	Call for Papers 3rd Academic Conference on Social Responsibility University of Washington Tacoma July 12-13, 2012 Conference Theme: Sustainability-Issues and Strategies The Center for Leadership and Social Responsibility at the Milgard School of Business, University of Washington Tacoma is pleased to announce its third annual research conference to be held July 12-13, 2012 in Tacoma, Washington, USA. This conference has attracted leading academics from more than ten countries. The growing body of research on sustainability raises new questions for scholars that span across disciplines. Much has been learned, yet our knowledge is fragmented by an array of definitions, theories, approaches and conclusions that remain unconnected. This conference aims to broaden and advance the discourse on sustainability connecting scholars with diverse backgrounds and approaches. Sustainability describes an organization’s capacity for long term survival in a web of economic, social, and environmental systems. Many businesses have embraced sustainability initiatives or incorporated sustainability into their social responsibility or citizenship efforts. As global events remind us of the fragility of both natural and man-made systems, new insights are needed into the processes and efficacy of sustainability efforts by business. How do businesses recognize and respond to sustainability issues? What happens when they fail to recognize sustainability issues? How do they influence or partner with stakeholders such as customers, employees, suppliers, activists, governments, etc. around sustainability? What results have businesses achieved and how are they measured and communicated? What effects do sustainability efforts have on businesses and on their relationships with investors, regulators, customers, business partners and employees? We invite submissions of full papers and research briefs that address these and related questions. Scholars from disciplines including accounting, finance, economics, management, marketing and related fields are invited to share their research perspectives and results. We also encourage doctoral students to submit their research for this conference. The deadline for submissions is February 21, 2012. We look forward to welcoming you to the UW Tacoma campus in July.
