7th ISBEE World Congress
Re-inventing globalization Community, Virtues and the Power of Purpose
Bilbao, Spain | July 15-18, 2020

The world is in a paradoxical state: cumulative global wealth is at an all-time high, unemployment in many advanced economies at an all-time low, and yet, dissatisfaction with the outcomes of global capitalism is growing, especially within younger generations. Moreover, trust in business leaders and elites in most large economies is at an alltime low, triggered by self-serving behavior of leaders and prominent business scandals, putting at risk the legitimacy of economic actors and their social license to operate.
The reasons for distrust and dissatisfaction are manifold: growing inequality in income and access to resources and a widening gap between rich and poor; complacency of elites in politics and business and their inaction in addressing the grand challenges of our time: the ethical tragedy of global climate change and the quest for sustainable futures; poverty alleviation and the challenge of a more inclusive and less divisive world; access to meaningful work, and health and wellbeing at work, and the ability to lead an active life; and the global leadership crisis and the rise of extremism around the world.
At the same we witness the rise of the purpose economy and global search for meaning; unprecedented opportunities (and challenges) through digital technologies and AI; and political activism of younger generations with the purpose of re-claiming their future. Against this background we cordially invite you to submit proposals for the 7th ISBEE
World Congress in Bilbao, Spain, to participate in the discourse on how we may re-invent globalization, the role of local communities, virtues and values, and the power of purpose.
