We cordially invite you to a caucus entitled The Strategic Imperative of
Sustainability .
Date: Monday, August 9th
Time: 8:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m.
Location: Le Palais des Congres - 522B
Program Session: 595
This caucus will bring together scholars, researchers and practitioners
interested in a topic centered approach to sustainability, free of any
theoretic or discipline specific orthodoxy. We are particularly interested
in elaborating on interdisciplinary approaches that will promote
sustainability integral to the strategic imperatives of managing all
organizations. We hope to provide a forum that enables researchers and
practitioners to interact and discuss future research initiatives that
integrate environmental concerns within a pragmatic managerial model.
We propose to initiate a dialogue to bring together researchers and
practitioners across disciplines, who thereafter could develop an
interdisciplinary research agenda to holistically address the issues and
attempt to integrate theory and practices that can further our evolution
towards a sustainable society. This caucus recognizes the inherent
importance of sustainability to all business strategy in the years to
come. We seek to reconceptualize organizations to fully integrate
sustainability considerations into the core strategy around which
managerial decisions are taken.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about the
Caucus. We look forward to seeing you in Montreal.
