Call for Book Proposals (apologies for cross postings)

Series Editor: Harry Van Buren, University of New Mexico hjvb3@unm.edu

Publisher: John Stuart, Emerald Books jstuart@emeraldinsight.com

Emerald Books is pleased to announce a general and ongoing call for proposals for a new Business, Management and Economics book series, Research and Practice in Business and Society. In this series, Emerald Books seeks to publish innovative titles that address the complex and ever-changing intersections between business and society. Titles published in this series should have appeal to three audiences: academic researchers, students and practicing managers. A key rationale for the series is that there is a need for ongoing conversation between the world of business and society scholarship and the world of management practice. Ideally, titles published in the series would be equally at home in university bookstores, libraries and course syllabi as they would be on the bookshelves of managers and academics. In particular, there is a growing need for managers to have access to cutting-edge research in the field that is written in a sophisticated but approachable way. Emerald Books would like to publish titles in the field of business and society that have scholarly impact while helping managers respond to the challenges associated with continually expanding and evolving expectations for responsible business behavior.

Currently, book proposals are being solicited in the following areas: ethics and compliance, accounting and corporate responsibility, business and human rights, ethics and human resource management, governance and corporate responsibility, and spirituality and business. Additional information about the subject areas for which proposals are being solicited and how to submit a book proposal can be found at www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/tk/rpbs. Proposals and inquiries should be directed to the Series Editor, Harry Van Buren, via email at hjvb3@unm.edu.
