Call for Proposals – 2nd Annual ICGS Conference

‘Taking stock of corporate governance:

Where we are and where we are going’

October 1st and 2nd, 2016

The International Corporate Governance Society (www.icgsociety.org) will focus its 2

nd

annual

conference theme on reviews of existing research streams and/or proposals for new analytical

approaches, governance concepts, or theoretical frameworks. Of course, non-thematic

submissions will also be considered. Due to our inter-disciplinary nature, we think of corporate

governance in broad terms – those systems and mechanisms designed to channel corporate

power for the well-being of society. As such, corporate social responsibility initiatives and the

cultivation of ethical practices fit within our conceptualization of corporate governance.

We invite you to consider submitting a research proposal that advances our understanding of the

antecedents and outcomes of corporate governance systems and practices. The proposal must

draw from previously unpublished original research. Well-crafted work in progress is welcome.

Specifically, we invite authors to submit a presentation proposal which should include the

following sections: (1) a 200 to 300 word abstract that summarizes the overall study; (2) an

Extended abstract: Narrative description of the essence of your conceptual or empirical study;

and (3) Supporting material: Tables, figures, and references which support the extended abstract.

Overall, the extended abstract should not exceed 10 single-spaced pages in length or 3,000

words. Proposals can be submitted starting on January 1 and must be submitted by 12 midnight

(EST) on April 1, 2016 to in order to be considered for presentation. All proposals must be

submitted through our online conference management system which is accessed through the

‘Conferences’ tab of the ICGS website.

A decision on your conference submission about its inclusion in the conference program will be

provided by May 16, 2016. The very best proposals will be invited to submit a full research

paper of approximately 30-40 double-spaced pages by July 29, 2016 in order to be considered for

the best conference paper award. The author(s) who win(s) this award will be recognized during

the conference and receive a $1,500 check provided by the Harold S. Geneen Institute of

Corporate Governance. The runner-up best paper will receive a prize of $500.
