Discourses of Corporate Social Responsibility and Ethics In Uncertain Times
Fri, November 13, 5:00 to 6:15pm, Hilton Chicago, Floor: Fifth Floor, Meeting Room 5ESession Submission Type: Paper Session
Abstract
Scholars and practitioners have successfully advocated for organizations to actively construct identities that include CSR and ethics as central characteristics. It is unclear how these initiatives will fare during the current financial crisis. How compelling will arguments for CSR and ethics be when juxtaposed against todays economic uncertainty? This moment presents both a challenge and an opportunity. This panel considers how these discourses might be modified, strengthened or perhaps diminished in the coming years.
