Congratulations to Martin Schleper and his co-authors for being selected by the editorial team as the 2017 Outstanding Paper and winners of the "Emerald Literati Network Award for Excellence 2017" for the article Supplier development for sustainability: contextual barriers in global supply chain in the International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Managment.

As part of the call for papers on Modern slavery in business: Interdisciplinary perspectives on the 'shadow economy' Nottingham University Business School will host a manuscript workshop to be facilitated by the Special Issue editors and is free to attend.

Authors are invited to present and discuss their papers during the workshop and to receive feedback for further improvement of their manuscripts.  To be considered for the workshop, authors will need to submit a short paper (max. 10 double-spaced pages, excluding references and exhibits) to karen.maltby@nottingham.ac.uk by 5th May 2017.

Please note that acceptance for presentation at the workshop does not guarantee acceptance of the paper for publication in Business & Society.  Also that a submission of a short paper is not a precondition for the submission of the full paper to the Special Issue.
