“Corporate Sustainability, Strategic Management and the Stakeholder View of the Firm”

11 & 12 September 2006
SDA Bocconi School of Management
Milan, Italy

This year on 11-12 September the Colloquium is hosted by the SDA Bocconi School of Management and the Università Bocconi in collaboration with Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, ENI Corporate University, ISTUD, Politecnico di Milano and Sodalitas with the support of the European Commission Sixth Research Framework Programme (FP6). A special PhD conference will take place at the Università Cattolica on 13 September.

Building on the four successful previous Colloquia, the theme of this year’s conference focuses on “Corporate Sustainability, Strategic Management and the Stakeholder View of the Firm”. It will tackle questions faced by managers and policy-makers in attempting to achieve sustainable growth. In particular it will explore how corporate responsibility issues affect and impact business strategies and how corporate sustainability can contribute to the strategic management of stakeholder relationships.

The EABIS Annual Colloquium continues to attract high-level company
representatives, academics, policy-makers and other stakeholders. The 2006 Colloquium welcomes some internationally renowned thought leaders: Mario Monti, George Soros, Thomas Donaldson and David Vogel, among others.

This year’s event will again aim to stimulate debate and deepen knowledge on the role of business in society as well as provide a platform for people with different backgrounds to share ideas, initiatives and experiences and to strengthen relationships, visions and practices.

Demand was enormously high last year and we had to limit participation. We have identified members of the business, academic, policy-maker and stakeholder communities to whom we would like to offer early registration so as to ensure their input in shaping the changing role of business in society.
At the time of producing this programme, we had already allocated more than 150 of the 250 places.
