Colin Mayer

Colin Mayer, Emeritus Professor of Management Studies at Oxford, dives into how capitalism can address looming global crises. He critiques the misconception that profit must come from harm, proposing a moral business ethic of 'profit without harm.' Mayer contrasts this with traditional views of shareholder value, emphasizing corporate accountability. He discusses models like Denmark's enterprise foundations that align ownership with societal benefits and highlights the role of technology in enhancing corporate transparency. Excitingly, he advocates for reshaping business education to prioritize purpose-driven curricula.
