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 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.

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.
