We are proud to announce that Diane-Laure Arjaliès has been awarded the “Highly Commended” prize of the 2011 Emerald/EFMD Outstanding Doctoral Research Awards for her dissertation in the interdisciplinary accounting research area:

International recognition and cash awards for the best doctoral research

The results!

This year there were 12 subject categories, sponsored by a selection of Emerald journals. The Awards were open to those who had completed examination requirements for a doctoral award between 1 October 2008 and 1 October 2011.

As the quality of submissions was again exceptionally high in all categories, the judges have had a difficult task deciding whom should be awarded these prestigious accolades. In addition to the overall winner, a number of Highly Commended Awards have been bestowed across all of the various categories. Details of all award winners, listed by category, can be found below.

A cash prize of €1,500 (or currency equivalent) is awarded to the winner of each category, as well as a certificate and the prospect of an offer of publication in the sponsoring journal, either as a full paper or an executive summary, at the Editor’s discretion. All Highly Commended Award winners will receive certificates.

Both Emerald and the EFMD are exceedingly proud to support and reward such high-quality research. We wish the winners, and indeed all the applicants, success in their future academic careers. Further updates, including presentation photos and publication details, will appear here as information becomes available.

By SnO - Post on 2012 February 15 - No Comments - conference

This conference organized by the Accounting and Control Department and the MSc in Sustainable Development of HEC Paris during the 2011 October FrenchSIF week for Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) aims to explore SRI in a broad sense and the potential role of non-financial criteria in the management of sovereign bonds. Indeed, the precarious situation of the sovereign debt market has driven changes in the political agenda of many European countries, often driven by the balance of payment and debt situation of the respective national governments. Analysis of social and environmental sustainability of countries and the related rankings offer a potential alternative to mainstream and dominantly financial analysis of sovereign bonds. Some of the questions to be addressed in this conference are: – What are the possible relationships between (the lack of) environmental, social and governance sustainability and the current debt crisis? – Could attention to environmental and social sustainability in the investment process contribute to minimizing the probability and/or risk of future debt crises? – What are the political and technical barriers to integration of environmental and social factors in the sovereign debt investment processes and products?
