Business Ethics: Back to Basics
Sponsored by The Vincentian Universities in the United
States
- DePaul University
- Niagara University
- St. John’s University
The annual international conference promoting business ethics
encourages a very broad-based approach to the discussion of ethical
theory and practice and seeks contributions to that discussion from
business and academic professionals who are promoting business
ethics through:
- traditional business disciplines of accounting, finance,
marketing, advertising, management, risk management, actuarial
science
- related areas of interest: philosophy, theology, psychology,
sociology and language arts
In addition to the general theme for keynote and plenary
sessions, the conference is organized in broad topical areas based
on proposed submissions. Formal academic sessions are interspersed
with panel discussions, interactive conversations, keynote
addresses and debates for dynamic participation among the
conference attendees.
This is an opportunity for both contribution and growth
throughout the formal and informal sessions. We anticipate
critical discussion within this congenial conference
setting.
Format for Proposals
We are looking for business professionals and academics who have an
interest in business ethics (in its broadest and widest sense) to
submit formal proposals. Final proposals will be selected through a
blind referee process.
We require only a one page proposal, or an abstract. We will
also need information to contact you (mailing address, e-mail
address, phone and fax numbers). We invite proposals that:
- reflect timely, cutting edge insight
- represent collaboration between academic professionals and
business professionals (including practical case studies)
Since we will be facilitating the publication of select
conference manuscripts, we expect the highest research quality
and/or greatest business application from all papers.
E-mail proposals before May 15, 2008, to:
