  • 1.  Call for Working Papers

    Posted 05-07-2006 13:00
    Dear SIM Colleagues:

    Are you looking for a place to receive great feedback on an early draft of a
    paper related to Business in Society? Consider sending your early work to
    the newly launched Interactive Working Paper Series, sponsored by the Center
    for Business as an Agent of World Benefit (B·A·W·B) at the Case Weatherhead
    School of Management now available at:
    http://worldbenefit.case.edu/research/paperseries/

    The B.A.W.B. Interactive Working Paper Series is an open-access forum
    dedicated to showcasing papers that explore the potential for business to
    act as an agent of social, environmental, and economic benefit. Topics of
    interest include perspectives on corporate social responsibility, social
    entrepreneurship, organizations and their relationship to the natural
    environment, strategies at the bottom of the pyramid, micro-enterprise,
    sustainability strategies, transformative management education, and
    innovative business partnerships.

    A distinctive feature of this forum is the ability for interaction between
    authors and readers. Our purpose is developmental: we want to develop a
    community of support to help authors prepare their work for future
    publication in traditional journals. To this end, both papers and reviews
    aim to be collaborative and transparent. All working papers are made
    available online for instant and free access. Authors are invited to publish
    a brief note in which they share their current thoughts and questions about
    the paper. An editorial review is posted with each work. Additional comments
    and reflections from readers are encouraged. The interactive design supports
    the development of papers for future publication, we also encourage the
    development of a community in which a free exchange of ideas promotes
    accelerated, deep thinking on a variety of topics related to the role of
    business in society.

    The next deadline for consideration is June 1 (for appearance on or about
    July 1), and every three months thereafter. For more information about
    submission guidelines, visit our web-site at:
    http://worldbenefit.case.edu/research/paperseries/ or contact one of the
    co-editors: David Bright (brightds@gmail.com) or Lindsey Godwin
    (lng2@case.edu).
