Call for Submissions

Business Ethics Quarterly

Special Issue on:

Socio-Technological Conditions of Organized Immaturity in the Twenty-First Century

Deadline: May 31, 2021

Guest Editors:

Andreas Georg Scherer, University of Zurich

Cristina Neesham, Newcastle University

Dennis Schoeneborn, Copenhagen Business School / Leuphana University of Lüneburg

Markus Scholz, University of Applied Science for Management & Communication Vienna

Overview:

The purpose of this special issue is to collect and promote research that examines forms of organized immaturity in contemporary society. The phenomenon of organized immaturity is a manifestation of a human condition that results from the erosion of the autonomy of the individual and is advanced by socio-technological systems and their surveillance and control mechanisms. We seek conceptual, normative, or empirical studies that identify, analyze, and critique current technical and social sources of organized immaturity and develop solutions for resisting new forms of surveillance and control. In line with the disciplinary and thematic scope of BEQ, we invite authors to consider the role of (business) organizations and organizing in both control and emancipation of the individual in business and society, and to analyze possible ethical implications.
