The Role of Multinationals in the Energy Transition

Abstract

The primary aim of the proposed symposium is to discuss research questions focused on the implications of climate change for international business and on the role IB scholars can play in addressing climate change through a multi-level perspective. Building on seminal and own work of the organizers and presenters, the symposium will highlight important aspects at the intersection of climate change and IB as well as possible directions for future research and knowledge generation. It offers a platform for discussion and mutual learning among participants and should ideally ‘produce’ follow-up activities.
