Sponsored by The Vincentian Universities in the United
States:

- Niagara University
- St. John’s University
The 12th
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:
- The traditional business disciplines: accounting, finance,
marketing, advertising and management
- Other related areas of interest: philosophy, theology,
psychology, sociology and language arts
In addition to the general theme for keynote and plenary
sessions, the conference will be organized in broad topical areas
based on proposed submissions. Formal academic sessions will be
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 both 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, including an abstract. We will also need information
to contact you (mailing address, email 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.
Special Feature
As a special feature of this year’s conference, on Thursday,
October 27, we will be highlighting ethical issues facing the
insurance industry and related research. To encourage fresh, new
research in this area, the School of Risk Management, Insurance and
Actuarial Science of The Peter J. Tobin College of Business, is
providing cash prizes of $3,000, $2,000, and $1,000 for the
best papers on insurance/ethics issues research. A special
committee to judge those papers is being established.
Continuing our custom, a Dean’s Award will be presented for the
best paper.
Following the conference, participants will be invited to submit
finalized papers for consideration for publication in The Journal
of Business Ethics. Submissions will be due January 13, 2006,
prepared according to The Journal of Business Ethics style
sheet.
