The Centre for Building Sustainable Value at the Richard Ivey School of Business presents economist David Korten, a former Harvard Business School professor and activist, who took on the system of corporate-led economic globalization through his international best-sellers When Corporations Rule the World and The Great Turning. Korten will speak 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 28 in Room 1R40, Ivey.
A leading contributor to the debate on corporate globalization, Korten will share insights from his new groundbreaking and widely acclaimed book, Agenda for a New Economy. He identifies the deeper sources of the failure and outlines an agenda to create a shift in values from money to life and a shift in the locus of power from global financial markets to local communities.
Enjoy a presentation by Korten, the dialogue between Korten and Ivey professor Tima Bansal, Centre for Building Sustainable Value director, and be prepared to ask your own questions and impose your own challenges.
