UTSpeaks public lecture: Changing Capitalism

14 October 2014

Profit and growth are the mantras of consumer capitalist economy. But how can you keep growing and be profitable in a world of limited space, limited resources, limited political will and unlimited population growth? A public lecture in the UTSpeaks series threw down the gauntlet on the notion that our only option is business as usual.  With a planet under pressure must our business models be remade?

With three eminent speakers, the lecture considered the challenges faced by large and small businesses in order to operate profitably in an increasingly complex and constrained world. It explored how some truly innovative companies are not only rethinking business but also reaping rich rewards.
