Description

This week, PhD candidates Fergus and Caroline are joined by Shane Hamilton, Reader in Strategy, Management and Society at the University of York. They discuss his recent paper, “The Persistence of Glyphosate: Monsanto’s Strategic Maintenance of Roundup, the World’s Most Enduring Herbicide Technology.” The conversation explores the history of Monsanto’s production of glyphosate—better known by its commercial name, Roundup—and examines how the agrochemical company strategically maintained its dominance in the global herbicide market.
