The theme of the conference is “Developing the next generation responsible leaders”. The theme is broad enough to include papers and presentations from academia, practitioners; representing private, public and civil society sectors. Although presented in South Africa, the focus would include international perspectives and contributions. The format of the conference will include full length papers, workshops, panel discussions, poster presentations, case studies and a PhD colloquium. Selected papers are eligible for consideration for a special issue of the Journal of Business Ethics (JBE), entitled “Responsible Leadership”, edited by Nicola M. Pless (ESADE Business School, University Ramon Llull), Derick de Jongh (University of Pretoria) and Thomas Maak (ESADE Business School and University of St. Gallen) to be published in Spring 2011. Please indicate if you want your paper to be considered for the Special Issue and note that only fully developed papers are to be included in the review process.
