Food For Thought
ICT in Social Connections: Good servant, bad master One of the fundamental needs of humans, as social animals, is the need to have social connections and interactions with fellow humans. Communication and information technology has certainly made this process easier but what happens when they become a substitute instead of a catalyst? Professor Jan Ondrus, ESSEC Asia Pacific, studies the impact of information and communication technology on social reclusiveness.

Now Open for Registration! The CoBS 2022 Student CSR Article Competition. Topics: There is a debate around the potential cost of a green transition. "Greenflation" would be caused by a higher demand for greener solutions, and the consequences of new public policies (e.g. green taxes). How can we deal with the social tensions that could possibly arise with greenflation? The consequences of the Covid pandemic have reached every country in the world, causing a huge rise in poverty and social vulnerability even in rich countries. What can Business Schools do in order to address this situation? What are the main barriers preventing the world from reaching Net-Zero carbon emissions, both at the macro level (geopolitics, industrial barriers, etc.) and at the micro level (individual behaviour)? How do corporations create new value through low carbon practice? What is the potential negative social impact of AI, and what are the possible solutions accordingly? What has been the impact of increased investor attention to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues on corporate sustainability performance and reporting? How can we balance the social costs and benefits of the advance of digital and robotic automation with respect to the future of work? Do we have to trade off wellbeing for productivity, or can we have both?
