RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES: CALLS FOR PAPERS AND CASES

Call for Submission: Society for Business Ethics Annual Meeting

We accept four types of submissions: scholarly papers, panels proposals, workshop proposals, and emerging scholar proposals. If you have questions or suggestions regarding the program please contact the Program Chair, Bryan Husted: program.chair@sbeonline.org Submit electronic copies of your paper or proposal, or worshop proposal at the following website: https://editorialexpress.com/sbe2013 Only electronic submissions submitted at this website will be considered.

1) Paper Submissions: Papers should be double-spaced and use 12-point Times New Roman (or similar) type, and should be no longer than 30 pages (double-spaced). The manuscript itself must be suitable for blind review (prepared without a title page or any author identifying information in the text or notes). Authors should prepare a separate title page listing full contact information for all authors. The manuscript body and title page should be submitted as two separate documents. The first page of the manuscript should include the title and an abstract (abstracts must not exceed 150 words). Cover pages must also include the three-letter code based on the categories listed below.
 
2) Panel Submissions : These are thematically organized sessions intended to advance theoretical understanding, analyze the implications of recent business activity or public policy developments, or provide pedgogical guidance. Submissions should be in the range of three to six pages and should identify the chair and all proposed participants by name, address, phone number, and email address. Panel proposals should include a title, a clear statement indicating the rationale for the panel, the format to be used, and the contribution of each panelist.
 
3) Workshop Submissions: Workshops are interactive sessions where the attendees are participants and typically focus on scholarly development or pedagogy, although other types of submissions are welcome. Proposals should include a title and a clear statement indicating the rationale for the workshop, why your research and/or expertise qualify you to give this workshop, and how you would run the workshop. There should be no more than three workshop leaders.
 
4) Emerging Scholars Submissions : Ph.D. candidates may submit an abstract of between 750 and 1,000 words describing a research project in business ethics or related domains. Abstracts should include a short list of relevant citations and include a cover page with full contact information and affiliation. In addition to being able to present their ideas in a paper session, students whose papers are accepted will be invited to attend a half-day workshop with senior SBE mentors. Although a Ph.D. student may be an Emerging Scholar more than once, priority is given to those who have not previously been accepted into the SBE conference program as an Emerging Scholar.
 
Multiple submissions: In an effort to be more inclusive, and facilitate the participation of as many scholars as possible in the conference, individuals submitting paper proposals will be limited to one paper submission or one emerging scholar submission, but not both. (However, a PhD candidate who has submitted an abstract as an emerging scholar may be a co-author with another established scholar as lead author.) Scholars may also be included in up to two panel or workshop submissions for a total of three submissions. These rules may be relaxed space permitting on the program, and this will not prevent any program participant from also serving as a session chair appointed by the Program Committee.
 
To facilitate matching submissions with reviewers, paper submissions should also include a three-letter code according to the following (list at least one number from Theoretical Perspectives, Application Contexts, and Methodologies (e.g., T-6; A-4; M-1)). Submissions will be considered that do not "fit" any of these categories.

Timo Busch (tobusch@ethz@ch), Department of Management, Economics, and technology, ETJ, Zurich, Switzerland

Marc Orlitsky (moo3@psu.edu), The Pennsylvania State University-Altoona, Altoona, Pennsylvania, USA

To what extent and how can capitalist structures and processes foster, encourage, or facilitate business environmental responsibility? This question is a vigorously debated issue with a long history, particularly given the increasing influence of, and research on, sustainable investment. Sustainable investment is used as a generic term to describe investment strategies centered on long-term environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) criteria; thus seeking to contribute to sustainable development by integrating investors' financial objectives with restrictions on ecological and social issues or concerns (Eurosif, 2011; Hoffmann, Scherhorn, & Busch, 2004; Juravle & lewis, 2009; WEF, 2011).

To view the many research questions that this special issue may (but is not limited to) address, please contact Lisa Nelson (lnelson@sju.edu).

Paper deadline: October 15, 2012

Manuscripts must be submitted electronically to Timo Busch (tobusch@ethz@ch). The submission should consist of two separate Word documents:

1.  a manuscript without title page and without author identification information of any kind and containing an abstract (about 100-159 words) and keywords (3/5)

2. a title page with full author contact information
