“The role and impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and/or Corporate Governance (CG) in International Finance”
Following on the inaugural symposium held in Poznan in 2018, proposals are now sought for the above symposium, to be held in collaboration with Cork University School of Business, on 2 September 2019.
Focus
Proposals are sought which apply the tools of meta-analysis, scientometrics, or systematic reviews to the financial aspects of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and/or Corporate Governance (CG). Papers presented must have an explicit inter, trans, or cross-national approach and focus on the financial, economic or capital market aspects of same. Ideas that examine within-firm organizational, third-sector or other determinants would not readily fit the scope intended. We also welcome proposals suggesting new approaches and techniques in Meta-Analysis, scientometrics or systemic reviews. Proposals should be submitted by 15 March 2019, and successful proposals will be notified by 1 April. Proposals must indicate the track at which the proposal is aimed.
