Programme

GRONEN 2012 brings together a range of different formats for advancing the academic debate on corporate sustainability. We aim to provide a suitable platform for academic exchange for research at different stages. In the scholarly programme we therefore offer full paper sessions as well as research development sessions. In addition and in line with the thematic focus of the conference there will be a special topic workshop on sufficiency. Moreover, the conference integrates three Professional Development Workshops within the oikos Faculty Symposium. As a distinctive highlight GRONEN 2012 features a theory development workshop entitled “What constitutes a theoretical contribution?” held by Prof David A. Whetten of the Marriott school of Management at Brigham Young University.
