Call for papers Special issue: The role of corporate social and environmental responsibility in international business DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: February 1, 2006 Guest Editors: David A. Ralston, University of Oklahoma, Carolyn P. Egri, Simon Fraser University The primary focus of this Special Topic is to emphasize two objectives regarding literature that we see as important but largely overlooked. First, corporate social responsibility has been an issue discussed in the business literature for decades and corporate environmental responsibility has been a topic of concern for a similar period. However, to date, these closely related issues have been dealt with separately in empirical research. Thus, one objective of this Special Topic is to encourage authors to consider the interrelated aspects of social and environmental responsibility issues. Second, while both social and environmental issues have been discussed in the literature for over a decade, very little cross-national research has been conducted in these areas. Thus, the second objective of this Special Topic is to encourage authors to think globally regarding corporate social and environmental responsibility. The Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (CSER) Special Topic is open to papers that emphasize either social or environmental responsibility in the international context, but preference will be given to those that integrate the social and environmental aspects cross-nationally. Further, this Special Topic is open to conceptual and theorydevelopment papers, empirical hypothesis-testing papers, mathematical modeling papers, as well as other types of papers that advance understanding of corporate social and environmental responsibility in the international business context. The deadline for submission is February 1, 2006. Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with JIM’s Style Guide for Authors: http://sbm.temple.edu/jim/authors.html. Authors should electronically submit papers to either of the guest editors. Please also direct any questions regarding the Special Issue to the guest editors: David A.
