The triumph of emptiness.
Grandiosity and marginalization of reality
in corporate life.
Conference of Prof. Mats Alvesson (University of Lünd, Sweden)
Tuesday 16 December 2014
In order to meet the various challenges of current times (circular economy, industrial ecology...), our business practices must change and become more sustainable.
Will the management methods that we currently apply and teach make such a change possible? “No”, answers Mats Alvesson. His analysis shows how far our companies' daily life appears to be from the surrounding reality and his contribution constitutes a salutary step backwards in our disturbed times.
