The GSMAC 2017 Conference organized by the Griffiths School of
Management at Emanuel University of Oradea will explore the following
theme Civil society, economic and social well-being.
Improving economic and social well-being is a continuous goal at all
levels of governance, be it national, regional or at the level of
communities and neighbourhoods. While this has been a much-debated and
researched policy field by academics and practitioners alike, how civil
society could contribute to this development has been far less
investigated. Research and practice have shown, on the one hand, that
there is a great potential for civil society organizations to, directly
or indirectly, support socio-economic well-being. On the other hand,
active societies and growing economies can, in turn, contribute to
strengthening the role of non-state actors. Thus, the interplay between
civil society and economic and social well-being is a highly relevant
subject to research and discuss by both academics and practitioners in
government, business and the non-profit sector.
Relevant questions addressing these issues would include:
• In what ways, have civil society organizations contributed to economic and social well-being?
• At what level of governance (national, regional, local,
community-level) are non-state actors best equipped to support economic
and social development?
• How can different government, business and non-profit actors support economic and social well-being?
• In what ways, can growing economies and active societies help strengthen the civil society?
We hereby would like to invite research papers coming from
researchers and practitioners around the world to explore the various
dimensions of these aspects. We welcome theory-based and empirical
studies grounded both in qualitative or quantitative methodology as well
as conceptual contributions. The Conference provides a platform for
academics and practitioners in the field of business, management, public
administration, sociology and social work to tackle new approaches to
civil society studies and economic and social well-being.
The conference is open to scholars and practitioners in Economics,
Management, Information Technology, E-Business and e-Commerce
Leadership, Marketing, Human Resources, Business Ethics, Operations
Management, Financial Management, Entrepreneurship, Non-profit
Organizations, Public Administration and Management, Logistics
Management, Transdisciplinary Studies.
