8th International Conference on Social Values in Education and Business
(OXSVEB)
July 19-21, 2006, University of Oxford, England
Conference Theme:
Ethical Conflict and the Sleep of Reason
Christos & Mary Papoutsy Foundation for Business Ethics
The Whittemore School of Business and Economics
CALL FOR PAPERS
Conflict: National, Global, Sectarian, Corporate, Psychological, and
Educational
Ethical issues and conflict remain universal concerns. The interaction of
cultures and economies through the spread of globalization has led to an
increase in diversity. At the same time there is a counter-movement leading
to homogenization. This blending impacts values, attitudes, needs,
expectations, and lifestyles.
We are seeking broad-based papers which explore the ethical conflicts which
arise from these interactions. Negotiating this emerging environment
requires new skills and educational approaches. Papers are invited which
focus on global, national, sectarian, corporate, psychological and
educational arenas in which these concerns are played out.
SOME CONCRETE CONCERNS INCLUDE:
Conflict in training concepts for corporate change management
Conflict in the management of policy and action
Conflict in skills education and change management
Conflict in cultural work habits and the global corporation
Conflict in capability and expectation in the work place
Conflict in management processes open to interpretation and unfair
practices
Conflict in advancement processes and the legal environment
Conflict in corporate cultures
Conflict Within the Self
Interpersonal issues in conflict
Sectarian conflict
Conflict in international settings
Conflict between progress and sustainability
All papers are double-blind reviewed for acceptance
and will be published in Volume 11 of the ongoing series on Social Values
published by
Oxford University Centre for the Study of Values in Education and Business
To facilitate debate and exchange of views, we intend to accommodate a
greater and more exciting variety of presentation styles, including paper
sessions, workshops, and plenary sessions and working paper sessions.
