*Call for Papers *

*Climate Change, Uncertainty, and Strategic Management***

*January **27th** - February 1st, 2008
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich (Switzerland)*

Climate change is a major issue facing the world in the 21st century.
Drastic reductions of greenhouse gas emissions are crucial for stabilizing
the world's ecosystems. The business sector needs to mitigate the sources of
climate change and adapt to its effects even while both its magnitude and
economic implications are uncertain. Consequently, the appropriate management
of carbon resources becomes a cornerstone of competitive strategy.

The aim of the annual ETH PhD-Academy is to promote excellent PhD research
in the area of sustainability and technology and to develop responsible
leaders for tomorrow. While the 2008 academy focuses on climate change, it
is also open to PhD students working on similar challenges with respect to
environmental sustainability. The first four days of the academy focus on
improving the research design and methodology of participants' PhD projects.
One additional day will be reserved for discussions with leading business
representatives. We invite PhD students with a background in strategic
management, technology/innovation management, or institutional change to
participate in the academy. Besides content-related discussions, students
will get valuable feedback from their peers and three well-respected
professors:

§ *Prof. Dr. **Pratima Bansal**
*Shurniak Professor in International Business, Richard Ivey School of
Business, University of Western Ontario, Canada.

§ *Prof. Dr. **Andrew Griffiths**
*Professor for Strategy and Sustainability, UQ Business School, University
of Queensland, Australia.**

§ *Prof. Dr. Volker Hoffmann
*Professor for Sustainability and Technology, ETH Zurich, Switzerland.**

Papers should focus on – but are not limited to – the following topics:

§ Corporate strategy and investment decisions under uncertainty

§ Clean technologies and innovation strategies

§ Carbon risk assessment & analysis

§ Future development of climate regulation & carbon markets

§ Corporate perceptions of and adaptation to climate change
