What We Practice and What We Teach in Business Ethics
In addition to the general theme for the keynote and plenary sessions, the conference is organized in broad topical areas based on proposed submissions.
We are looking for submissions from business professionals, academics and young scholars who have an interest in and commitment to the study and discussion of business and professional ethics.
The conference will begin on Thursday afternoon, October 22nd and run until Saturday afternoon, October 24th. Specific details on the conference venue and accommodations may be found on our website (www.ivbec.org ). The conference registration fee is $350.00.

All submissions must indicate whether they are “Discussion” papers (abstract only) or “Full” papers. Full paper submissions must follow the proposal with a full paper by the date designated below and will be considered for a Best Paper Award. Final proposals will be selected through a blind referee process based on the quality of the submission and their relation to the theme of the conference.

PAPER ABSTRACTS/PROPOSALS (DUE APRIL 15, 2015)
The paper abstract or proposals should consist of a title page and a short summary (1-3 pages) on the subject, including keywords. The title page should contain the name, institutional affiliation, postal address, telephone number, fax number, country code, and electronic mailing address of each author. All materials or references that allow the blind reviewer to identify the author(s) should be completely removed from the abstract and paper, and appear only on the title page. Authors should bear in mind that abstracts will be used to publicize the content of their article and should therefore emphasize the value of the article's contribution to conference participants. Authors should also attempt to make the abstract understandable to both academics and laypersons alike.
Paper abstracts/Proposals should be typed using font size 12 on 8.5 x 11'' paper with 1'' margins.
Each page should be numbered and line spacing should be single spaced.

Papers should roughly conform to the standards set by the Journal of Business Ethics. The title page should contain the name, institutional affiliation, postal address, telephone number, fax number, country code, and electronic mailing address of each author. The second page should include the paper title, an abstract that is 100-250 words and keywords.
