Aim and scope
Business and Society 360 Book Series, published by Emerald and sponsored by the International Association for Business and Society, is an annual book series featuring a comprehensive discussion and review of the current "state" of the research and theoretical developments in a specific BAS area – a 360-degree look at a selected topic. A 360-degree examination of a research area involves an all-around assessment using multiple field experts to supply an analysis and review for the purpose of achieving a full understanding of a topic. Each volume features a comprehensive 360-degree discussion and review of the current state of the research and theoretical developments in a specific area of business and society scholarship. Thus, each volume is a combination of invited and editorial reviewed chapters providing an overview of past work and highlighting cutting-edge research on the selected topic. Volume 1 focused on stakeholder management and Volume 2 targeted corporate social responsibility. Volume 3 focused on business ethics and Volume 4 looked at Sustainability. Volume 5 focused on social entrepreneurship and Volume 6 emphasized DEI management.
Volume 7 Call for Chapter Abstracts
This latest volume presents cutting-edge research in the area of technology and business and society (broadly defined). As technological advancement accelerates, its influence on business organizations and societal dynamics becomes increasingly profound. This volume aims to advance both theoretical understanding and practical cases within this evolving domain. The chapters explore how emerging technologies can be harnessed to drive innovation, transform industries and everyday life, and tackle global challenges, while also examining how individuals, organizations, and societies can adapt to rapid technological change and respond to its often unforeseen ethical and structural implications. With a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary inquiry, the volume integrates perspectives from tech ethics, AI, social cybersecurity among others.
This call for book chapters focuses on addressing cutting edge research at the intersection of technology and the business and society area that carries the potential to advance the theory forward.
