Here is a new European Survey on Corporate Social Responsibility by Arlbjørn, Warming-Rasmussen, Liempd and Mikkelsen at University of Southern Denmark.
The survey sets out to address three questions:
1. How far are companies with implementing
CSR and which CSR activities
companies are working with?
2. What are the main challenges, drivers
and barriers for CSR?
3. How is CSR audited?

…though, if you truly are a service operations junkie, you are aware of SERVSIG’s newsletters. But for wanna-be junkies, here are three conferences of interest:
- the Frontiers in Services Conference, Oct 29-Nov 1, 2009 in Hawaii/USA (note the location!)
- a Service Conference & Workshop hosted by the Royal Automobile Club, Nov 5-7, 2009 in London/UK
- the SERVSIG International Research Conference, Jun 17-19, 2010 in Porto/Portugal
Interestingly, all of these attempt to build a bridge between services marketing, service operations management, and the newest fad, service science. In principle, all streams of literature and all schools should be represented.
Apart from these, there are a number of CFPs out for services-related special issues, e.g.on
- “Special section on new advances of risk management in services“ (The International Journal of Services Sciences, deadline Dec 31, 2008)
- “Lean principles in manufacturing, service and public sectors“ (International Journal of Technology Management, deadline Jan 1, 2009)
- “Global service supply chain management“ (Int’l Journal of Services, Economics and Management, deadline of extended abstracts Jul 10, 2009)
and book chapters are also called for, more specifically for the topics of service science and logistics:
- Call for chapters for a book on “Service Science and Logistics Informatics: Innovative Perspectives“. Proposals to be submitted by Jan 15, 2009 to Zongwei Luo
