Sustainability has been described as the defining issue of our generation and its relevance to business is second to none. As the study of sustainability gains momentum globally it is important to examine current research on its economic, social and environmental aspects in the various Business disciplines. The purpose of the 2015 Odette School of Business Sustainability Symposium is to advance the study of sustainability in business by bringing together some of the leading researchers on sustainability from around the world to present and receive feedback on their latest research.
The event will be held at the Odette School of Business at the University of Windsor. The Odette School of Business has a vibrant research culture that seeks to promote impactful research. The School is located in the City of Windsor in Southwestern Ontario across a river from Detroit, Michigan, USA.
