The 12th annual TBS Edu cation’s “Critical and Alternative Thinking on Governance Worksho p” will be held in Amsterdam at ĢƵ. This year’s theme aims to challenge conventional thinking on governance and corporate governance by delving into the underlying philosophies that shape governance practices and board dynamics.
At the sa me time, we will explore competing philosophies of life that question the essence of corporate governance.
We invite PhD students, s easoned scholars, and practitioners to present their research papers. We are also eager to hear from independent board directors intereste d in attending and contributing to the panel discussions.
(Corporate) governance carries a pr ofound responsibility, not only for the future of business but for th e well-being of the planet Earth. However, current debates predominan tly revolve around paradigms developed in the 20th century, focused o n efficiency, growth, and profit maximization. Much of our thinking r emains trapped within these “iron cage” frameworks, perpetuating systems of mass consumption and material accumulation. As a result, i t created unbalances in the environment and the society, leading to u nprecedented global challenges such as climate change, inequality, an d social unrest.
A transformation in corporate governance logic is necessary if we are to confront these challenges and ensure a suitable future for the living. This shift requires scholars to em brace alternative and new epistemologies. A more moral, glocal, inter connected, and reflective approach to corporate governance can open u p the stream of possibilities for corporations to prioritize life at the core of their decision-making. Boards must assume a central role in this thinking, transcending predominantly profit motives to advanc e the collective good. In doing so, they can help to facilitate the e xchange of local wealth and ideas across borders. Although a growing number of corporations are demonstrating forward-looking glocal citiz enship, their numbers remain insufficient. Revisited governance is es sential to meet the challenges of our time.
Philosophers and scientists have critiqued the prevailing paradigm, offering theor etical frameworks that redefine the economy as a means for collective wealth and social progress, rather than an end in itself. This alter native paradigm places the planet, living beings, ecosystems, and soc iety at the heart of both business decision-making and policymaking. Having an impact (even positive) is not assuming a role in society.
Through this Call for Papers, we invite research papers and essa y contributions that explore and advance thinking on the roles of boa rds of directors, corporate governance structures, and related areas such as social and environmental performance, social activism, techno logies for good, meta-thinking, and board decision-making. We particu larly encourage submissions in the form of essays of around 3,000 wor ds. A selection of these essays will be considered for publication in an edited volume.
