Business practitioners, politicians, and academics have increasingly noted the phenomenon of large corporations and their leaders embracing socially progressive public stances, organizational practices, and symbolism, referred to by some as “Woke Capitalism.” This phenomenon has been hotly contested in both the business and political realms. The proposed panel symposium will bring together scholars from diverse backgrounds and perspectives to discuss and potentially debate different aspects of “Woke Capitalism.”
