Erb Institute Colloquium
A bi-weekly research seminar featuring the latest insights and state of the art knowledge in the broad field of sustainable enterprise. Faculty spanning Economists, Legal and Management Scholars as well as Natural Scientists from both within U of M and other leading Institutions present and discuss their work in an interdisciplinary and interactive framework. The general structure of the seminar allows the speaker 45 minutes, then an assigned discussant from a different discipline adds comments and ideas, followed by general discussion. In our experience, the Colloquium proves to be a valuable source of new ideas for faculty, graduate students and practitioners alike. Past speakers have included such scholars as Geoffrey Heal, Stuart Hart, Jim Walsh, Steve Salant, Tima Bansal, Mike Lenox, Magali Delmas, John Maxwell, Andy King, Mike Toffel, David Popp, Madhu Khanna, and Jay Golden.
