Date: 25-28 March 2010
Location: Banff, Alberta, Canada
The IABS theme of Business and the Sustainable Commons is designed to foster conversations and innovative thinking on ways that business and society can collaborate on resource conservation, job creation, health protection, and environmental sustainability, despite the temptation for individual industries, corporations, and citizens’ groups to appropriate the common resources for their own interests and gain. We are particularly eager to include papers, symposia, and workshops that consider the effects of business and governmental policy on natural resources and the long‐term survival of the commons. We hope to attract participation by industry representatives as well as scholars to contribute to pragmatic discussions of challenging issues.
