The German Business Ethics Network (DNWE, EBEN-Germany) is to host the
EBEN annual conference 2005 in
Bonn,
September 22nd - 24th. In the frame of "State, Business,
Stakeholders – Ethical Perspectives on Balacing Business and Public Interests" the debate on shifting responsibilities in global competition between the State and the Economy shall be promoted.
Are corporations simply good or bad guys? Is the market simply good or bad? Is the state efficient
or generally inefficient? On which criteria can judgments be orientated? To which extent
can corporations underline their social, ecological or political responsibility? Where are limits
of CSR in global competition? Where does state authority have to take measures of shaping
markets and how? To which extent arise new forms of leadership to enhance public interests?
New Balances have to be developed on how to define the role of business in society, the role
of markets in globalisation, the need for both economic and ethical competences.
