    Dear colleagues,

    We invite you to:

    Making Organizations Meaningful- Rethinking Management around Dignity and Well-being
    Rethinking Management Theory

    with Tom Donaldson, Jim Walsh, Sandra Waddock, Otto Scharmer and Ian Mitroff, organized by  Erica Steckler/Michael Pirson

    Session Type: Symposium
    Program Session: 711 | Submission: 10926 | Sponsor(s): (AAT)
    Scheduled: Sunday, Aug 7 2016 4:15PM - 5:45PM at Hilton Anaheim in Malibu



    "Making Organizations Meaningful" as a AAT presumes that many organizations lack meaning and purpose. In this session, leading scholars are discussing why a lack of meaning and purpose exists and will suggest that our theorizing has been influenced by a very reductionist view of human nature, one that does not encompass a need for meaning or purpose. We will also discuss what can be done to rethink management in theory and practice to allow for more meaning and purpose. The main premise of the symposium is based on the development of a humanistic management paradigm which focuses on the notion of human dignity and the promotion of well-being. Tom Donaldson and Jim Walsh present a Theory of Business that protects dignity and promotes collective value creation, i.e. well-being. Otto Scharmer will share his insights on organizing for well-being and Sandra Waddock will draw on the Shamanic insight to more meaningful organizing.

  • 2.  Planning Your Academy Finale - Business and Human Rights Symposium

    Posted 07-15-2016 15:31


    Dear Academy Colleagues,

    We invite you to:

    Business and Human Rights: Measuring and Tracking Progress
    Business and Human Rights

     

    with Denis Arnold, Harry Van Buren, Elisa Giuliani, Kathleen Rehbein, organized by  Tricia Olsen, Kathleen Rehbein & Michelle Westermann-Bahaylo

    Session Type: Symposium

    Program Session: 1892 | Submission: 11118 | Sponsor(s): (SIM, IM)

     Tuesday, Aug 9 2016 11:30AM - 1:00PM at Anaheim Marriott in Elite Ballroom 3



    In today's globalized economy, multinationals are increasingly asked to take responsibility for various social and environmental issues that were once regarded as the purview of the state, including human rights issues. With the UN Human Rights Council endorsement of the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights in 2011, a consensus has emerged in academia and practice that corporations do have human rights obligations (the so- called "corporate responsibility to respect human rights") (Baumann, 2015). The Guiding Principles affect management practice and raise many fundamental questions about the role of private actors in global governance in general and the implementation of human rights commitments in corporations in particular. Although corporations are increasingly aware of the necessity for anticipating and addressing human rights concerns through the development of human rights policies and contributions to peace building activities in conflict and post conflict zones (Giuliani & Macchi, 2014), corporate efforts often fail to address or eliminate human rights concerns.
