Opening the Black Box of Non-market Organizational Practices: Workshop Event

Join Prof Sorin Krammer, Prof Taz Rajwani and the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies (SAMS) for this free to attend workshop and distinguished panel event, taking place in-person at Surrey Business School on July 4, 2023.

Taking place at Surrey Business School on 4 July - register by 1 June to attend.

Event Abstract

Management of complex nonmarket issues - social, political, legal, and regulatory uncertainties - have become a top concern for most corporations. Nevertheless, despite seeing topics such as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) gaining momentum on many executive boards and media, we find an integrative understanding from a management perspective is still lacking. The workshop aims to attract cutting-edge theoretical/empirical research that examines the nature, antecedents, management, consequences, and public/private regulation of various corporate nonmarket activities.

Participants will have an opportunity to receive feedback and interact with a distinguished panel of scholars which includes:

- Prof Jonathan Doh (Villanova)

- Prof J.P Bonardi (HEC Lausanne)

- Prof George White (Michigan-Flint)

- Prof Thomas Lawton (Cork and Surrey)

- Prof Pei Sun (Manchester)
