🤯 Is your mental map of the business world dangerously outdated? What if the core principles you rely on – shareholder value, the nature of capital, even the definition of a 'corporation' – are leading you astray in the 21st century?
Join us on CEO's Library as we unpack John Kay's provocative masterpiece, "The Corporation in the 21st Century." Kay argues, compellingly, that *almost everything* we think we know about business is wrong. We're using old maps for a radically new world. 🗺️➡️🌍
Discover:
* Why giants like GM and Sears crumbled, and why today's tech titans might be next.
* The surprising truth about "shareholder value" – potentially the dumbest idea in business? 🤔 (Even Jack Welch eventually agreed!)
* The *real* source of competitive advantage today (Hint: It's not factories or machines).
* How to harness the power of "economic rent" ethically and effectively. 💡
* Why understanding "Capital as a Service" and the "Hollow Corporation" is crucial for your strategy.
