This conference focuses on papers that cover the different scales of collective action by employers, as well as contributions examining employers’ organizations in both developed and emerging economies. Contributions to the conference are also strongly encouraged to contribute to theory development. The study of employers’ organizations is pertinent to a broad range of theory, including theories of collective action, institutional political economy in the Varieties of Capitalism tradition, the theory of elites, and to the emerging theoretical work on private, voluntary forms of regulation. Conference submissions that forge a strong connection to these or other bodies of theory are particularly welcome. The Human Resource Management Journal (HRMJ) is committed to publishing a selection of papers from the conference.
