CALL FOR PAPERS
The Association on Employment Practices and Principles (AEPP)
Fourteenth Annual International Conference
October 5-7, 2006
New York, New York, USA
Sponsored by the School of Business, Manhattan College, New York
The Association On Employment Practices And Principles (AEPP) focuses on the
quality of life in work organizations, and promotes an awareness of ethics,
social responsibility and justice. The AEPP hosts annual international
conferences that are personal, inclusive, supportive and democratic. The AEPP
also sponsors the Employee Responsibilities and Rights Journal (ERRJ) published
by Kluwer.
CONFERENCE THEME:
Balancing Organizational Competitiveness, Ethics, Social Responsibility and
Employee Rights in the Global Economy
Business is increasing influenced by factors on a global scale. Technology
advances, labor availability, wage rates, customer demands and the need to be
competitive affect business practices and human resources management. For
example, advances in information technology and the availability of
differential wage rates promote the practice of outsourcing. Another example is
the differential health care and pension burdens taken across the globe that
influence competitiveness and increase cost sharing between organizations and
their employees or the reduction of promised benefits. A third example points
to the interesting internationalization of organized labor. To meet the global
economy challenge, management needs to balance the needs of several
stakeholders: owners, management, employees, customers, and governments so that
organizations survive and increase their competitiveness while concurrently
meeting the needs of these stakeholders.
