Ethics in/of business and professional communication
11.07.2018-13.07.2018

This conference addresses the issue of ethics - its expression as well 
as its legitimization - from a multidisciplinary approach, inviting 
proposals from the fields of discourse analysis, (applied) linguistics, 
communication studies, organizational scholarship, management studies, 
business communication training and coaching, and further, 
practice-related areas, like marketing, branding, customer service 
industry, financial studies and similar.

We invite scholars and practitioners to address questions regarding

the production, and interpretation of texts and interactions from an 
ethical perspective,
the use (or abuse) of communicative strategies and tactics in

corporate, political or media contexts.
