The Susilo Institute for Ethics in the Global Economy 3rd Annual Symposium will take place in Beijing, China, hosted by School of Economics and Management, Tsinghua University from June 8-10, 2018. We invite both academics and practitioners from throughout China and the world who seek to explore and exchange ideas surrounding the role of ethics in a changing global economy. It will continue the tradition begun at the inaugural symposium in May 2016 in Surabaya, Indonesia, which featured foremost business, academic, and political leaders reflecting on “Global Business Ethics – East Meets West.”
The theme of the 3rd Tsinghua-based Symposium is “Sustainability under Change -- Challenges and Opportunities for Practitioners and Academics”. Over the past decades, China has made remarkable achievements in both economic and social developments and delivered successfully on her commitments to the UN Millennium Development Goals. At present, China has set forth her vision for international and regional cooperation, shared benefits, and sustainable development through initiating the Belt and Road Initiative (B&R), signing the UN SDGs and Paris Agreement, upgrading its industrial and educational landscapes, encouraging mass entrepreneurship and innovation, etc. Looking into the future, China is becoming an inspiration to other countries as an indispensable participant and a leading example.
We enthusiastically invite you to submit an abstract (in Chinese or English) of your original and unpublished research paper to echo with the symposium theme. In particular, we welcome submissions focusing on the following areas:
· What are the challenges and opportunities for sustainability in the changing global economy, e.g., new developments in business models, technologies, (artificial intelligence, internet of things, bigdata, etc.)?
· New practices in the field on managing sustainability (e.g., organization level, country level, etc.)
· How do organizations align different stakeholders’ interests with their business philosophy to achieve sustainability?
· What’s new in China and what can China offer in the field of sustainability?
Studies on sustainability, global ethics, and corporate responsibilities in general are also welcome.
