LOOKING FOR NEW HORIZONS: THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
The linear economy was highly successful in delivering economic development during the 20th century. However, the global trends indicate that the traditional linear model is no longer able to produce economic growth, therefore it emerges a strong need for alternative approaches that can work in the long run.
The 20th century’s economy evolved and diversified based on one fundamental characteristic - a linear model of consumption, “take-make-dispose” pattern of economic behaviour. In the context of resources’ scarcity this model is no longer sustainable in the future. Therefore, a new approach is required.
The circular economy model is a restorative or regenerative by design and intent, all products, components and materials are kept at their highest value throughout their life cycle. Therefore, circular economy rests on three key principles: preserve and enhance natural capital, optimize yields from resources in use, and foster system effectiveness (minimize negative externalities).
Shifting towards a new model of economic development is a transitional process with gains and losses, it will involve considerable transition costs but it could create opportunities for economic and industrial renewal if it is a well-managed process.
The transition to a circular economy is a complex process involving fundamental changes to production-consumption systems that affect the environment. These include financing mechanisms, consumer behaviour, government intervention such as tax policy, and technological, social and business innovation.
Managing the transition will also require a better understanding of broad societal trends and the drivers of production and consumption patterns.
Also, the circular economy is gaining attention in Europe and around the world as a potential way for our society to increase prosperity, while reducing dependence on primary materials and energy.
"With its system-wide perspective, the circular economy has the potential to help us make better decisions about resource use, design out waste, provide added value for business, and proceed along a secure route to society-wide prosperity and environmental sustainability for future generations. Most importantly, under the right rules, the circular economy can shift the economic mix to increase the number of jobs at the same time. "
Recently, many companies have also noticed that the traditional linear system increases their exposure to risks, most notably higher resource prices and supply disruptions. More and more businesses feel blocked between rising and less predictable prices in resource markets on the one hand and high competition and stagnating demand for certain sectors on the other. In this context, the need for a new and more rewarding business model emerged. Looking to the future, any business model should integrate new technologies able to increase resource efficiency, foster innovation and creativity for better economic outcomes and release positive effects on employment.
Different academic studies indicate the need of more research on employment effects occurring in the case that a circular economy is implemented. This impact on employment is largely attributable to increased spending fueled by the lower prices expected across sectors and to the labour-intensity of recycling activities and higher skilled jobs in remanufacturing. But not all would benefit from the economy-wide impact of the circular model on growth and employment. Some companies, sectors, and employment segments are likely not to act quickly enough and would lose out. If European leaders decided to shift towards a more circular economy, managing the transition would have to be a top priority. A circular economy could greatly benefit the environment and boost competitiveness and resilience.
The future seems to be very promising: “Global trends are providing a fertile environment for a shift in the economy, which could see growth gradually being decoupled from the consumption of finite resources and its associated negative externalities” says Andrew Morlet, CEO The Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
"... Instead of maximize utility, we should try minimize future regret ... the solution is in the field of ethics rather than the economy" Nicolas Georgescu-Roegen

RETHINKING THE GLOBAL ECONOMY
Last year brought the world's attention more than ever to the imperative issue of sustainable development. The UN Sustainable Development Summit offered countries the opportunity to set up a set of goals to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda. A clear conclusion emerged: everyone needs to do their part: governments, the private sector, civil society and people like you.
It is time to join efforts to transform our world and to rethink the global economy in a sustainable way. Countries are determined to take the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path.
Protecting our planet, and still looking for prosperity seems to be possible only by fostering peaceful, just and inclusive societies free from fear and violence as a consequence of a Global Partnership for Sustainable Development. One would argue that sustainable development goals are too ambitious in an unstable and vulnerable world: poverty is still hurting many countries, climate change concern is constantly growing but the fast economic growth of BRICs countries reveals the fact that there are many who do not seem to care about it.
The message at the end of the summit was clear: it is vital to revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, based on a spirit of strengthened global solidarity, focused in particular on the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable and with the participation of all countries, all stakeholders and all people.
The recently released 2015 Human Development Report tries to make sense of our changing world. It is essentially about finding ways to improve the wellbeing of people from all over the world. Development is about enlarging people's choices-focusing broadly on the richness of human lives rather than narrowly on the richness of economies.
