Barcelona, Spain May 18-19, 2006 Organized by IESE Business School, University of Navarra

Many leading managerial theories, such as agency theory, transaction costs theory, institutional theory and others have received much criticism. They have been accused of fostering egoistic behavior in managers and even of having contributed to well-known financial scandals. The Symposium aims to explore the problems of current management theories and practices, and the prospects for improving them. At the same time, new proposals for a more comprehensive integration of ethics into management are welcome.
