Student Voice 2023 – Talent & Impact!

The CoBS student CSR article competition 2023

The winners and finalists of the 2023 Council on Business & Society Student CSR article competition are now officially nominated. Warm thanks to all the students and their submissions throughout the member schools of the CoBS for their effort, commitment, enthusiasm and talent. This year’s competition saw an extremely high level of quality and maturity in the articles – something that made the juries’ selection all the more difficult. Congratulations to the winners, runners-up and finalists. And finally, a thank you to all the staff and faculty teams within the CoBS Schools for their expert coordination and time spent on the juries.

The Prizes

  • A €500 equiv. cash prize for the winning article in each CoBS member school

  • Winners, runners-up and finalists receive Council on Business & Society branded goodies

  • Winner, runner-up and finalist articles will be published in June’s special issue of Global Voice magazine next to faculty research insights

  • Winner, runner-up and finalist articles will be posted on CoBS Insights, the Council’s blog with a global audience

  • A Council on Business & Society Participant, Finalist, Runner-up, Winner certificate.

The 2023 Competition Topics

  • What are the potential negative and positive academic impacts of ChatGPT, and how should universities manage this issue?

  • Inflation is back: Winners, losers and new tensions in society.

  • After decades of increasing globalization both in trade, capital flows but even people to people movements, it seems the trend has turned towards deglobalization. Recently, the COVID pandemic, Sino-US trade friction, and the Russia-Ukraine Crisis, have caused the trend in deglobalization to grow further. What is the future of Multinational corporations (MNCs)? How will MNCs continue their social value creation (e.g. poverty alleviation, and net-zero carbon emissions) in the context of deglobalization?

  • How might we leverage innovation in order to enhance the business value of functional diversity? 

  • How might retail companies redesign their supply chain and business models so that they operate as profitable regenerative businesses?

  • We have passed an inflection point with AI so that it is already pervasive. How can governments and businesses balance the need for innovation, with all of its potential for raising productivity, with the need to manage wellbeing, prevent unjust inequalities, and ensure environmental stewardship?

  • According to the Oxfam presentation at the WEF Davos Forum in 2022, "inequality is contributing to the death of at least 21,000 people each day, or one person every four seconds. This is a conservative finding based on deaths globally from lack of access to healthcare, gender-based violence, hunger, and climate breakdown". Surprisingly, "billionaires’ wealth has risen more since COVID-19 began than it has in the last 14 years". What can Business Schools do to address this situation?

  • Is access to energy a human rights issue? Globally, can a market-based energy system that aims to produce and sell as much fuel as possible be sustained?​