Looking at The Human Development Index calculated based on components such as: a long and healthy life, knowledge and a decent standard of living- reveals that world inequalities still affect a significant percentage of people. From Norway with a HDI index of 0.944 being first on the list of Very High Human Development (49 countries included) to the Romanian HDI index of 0.793 included in the group of High Human Development (55 countries) and these differences have engendered inequalities which urges a rethinking of the global economy.
In a globalised world, work is a major foundation for both the richness of economies and the richness of human lives, but it has a tendency to be conceptualized in economic terms rather than in human development terms. Considerable challenges remain, from persistent poverty and grinding inequalities to climate change and environmental sustainability in general, and to conflict and instability. Globalization has generated gains for some and losses for others.
The world is meeting at a time of immense challenges to sustainable development, the world of work, driven by globalization and technological revolution, is undergoing rapid changes. Today's people are living longer and they are active longer in their elderly years and at the same time the workforce productivity has increased, driven by the digital revolution. Therefore, work is a fundamental dynamic driver for enhancing human development and generates wellbeing for the individual, families and society as a whole.
Globalization as a phenomenon implies an interconnected world across environments, societies and economies. Globalization is a fact of life even more so due to its dynamic and multifaceted nature. Multiplicity, diversity, interdependence, and flows of influence are common themes associated with globalization.
From an environmental perspective, globalization produces both negative and positive pressures on governance. Economic globalization tremendously impacts environmental processes at the local, regional, national and global level. By integrating far-flung markets, globalization may intensify the use and depletion of natural resources, increase waste production, and lead to a "race to the bottom" as capital moves globally to countries and locations that have less stringent environmental standards. Global economic development, urbanization, our changing lifestyles and a technology-driven society have resulted in new environmental challenges.
Doing business in a globalized world means more than looking for profit, entrepreneurs must enhance creativity and invest in innovative technologies and products, while competitiveness is driven to a whole other level. Only flexible and highly adaptive companies are still "sailing" on a tumultuous sea - the global economy.
Rethinking global economy is more than a desire; it should be a set of coherent and global measures able to generate a radical transformation.
Questions such as: What are the global challenges and how can they be addressed? How can sustainable development be achieved? What does doing business mean in today's globalized economy? Who are the winners and losers in the race for a better life? What are the drivers of Human Development and why is the Global Partnership for Development important in order to make it work? To what extent can academia step out of its "ivory tower" to play a supportive role in assisting policy makers design effective strategies for the future, so as to create a better life for us?

DEVELOPMENT FOR A BETTER LIFE
Exceptional deadline extension on the request of potential participants: 10 nov. 2015
Conference Agenda – first draft
Today, humanity is facing various challenges when it comes to the development level in different countries or regions. The global economy is bouncing back from a serious crisis, yet still struggling with the unpredictable reminiscences of the crisis.
Restarting the economic growth is vital for the global development. But when it comes to “development”, are we sure what it really means with respect to different countries? World Bank experts define development through a set of indicators of wealth which reflect mainly the quantity of resources, resource allocation, the effect of production and consumption on people’s environment and the like. Different countries have different visions on how to increase the national wealth, therefore the interest in setting development policies may vary from region to region, from country to country. Development is also related directly to people's quality of life: access to education and health care services, employment opportunities, availability of clean air and safe drinking water, the threat of crime and so on.
A sustainable economic growth must be nourished by the fruits of human development such as improvements in human capital along with opportunities for its efficient use: more and better jobs, better conditions for encouraging new and innovative business and greater democracy at all levels of decision-making . The interdependency between sustainable economic growth and human development is more than obvious, complex and diverse relationships are constantly set, the prerequisites for economic growth or human development are established, and the list is still open. Investing in human capital development is one of the conditions that enable economic growth.
“Talent, not capital, will be the key factor linking innovation, competitiveness and growth in the 21st century” says Klaus Schwab, Founder of World Economic Forum. Recent studies show that a third of the employers globally are facing difficulties in finding talents and nearly half of the talent shortage is expected to have a negative impact on their business results. Yet the world’s pool of latent talent is enormous. To unlock it, governments, business leaders, educational institutions and individuals must each understand better the global talent value chain. Business, in particular, must re-think its role as a consumer of ‘ready-made’ human capital to proactively seek out, engage and develop people’s potential.
