Five-day doctoral seminar
Monday, November 1 through Friday, November 5, 2004
Purpose
CSR is a broad and encompassing phenomenon
drawing much attention from a variety of disciplines. This doctoral
seminar focuses on the topic of corporate social responsibility with a
particular emphasis on organisational and managerial strategies,
implications and complexities of companies as they engage in CSR
initiatives. Emphasis is given to present and discuss the key arguments
for CSR, stakeholder theory, CSR inside the organisation (leadership),
communication of CSR and critical approaches to CSR.
We emphasize an approach that invites “state of
the art research” but also invites “state of the practice” into
dialogue, as CSR is an emerging field driven by practice. As such a
continued dialogue between research and practice is central to this PhD
seminar. We invite doctoral students from different nationalities and
theoretical and methodological traditions to discuss, argue and share
ideas with European and US researchers and managers.
