Scholarship and practice are both increasingly engaging with justice in the face of a wide range of social, economic, and environmental harms, with most scholars theorizing in the realms of philosophy, politics, and legal studies. However, management research on justice up to this point has primarily only focused on justice within the boundaries of organizations. In this symposium, we provide an opportunity for management scholars to expand their understanding of justice and consider a few avenues for innovation. We organize our symposium around a systematic and integrative review of justice, with the following three empirical presentations each exemplifying one of the review’s emergent insights for innovative research. Our discussant will close the symposium by briefly engaging the presenters and audience in a conversation around the role of business in advancing a more just future.
