Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
We are organizing a subtheme on "Regulating Organizations: Re-Examining the Intersections between States and Businesses" at the European Group for Organizational Studies (EGOS) conference in July 2024 in Milan.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
In view of the grand environmental, political, and social problems we are facing, we would – perhaps more urgently than ever – need a functioning regulatory and legal environment that motivates companies contribute towards making our world more sustainable. But how should such a 'better' and 'smarter' regulatory system look like and how should regulatory processes be organized?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
To the address such questions, the aim of this subtheme is to invite scholarship that seeks to integrate, extend, or contradict regulatory and organizational research in novel ways.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Here is the call for papers: https://www.egos.org/jart/prj3/egos/main.jart?rel=de&reserve-mode=active&content-id=1662944489704&subtheme_id=1666413958696 (Deadline January 9, 2024).<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
We look very forward to receiving your submissions!<o:p></o:p>
