Description1030-1130, Thursday 3 October 2024 | Watershed, Bristol Join John Kay as he discusses his book, The Corporation in the 21st Century, where he shows how products and production have dematerialised. The goods and services provided by the leading companies of the 21st century appear on your screen, fit in your pocket, or occupy your head. Ownership of the means of production is a redundant concept. Workers are the means of production; increasingly, they take the plant home. Capital is a service bought from a specialist supplier with little influence over customer businesses. John Kay's incisive overhaul of our ideas about business redefines our understanding of successful commercial activity and the corporation - and describes how we have come to 'love the product' as we 'hate the producer’.
