CONFERENCE: From the Center for Business Education's Stakeholder Marketing Consortium

Aspen CBE's Stakeholder Marketing Consortium will host its second conference on October 2 and 3 at Boston University. The Consortium is a forum for innovative research and collaboration among leading marketing scholars and practitioners. This year's meeting will consider questions such as:

- When stakeholder needs conflict how can organizations reconcile these differences?
- How can managers be motivated to consider the societal impact of marketing actions?
- What makes stakeholders skeptical about the motives of companies' actions?

Register here for the conference.

The Aspen Institute's Center for Business Education encourages future business leaders to innovate at the intersection of corporate profits and social impacts. Our goal is bold and long-term: to radically re-orient the MBA degree to embrace the principles of corporate citizenship and sustainability.
