The objective of the 2002 BELL Conference will be to
examine how business schools and other institutions
can incorporate scientific advances, public policy
debates and civil society to prepare tomorrow's business
leaders to make better environmental decisions.
The rapid global growth of civil society, development
of information technology and the associated, vastly
increased availability of information are fundamentally
altering business strategy and management. For example,
businesses find their actions and even decision processes
subjected to unprecedented degrees of transparency
and public scrutiny. They can no longer afford to
wait for governments to define their social and environmental
responsibilities through regulation. A growing number
adopt highly proactive engagements with environmental
NGOs, scientists, and community groups, whose knowledge
and capabilities can alter the competitive landscape
faster than ever before.
We are pleased to announce that Corporate Environmental
Strategy (CES), Elsevier's International Journal of
Corporate Sustainability, will be the sponsor publication
of the 2002 BELL Conference. Selected presentations
from the conference will be published in the November
2002 special BELL Conference issue of CES. For more
information on CES please visit www.corporate-env-strategy.com.
About the BELL Conference: The objective of
the BELL Conference is to support integration of sustainability
issues into business school curricula. The annual
conference features teaching case presentations, panel
discussions of emerging sustainability topics important
to business education, presentations of teaching initiatives,
and new research. We expect up to 200 business faculty
in various disciplines from around the world to participate
in the conference in 2002, as well as representatives
of leading private sector organizations, government
agencies, and NGOs.
