Appel à communication: The BAM Conference 2023

The BAM2023 Conference will take place on the 1st September (virtual day) with the in-person Conference from the 5th – 6th September and will be hosted by The University of Sussex Business School, University of Sussex.  We have taken the decision to hold the Conference in a split hybrid model.  With our commitment to make events sustainable and accessible to all, a number of virtual elements will be incorporated within the programme.

Theme: Towards Disruptive Sustainability: New Business Opportunities and Challenges

Driven by our vision and strategy on sustainability and continuous change, the theme for the BAM 2023 conference is “Towards Disruptive Sustainability: New Business Opportunities and Challenges”.  We use the provocative term ‘Disruptive Sustainability’ purposefully. While the debate on sustainability has received great attention in the last decade, scholars and practitioners tend to agree that sustainability objectives and practices should not only help improving our environment and societies but sustainability objectives can turn into disruptive business opportunities, and offer new avenues for growth and development in the future. It is therefore evident that a sustainability agenda necessitates the development of sustainable organizations. Yet, the properties and challenges in building sustainable business models have only recently been acknowledged in the academic literature. To create the necessary radical transformation of organizations, industries, and societies, the usual approaches of corporate philanthropy, corporate social responsibility, and technological process and product innovation remain insufficient.

We invite you to join us as in the BAM Project Experiences SIG at BAM 2023, our 37th Annual Conference, where business and management scholars, policy setters and business leaders will grapple with these issues. Join us and help us make a world of difference to management practice and theory and ensure that business and business schools can contribute to the necessary disruptive innovations.

Format: The Conference will consist of Paper Presentations, Keynote Panel Sessions,  Professional Developmental Workshops (PDWs) and Joint Track Sessions presentations curated by Tracks.

Key Dates: The paper submission site will open at 09.00 GMT on Tuesday 10th January and will close at 23:59 GMT on Friday 3rd March.
