Information about this Conference and Special Issue (pdf)
The scholarship of Tom Donaldson has helped set the agenda and boundaries of the field of business ethics. Donaldson has written about an extraordinary range of topics over the last thirty years, including: normative theories of the purpose of the corporation such as social contract theory and stakeholder theory (e.g., Donaldson, 1982; Donaldson and Dunfee, 1999; Donaldson, 1999; Donaldson, 2011); responsibility in the financial services industry (e.g., Donaldson, 2008); epistemology in economic interpretations of business (e.g., Donaldson, 2012); responsibilities of firms operating across international borders (e.g., Donaldson, 1989; Donaldson, 1994); and social mores, social contracts, and economic life (e.g., Donaldson, 2001; Donaldson, 2010). His writing in each of these areas inspires business ethics scholars, not only because of the importance of his ideas, but also because he combines an analytic rigor with knowledge of global markets and firms.
In appreciation of Donaldson's contributions to the field of business ethics, we solicit papers for a Festschrift to appear in Business Ethics Quarterly. Papers may challenge and dispute Donaldson, develop and extend his arguments, or take themes from his work in wholly new directions. Both empirical and normative submissions are welcome.
Authors may elect to submit papers to a conference to be held at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, honoring Donaldson to be held in October 17-18, 2014. To be considered for participation in the conference, please submit an 800-1000 word abstract of your paper no later than January15, 2014 to tomascol [@] wharton.upenn.edu. Abstracts must include the following information: Title; statement of the problems or issues to be considered; statement of thesis and summary of argument; and an overview of the relevant literature. Authors' names, addresses, telephone numbers, affiliations, e-mail addresses, and biographies (200 words maximum) must be included on a separate page. This information should not be included in the word count. A full version of the paper should be submitted by August 15, 2014.
Papers for the special issue of BEQ must be submitted by January 15, 2015 - after the conference - via the BEQ online submission system.
