    Beyond Shareholder Primacy: Bringing the World Inside

     

    Please join Stuart Hart, Professor in Residence at the University of Michigan's Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise, with Sandra Waddock for an Intellectual Shamans Webinar on January 24, 2025, at noon Eastern US.

     

    Beyond Shareholder Primacy: Bringing the World Inside

    In this webinar, Stu Hart will present some of the ideas from his new book, Beyond Shareholder Primacy: Remaking Capitalism for a Sustainable Future, with a focus on the root cause of our current polycrisis-the "source code" for capitalism itself. As it turns out, history provides surprising reasons for hope since capitalism has reinvented itself at least twice before and is now poised for a third major reformation-the transformation to truly Sustainable Capitalism. Indeed, there are myriad programs, frameworks, initiatives, and organizations that have emerged over the past thirty years aimed addressing the "sustainability" problem in one manner or another. What is needed is an integrative movement to harness this "blessed unrest" and build the necessary momentum for transformation. He will describe efforts to catalyze such a movement though a new initiative called Bringing the World Inside.

     

    Biography

    Stuart L. Hart is Professor in Residence at the University of Michigan's Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise. He was the founder of the Erb Institute's dual master's program in the early 1990s and then went on to hold faculty positions and launch centers for sustainable business at the University of North Carolina's Kenan-Flagler Business School and Cornell University's Johnson School of Management, where he is S.C. Johnson Professor Emeritus. Most recently, Hart was Professor and Steven Grossman Endowed Chair in Sustainable Business at the University of Vermont's Grossman School of Business where he was co-founder and director of the school's new Sustainable Innovation MBA Program and still serves as Distinguished Fellow.

     

    Hart is one of the world's top authorities on the implications of environment and poverty for business strategy having published more than 100 papers and authored or edited nine books with over 50,000 Google Scholar citations. His article "Beyond Greening: Strategies for a Sustainable World" won the McKinsey Award for Best Article in the Harvard Business Review for 1997 and helped launch the movement for corporate sustainability. With C.K. Prahalad, Hart also wrote the path-breaking 2002 article "The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid," which provided the first articulation of how business could profitably serve the needs of the four billion poor in the developing world. His best-selling book, Capitalism at the Crossroads, published in 2005 was selected by Cambridge University as one of the top 50 books on sustainability of all-time; the third edition of the book was published in 2010. His new book, Beyond Shareholder Primacy: Remaking Capitalism for a Sustainable Future, was published by Stanford Business Books in April 2024.
