Exploring Contested Paradigms in Corporate Social Responsibility: Debunking Myths and Shaping Future Directions
This event, titled “When Worlds Collide,” focuses on contested paradigms of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). We aim to debunk misconceptions surrounding CSR while addressing critical issues impacting businesses and society in the 21st century. By engaging academic research with practical implications, we seek to shape the research agenda with relevance and rigor. Topics such as taxation, environmental crises, human rights, philanthropy, and social justice will be explored. Join us in shaping corporate strategies informed by robust theory and practice.
