Welcome to Tampere

 

Our aim is to arrange a conference which not only meets high scientific standards, but is also a memorable event for all the participants. Thus, we welcome you to Tampere to meet your colleagues, to establish new collaborations and to enjoy the latest developments in business ethics research.

The EBEN RC 2010 focuses on research into the reasons why organizations should take business ethics seriously, by concentrating on the motivations, consequences and implications of business ethics. As well as ongoing theoretical discussions, we are interested in contributions that examine how business ethics is understood, applied, and enforced in practice.

 

The conference is arranged in collaboration by the RESPMAN Research Group at the University of Tampere, the University of Jyväskylä School of Business and Economics, and the Finnish Chapter of EBEN. The conference is targeted for academics and practitioners interested in responding to the need to investigate, discuss and understand how, why, when and where business ethics matters.

 

In addition to an interesting conference addressing the motivations, consequences and implications of business ethics, delegates and accompanying persons are offered an attractive social programme with a welcoming reception at the City Hall and a conference dinner at the Finlayson Palace restaurant, known for traditional Continental cuisine and surrounded by a beautiful park.

 

Additional social programme offered by our local organizing committee includes, among others, a sightseeing tour and, of course, the Särkänniemi Adventure Park for the whole family! Pre and post congress tours to Lapland, Tallinn, Stockholm and St. Petersburg are also available on request.
