22 – 24 September 2006

The Carnegie Bosch Institute solicits papers for a conference on International Corporate Responsibility to be held in Hong Kong, China. The conference is based on the theme that responsible business decisions today must take a global view that is sensitive to political, economic and cultural differences. The number of participants is kept small, to encourage lively discussion. Accepted papers are published in a proceedings book and presented (in summary form) by the authors in plenary sessions. A diversity of views and countries of origin is sought in the selection process.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

Each invited participate will receive an allowance to cover expenses, plus waiver of the registration fee. Colleagues who do not wish to give a talk are also invited to attend. A registration fee will be assessed to cover conference expenses. Details may be found at the web site below.

Financial Support:

Financial support for invited participants includes accommodation in the executive education facilities of HKUST for three nights 21-24 September, most meals during this period, waiver of conference registration fee, and very limited travel support.

Timetable:

15 April 2006 – Deadline for submission of 3-page extended abstract (in English). Abstracts should be submitted electronically if possible and otherwise in hard copy.
15 May 2006 – Notification of acceptance.
