Capitalism in the New Century: The Essential Role of Business in Ensuring its Survival (CEO Forum)

5/15/2015

 
The New England Legal Foundation held it's 18th CEO Forum on May 14, 2015. The aim of this event is to present a substantive discussion on a topic of vital importance for the New England legal and business communities that will advance debate and awareness.

The 2015 Forum featured a panel discussion led by Joseph L. Bower, Donald K. David Professor of Business Administration, Emeritus, at Harvard Business School. The discussion was based on extensive global research described in the book that Professor Bower and two of his Harvard Business School colleagues published in 2011 entitled Capitalism at Risk: Rethinking the Role of Business. The conversation focused on the threats to market capitalism and the need for business to step up to meet these threats and save the capitalist engine of prosperity for future generations. The panelists shared examples of how their companies are tackling these issues.

Co-Chaired by:
Nelson G. Apjohn, Nutter McClennen & Fish LLP
Pauline M. Booth, Duff & Phelps, LLC
