Multinational Practices
on Sustainable Development:
The colloquium will explore the ideas that multinationals
have concerning sustainable development and to reaffirm their
strategies and organizational practices (human resources,
marketing, technology, communications, etc). It also deals
with the understanding of the factors that motivate these
decisions as well as the specifics that determine them. Examples,
case studies and concrete experiences will help us understand
these processes.
The conditions of emergence,
diffusion and continuity in sustainable development:
Here, we deal with the roles that the macroeconomic environment
(political, social, legal, institutional and cultural) have
on the emergence and diffusion of multinational practices.
The symposium will deal with the question of the impact of
the positions taken by the ONG and the international organizations,
(ILO, UN, etc) as well as the study of institutional and cultural
specificities. It will also treat the influence of the micro-economic
environment (market, competition, stakeholders, activity sectors,
etc.) as well as the incidence of organizational (size, hierarchy,
top management teams, etc) and decisional specificities.
The role of multinationals
in the development of politics and/or global strategies on
sustainable development:
The involves examining the role of multinationals in the implementation
and diffusion of regional and international initiatives, (political,
social or legal) in terms of codes or behavioral norms of
a universal character susceptible to orient organizational
behavior.
Note: Other subjects and
issues in relation with the central question may be treated.
