A team of University of Waterloo students and faculty have been recognized at the 2020 Administrative Science Association of Canada (ASAC) conference for their paper on impact investing.
SEED doctoral candidate Truzaar Dordi, SERS doctoral candidate Phoebe Stephens, and SEED professors Sean Geobey and Olaf Weber were awarded the Best Paper Award in the Social Responsibility Division for their article "Delineating the Motivations and Processes of Impact Investing". Their study applies advancements in quantitative textual analysis to examine how researchers appear to differentiate the relatively nascent study of impact investing from more established fields of responsible and ethical investing.
ASAC is a professional society of those interested in the scholarship, teaching, and practice of management. The theme of this years conference is “Sea of Change: Addressing Demographic, Cultural and Societal Changes in Business”. Due to current circumstances, ASAC held its annual conference virtually this year from June 12 to June 15, 2020.
Congratulations from SEED!
