How did business historically respond to global upheaval? Would they survive today’s?
Join former MP, Tom Levitt, and and businessman, academic and esteemed advisor to Governments around the world, Sir John Kay, with Chair of Fellows at Radix Big Tent, Vicky Pryce, in conversation about Tom’s new book The Business of History at 6:00pm on Wednesday 4th June for a Radix Big Tent Meet the Leaders interactive webinar where guests will be encouraged to contribute.
Tom’s new book takes a fresh look at 100 years of corporate evolution, collapse and resilience. A century ago, WH Beable wrote Romance of Great Business, a love letter to 32 iconic British companies. Tom has revisited those stories, extending them into the present day—with all the twists Beable left out, from fraud and failure to environmental recklessness and even murder. How did the businesses evolve, how can they best help us rebuild the planet and, importantly, why did some survive and not others?
John’s original and brilliant insights into business put him in a unique position to respond to Tom; his recently published book The Corporation in the 21st Century: Why (almost) everything we are told about business is wrong redefines our understanding of successful commercial activity and the corporation.
Upon registration, you will be able to leave any questions or comments for Duncan and Vicky to review during the webinar. These will be shared with them beforehand. Please note you will also be able to ask questions via the chat throughout the event.
