society, and Public Policies

This topic inquiries about how collective action promotes transformative movements. Transformative movements can arise from communities, projects, social movements, organizations, and governments. They happen in contexts that can be understood like ecosystems being boosted by collective action. Stakeholders’ engagement, entrepreneurship, and collaboration among different sectors tend to result in innovation and social change. Transformative movements are geared to social and environmental problem-solving within ecosystems that can develop in a sustainable way.  We are interested in multidisciplinary studies aimed at understanding, describing, or analyzing any level of collective action for transformative movements. Case studies are most welcome.

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):

Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth, Goal 10: Reducing inequalities, Goal 13: Climate action

T01_ 07 – Re-Sourcing Management? Arts, Philosophy & Media as Sources of Organizational Knowledge

We welcome contributions that investigate the sources of organizational knowledge through empirical research or theoretical accounts. In our understanding, those sources have to be found in ancient disciplines and practices, till arriving at the very archetypes of our social cohabitation and our sense-making of the world: the thought that becomes philosophy, the matter that becomes art, the relation that becomes medium. While arts and media have long been considered as objects of management knowledge and business practices, we invite scholars to consider them also as sources from which management could learn, looking “Now” at the past to inspire the future.

T01_ 08 – Social, climate and environmental justice: The transformative role of organisations and supply chains

We aim to reinvigorate the study of sustainability in organisations and supply chain management through the adoption of justice lenses. We welcome scholars from all fields whose work contributes to transformative organisational and supply chain practices consistent with the principles of justice, especially those engaged in critical and engaged scholarship (Touboulic, McCarthy and Matthews, 2020). We also encourage decolonized perspectives that question the sustainability solutions provided by Northern and ‘developed’ countries and provide alternative solutions grounded in different perspectives from the Global South and East.

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):

Goal 10: Reducing inequalities, Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production, Goal 13: Climate action, Goal 14: Life below water, Goal 15: Life on land, Goal 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions, Goal 17: Partnerships for the goals

T01_ 09 – Social Innovation, impact culture and the Next Generation Economy

Social innovations are urgently needed as we confront complex social problems. As these social problems feature substantial interdependencies among multiple systems and actors, developing and implementing innovative solutions involve the re-negotiating of settled institutions or the building of new ones (Wijk et al., 2018). The never-ending fascination shown by scholars and practitioners for social innovation might depend on the relation between the “crisis society” (Moralli, Allegrini, 2020) and the need for a radical rethinking of the way in which capitalism has been conceived in the last decades (Cuz et al., 2017).
