Edward Freeman, Elis and Signe Olsson Professor of Business Administration, UVA Darden School of Business. In this session, we will explore how 21st Century businesses have adopted the idea that the purpose of business can be greater than just making profits. It explores the flaws in an old narrative of business that is set deeply in society. Through the case study we examine how businesses can begin to see themselves as subject to societal forces as well as market forces.
