The role of deliberative democracy within and around organizations has received growing attention over the past years in management and organization studies. The related debates on workplace democracy, organizational democracy and the broader political responsibilities of corporations have received new vigor with the advent of the so-called "multi-objective organization" that aims for financial, social and environmental goals simultaneously. While proponents of deliberative democracy argue for the beneficial role of deliberative decision-making for the integration of multiple values and goals, critics point to legitimacy as well as efficiency problems associated with organizing internal and external stakeholders according to democratic principles. This subtheme aims at discussing the challenges and prospects of democratic organizing for corporate sustainability and responsibility by inviting both conceptual as well as empirical research from a broad variety of management-related disciplines and methodological approaches.
Submission deadline for short papers: Tuesday, January 14, 2020, 23:59 CET
