MIC 2011
12th Management International Conference
"Managing Sustainability?"
23 - 26 November 2011
Portorož, Slovenia

Organised by the
Faculty of Management Koper, University of Primorska, Slovenia
with cooperation of EMUNI University

Conference Aims
Management International Conference (MIC) is a traditional conference for scholars of management studies, welcoming participants from around the world, with broad and diverse research interests. Its aim is to present and discuss research that contributes to the sharing of new theoretical, methodological and empirical knowledge, and to better understanding of management practices.

The special focus of MIC 2011 is on the controversial issue of whether, and how, sustainability can really be "managed". Sustainability has become one of the highest priorities on social development and corporate responsibility agendas, yet the concept remains highly contested. On the one hand, it has evolved from being a "limit to growth" of economies and businesses into a comprehensive alternative development paradigm and practice. On the other hand, it has also devolved into being a "commodity" that sells well on the market and that can be managed in ways similar to other business or social resources. Where on this broad range of possible meanings do we find our current personal, corporate and policy practices? Why is sustainability so fashionable? Is future sustainable and is there a future for sustainability?
