Dear Friends,
The Institute of Management and its partners cordially invite you to join the
5th International Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility
- The Future of CSR -
October 4-6, 2012 Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany
www.csr-hu-berlin.org
Submission deadline ends on June 30, 2012
The debate on the role and impact of CSR on corporate, manager and dtakeholder behavior and practice continues to rage. There are now many standards, many types of certification and monitoring programs, many accrediting agencies, numerous conferences generated by different stakeholder
groups. The result of this proliferation is a degree of confusion and the need for consolidation.
What are the implications of these dynamics for CSR? The conference will focus on the future of CSR by exploring whether more collaboration between the most relevant global entities can bring more consistency across different institutions.
Rather than looking at what is the potentiality of CSR the goal of the conference is to examine the science behind CSR and behavior and the actual managerial practices that work.
About 100 international representatives from science, business, politics and governmental as well as non-governmental organizations will discuss these issues!
The conference invites submissions from practitioners, scientists from various disciplines, and others who want to bring the logic and empirical techniques of CSR to bear.
Doctoral students are welcome to apply to the pre-conference Doctoral Workshop which aims to provide doctoral students with an opportunity to discuss their research with senior academics and to build relationships with other students from around the world.
For more information, registration and submission of a contribution please go to:
www.csr-hu-berlin.org
For questions regarding the conference contact us at: info@csr-hu-berlin.org.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Berlin!

Call for Papers:
Special Issue of Managerial and Decision Economics
EFFECTS OF ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS
ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP, INNOVATION, AND GROWTH
Submission Due Date: June 15, 2012
Special Issue Conference: October 29, 2012
Guest Editors:
Peter Klein, University of Missouri
Donald Siegel, University at Albany, SUNY
Nick Wilson, Leeds University Business School
Mike Wright, Imperial College Business School
Special Issue Conference sponsored by
School of Business, University at Albany, SUNY
Centre for Private Equity Research, Imperial College Business School
McQuinn Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership, University of Missouri
Introduction
The past decade has brought rapid growth in a variety of specialist alternative investment vehicles, including venture capital, business angel funds, later-stage private equity, hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, infrastructure funds, and real estate funds. The importance of venture capital and angel investment for new firms, particularly in high-growth, high-technology sectors, is well known. But alternative investments span a wide range of company types, from small, early-stage ventures with high growth rates but little cash flow to large firms in mature industries that generate substantial cash flow.
Alternative investment vehicles introduce new forms of financing with different objectives and diverse forms of involvement by investors in portfolio firms. Alternative investors differ widely in skills, goals, experience, and investment time horizons. They often invest across a variety of institutional environments, transferring standard investment approaches from one sector or country to another. Because these alternative equity stakes are generally less liquid than shares in publicly traded enterprises, their growth raises a host of important issues for the organization and governance of portfolio companies, for the structure of industries heavily dependent on alternative investment pools, and for entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic growth more generally.
This special issue focuses on the effects of alternative investments on entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic growth. These issues are especially timely given current debates about the role of alternative investments in stimulating economic outcomes and the need for diverse sources of capital to stimulate economic growth in conditions of severe recession. We welcome theoretical papers, large scale quantitative analyses, and focused case studies.
Research Questions
Research questions that contributors to the special issue might address include:
· How does the nature of deals vary by different types of alternative investor? What factors are influential in determining these differences?
· What are the relationships between financial structuring of deals and the nature and extent of entrepreneurship and innovation in portfolio firms?
· How does financial structure affect entrepreneurial alertness, judgment, and innovation not only in new firms, but in established organizations as well?
· To what extent do alternative investors engage in funding both restructuring and innovative activities? What are the effects of alternative investments on growth at the level of the firm, sector, region, and economy?
· How do buyout firms attempt to increase innovation within public companies that are taken private?
· How have the roles of alternative investment vehicles changed over time, as in the changing roles of venture capital firms and business angels in Silicon Valley?
· How do venture capital and angel investors organize themselves into networks? How do these affect venture performance?
· What is the nature of the contractual relationships between alternative investors and founders or operators of startup companies?
· What explains the clustering of alternative investments across industries? Across time and place?
· To what extent can alternative investors, as "active" participants in their portfolio companies, themselves be modeled as entrepreneurs?
Papers on related issues not explicitly listed above are also welcome.
Submission and Review Process
Submissions must be made on or before June 15, 2012. All papers will be externally reviewed according to standard policies of Managerial and Decision Economics.
Conference Details and Time Line
To aid in the development of papers, a special issue conference will be held at the SUNY Global Center in Midtown Manhattan October 29, 2012. Acceptance to the conference does not guarantee publication in the journal.
Accommodation and meals will be provided for all authors and discussants attending the conference. Financial support is provided by the School of Business and the Center for Institutional Investment Management at the University at Albany, SUNY, the Centre for Private Equity Research at Nottingham University Business School, and the McQuinn Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership at the University of Missouri.
June 15, 2012 Deadline for electronic submission of papers to conference and special issues