The 2nd Edition of the International Conference on Economic Sciences and Business Administration (ICESBA2015) aims at creating a discussion arena for academics and business representatives who are interested in bringing their knowledge and expertise to create a “better life” for all of us. The scientific event will gravitate from general questions as “what are the prospects for humanity?” and “what are the core global challenges for humanity?” to more narrowed ones as: business intelligence and the current top business trends, training human capital able to generate innovation-driven businesses, new types of business ecosystems, identifying a new type of leaders able to sustain ethical business.
Promoting social change means enabling human development through: better health services, easy access to education, new employment opportunities, democracy and free movement and security.
Nevertheless, a better life becomes a measurable concept . Better Life Index is calculated for a limited number of countries, and the key factors for a better life seem to be: Housing, Income, Jobs, Community, Education, Environment, Civic Engagement, Health, Life Satisfaction, Safety, Work-Life Balance.
Also, the development of the human capital can be estimated using objective measurements such as Human Capital Index – developed to link education and employment with the distance to the ideal state.
So, a legitimate question arises “Are the desired changes possible in order to achieve a better life for all? ” And that leads to the next question “Is any evidence of effective actions and policies developed at political level? ” To what extent may academia play a supportive role in assisting policymakers design effective strategies for the future, able to create a better life for us?
The International Conference on Economic Sciences and Business Administration (ICESBA 2015) will bring together academics and practitioners from various countries and environments sharing research interests in the main topic of the conference.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Why another conference?
Today’s economic world is facing rapid changes which require an increased adaptability of business as much as developing innovative management and marketing strategies.
World Economy is not yet out of crisis,that is a fact...a long way to go until recovery is in place. The eighth Millennium Development Goals, as they were stated in the UN Declaration (8th UN plenary meeting, Sept.2000), aim to create a better world in the new millennium. Looking closely, eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, accessibility to a better primary education, reduce child mortality or ensure environmental sustainability are not possible in the absence of a healthy global economy.
Intensive debates have been taking place all over the world: What can be done? A sustainable growth is desired, and EU 2020 strategy is focusing on smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
Why smart growth? More effective investments in education, research and innovation will create new economic “horizons”: more skilled workers to provide for better usage of research results in increasing business economic performances. These are the premises to eradicate poverty, to improve access to health care services and to sustain a sustainable economic growth on the long run.
Why sustainable growth? Humankind has been facing, more and more in the past recent years, dramatic environmental changes and now more than ever it is time to act for a low-carbon economy. Is it possible? Are the green technologies too expensive to be adopted extensively? Are business representatives willing to give up their profit in order to contribute to a “better” world? Sustainable growth means also to improve the business environment, in particular for SMEs and give them an additional competitive advantage.
Why inclusive growth? Inclusive growth can be achieved through a better employment rate: more and better jobs for women, young people and older workers. It is also highly desirable to modernize labour markets and welfare systems in order to benefit a larger EU population.
What are we offering you?
The International Conference on Economic Sciences and Business Administration (ICESBA 2014) aims at offering a discussion forum on the most intriguing economic challenges of today.
The conference emerged from the need to share ideas and to create an interdisciplinary international network able to promote interdisciplinary research that tackles challenges of world economy.
The conference will bring together academics and practitioners from various countries and environments sharing research interests in applied economics and finance. Contributions with both a theoretical and empirical focus are welcome.
We are welcoming papers in the following fields: Economics, Experimental Economics, Applied Macroeconomics, Applied Labour and Demographic and Social Economics, Corporate Social Responsibility, Environmental Economics, Management, Marketing, Behavioural Economics, Accounting & Finance, Corporate finance - Financial decision-making process. No matter what generic topic will address the paper, the participants are required to identify innovative solutions to contribute at smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
The organizers encourage academics and business leaders to hold dedicated panels on interesting topics. Panel chairs should submit a short description of topics included in their panel. The proposed panels should not be too general, but not highly specialized either, thus being able to attract persons with similar interests.
The deadline for panel proposal submission is 15th of June, 2014.
Publishing opportunities
Authors are invited to submit their abstracts and after acceptance, based on the peer-review process results, the authors will be notified to submit their full paper.
