Abstract
In 2009, the Institute for Global Responsibility of Audencia Nantes School of Management organised a colloquium that brought together researchers from different disciplines and management fields on the topic of stakeholder engagement. The participating researchers were then asked to review their communications with a view to preparing this special file of the Future Review Management, the aim of which is to introduce readers to the main considerations linked to stakeholder engagement and to illustrate how they can contribute in the French and Belgian context to academic debates, pedagogy and practices within and between organisations, thus creating the basis for future developments.
