"The new story of business: How purpose and values are going head-to-head with profits."
There is a revolution going on in business. The old narrative of business as the physics of money, concerned mostly with profits is rapidly becoming less useful. A new narrative is emerging that puts purpose, values, stakeholders, sustainability, and other issues on a par with profitability. In this ESMT Open Lecture, Prof. Freeman will present several principles underlying this new story of business and iconic examples demonstrating this new narrative.
Speaker: R. Edward Freeman, Elis and Signe Olsson Professor of Business Administration and Academic Director, Business Roundtable Institute for Corporate Ethics, Darden School of Business, University of Virginia
Moderator: CB Bhattacharya, Professor of Marketing, Pietro Ferrero Chair in Sustainability, and Founding Director of the Center for Sustainable Business, ESMT Berlin
