That is our research! - Contributions of the Chair of Business Ethics and Management at conferences in 2021.
19 August 2021
The past academic year that was largely overshadowed by the pandemic posed huge challenges in teaching and research, but also outside the university system. Therefore, we are even more pleased that the team of the Chair of Business Ethics and Management, consisting of Prof. Dr. Dirk Ulrich Gilbert, Dr. Anna-Lena Maier, Marc Dörlemann and Stefanie Remmer, managed to successfully apply for several conferences and present its research findings for discussion.
We are also particularly pleased that two of our team members have been nominated for a prize or been awarded a prize at the conferences. We congratulate Dr. Maier on her nomination for the Alan M. Rugman Young Scholar Award from the Academy of International Business (AIB). The decision will be made later this year. Our doctoral researcher Stefanie Remmer was recognized as "Emerging Scholar" at the annual conference of the Society for Business Ethics.
Stefanie Remmer also kicked off this year's conference season for the Chair when presenting her research on Social Activism at the 2021 Business & Society Research Seminar.
Shortly thereafter, Dr. Anna-Lena Maier presented her paper on "Great Expectations and a Complementarity of Interests: Authoritarian CSR and German Multinationals in the Arab Gulf States" at the Academy of International Business (AIB) Annual Conference in the Multinational Enterprise State Relations and International Business Policy track.
This was followed by the Annual Conference of the European Group for Organization Studies (EGOS) in July where Dr. Anna-Lena Maier and Stefanie Remmer presented their joint research on Narrative Legitimation of Cross-Sector Partnerships for Sustainable Development. In addition, Stefanie Remmer presented her research on Social Activism in another track. She also participated in several pre-conference paper development workshops, which gave her the opportunity to present her literature review on Micro-Foundations of Corporate Social Responsibility for discussion.
The conference participation concluded with the Annual Meetings of the Society for Business Ethics (SBE) and of the Academy of Management (AoM), which took place at the same time. Stefanie Remmer presented a paper at the SBE Annual Meeting as part of the Emerging Scholar program. At the AoM Annual Meeting, Marc Dörlemann presented the joint paper of Dr. Anna-Lena Maier, Prof. Dr. Dirk Ulrich Gilbert and Lisa Hartmann titled "Managing Scaling Tensions: A Case Study on Social Enterprises in Germany" in the Social and Sustainability Enterprises session. Stefanie Remmer was accepted to participate in a Paper Development Workshop of the Strategy-as-Practice Interest Group.
