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.

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

2019 Call for Chapter Abstracts

This call for book chapters focuses on addressing cutting edge research in the sustainability 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 a theoretical or empirical piece, a review of the literature, or even a chapter recommending suggestions for future research in the area. Sustainable development involves meeting the "needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" (Brundtland Commission Report, 1987). As a critical component of business and society relationships, this area encompasses social and ecological sustainability that includes sustainable supply chains, the addressing of the sustainable development goals (United Nations), human rights, sustainable reporting, sustainable finance, social innovations, and planetary boundaries.  

Abstracts will be peer-reviewed by the editorial team. Invitations to write an entire chapter will be sent based on the reviews.
