Business and Society 360
Call for Book Chapter Abstracts
on Social Entrepreneurship
Extended deadline for chapter abstracts is June 1, 2020.
Due to life changes and delays from the current Covid-19 crisis, the editors of BAS 360 and Emerald Publishing have agreed to extend deadlines for submissions to Volume 5 on Social Entrepreneurship.
What is "Business and Society 360"?
Business and Society 360 Book Series, published by Emerald and sponsored by the International Association for Business and Society, is an annual book series featuring a comprehensive discussion and review of the current "state" of the research and theoretical developments in a specific BAS area – a 360-degree look at a selected topic. A "360-degree examination" of a research area involves an all around assessment using multiple field experts to supply an analysis and review for the purpose of achieving a full understanding of a topic. Thus, each volume is a combination of invited and editorial reviewed chapters providing an overview of past work and highlighting cutting-edge research on the selected topic.
Our first volume was published in 2017 on "Stakeholder Management". Volume 2 focused on "Corporate Social Responsibility" in 2018. The third volume on "Business Ethics" was published in 2019. Volume 4 on "Sustainability" will be in print in May 2020.
Co-Editors:
- Dr. David Wasieleski, Professor of Business Ethics and Management, and
- Dr. James Weber, Professor of Business Ethics and Management, Palumbo Donahue School of Business, Duquesne University
2020 Call for Chapter Abstracts
This call for book chapters focuses on addressing cutting edge research in the social entrepreneurship area (broadly defined) that carries the potential to advance the theories within this domain forward. Authors are invited to submit a short abstract summarizing the content and approach of the proposed book chapter. Submissions should reflect "new" original research in the business ethics realm. We are open to theoretical or empirical pieces, a review of the literature, and chapters recommending suggestions for future research in the area as well.
Social entrepreneurship is a sub-field of business and society that has increased in its influence in the Academy. This growing area of scholarship involves addressing social, cultural and environmental issues through innovative and entrepreneurial ventures. This includes the creation of ideas, and their funding and implementation. It focuses on positive social change through the identification of venture opportunities and the realization of entrepreneurial principles and processes.
Abstracts will be peer-reviewed by the editorial team. Invitations to write an entire chapter will be sent based on the reviews.
Please note the revised publication timetable:
