Call for papers deadline extended to 30 September 2018
Massey University, Auckland 9 – 11 December 2018
Doctoral workshop: 9th December 2018
Submissions are now invited for the 8th Annual ABEN Conference on Business Ethics, to be hosted by Massey University at their Albany campus in Auckland, New Zealand. The conference will begin on the afternoon of 9 December 2018 with a Doctoral Workshop, followed by a Welcome Reception for all participants. Sessions for the delivery of papers at the 8th Annual ABEN Conference will be held on 10 and 11 December 2018.
The theme for this year’s conference is Ethics and Sustainability in the Age of Disruption. A range of technological and organisational changes in recent years have significantly disrupted, and continue to disrupt existing ways of doing business around the world. While it could be argued that not all new technologies and innovations are disruptive, they can be beneficial in the long term and require creativity, initiative and objectivity. We consider the implications that such disruption has on efforts to promote ethics and sustainability within the business sphere, as well as how the imperatives of ethics and sustainability can themselves disrupt existing business practices.
We also welcome papers on broader topics, whether theoretical or empirical, including (but not limited to):

Jan Schapper Scholarship in Critical Business Ethics
As in previous years, the Jan Schapper Scholarship in Critical Business Ethics is being offered for a PhD student, early career researcher or other worthy recipient and comprises a bursary and the waiving of the ABEN conference registration fee. The Scholarship was founded in 2015 to encourage critical approaches to business ethics at the ABEN annual meeting. If you would like to be considered for the scholarship, please indicate this when registering for the ABEN conference; eligible participants will be invited to submit a full paper by 31 October 2018. A decision on the award will be made in November.
Jan Schapper was one of the founders of ABEN and worked at Monash’s Department of Management for 15 years before returning to La Trobe in 2010. Deeply immersed in feminist, Marxist and psychoanalytic scholarship, Jan’s research interests included higher education, critical approaches to business ethics and CSR, and workplace equality and diversity. She was especially keen that as a scholarly community we pay attention to questions of critical pedagogy, teaching and learning, and to ensuring that we provide supportive and friendly environments in which future scholars can develop their work. Jan died surrounded by her family and friends on September 24, 2014. Further information is available at https://aben.org.au/jan-schapper-scholarships/.
