Visiting Author to Discuss Ownership
Visiting author and Tellus Institute fellow Marjorie Kelly will give an all-campus talk at 3:30 p.m. Feb. 28 in Violette Hall 1010.
Kelly’s presentation is entitled “From English Major to Ownership Design Consultant: How I found my way from Hemingway to narrative nonfiction to business consulting, and made a living (and had a blast) along the way.” It will be followed by a signing of her latest book, “Owning Our Future: The Emerging Ownership Revolution.”
Kelly’s insights are the result of study at the University of Missouri School of Journalism and a 20-year presidency of the Journal of Business Ethics. Both realistic and revolutionary, conscientious and exceedingly relevant, author Michael Shuman declares that, “anyone who cares enough about capitalism to save it from its worst excesses should read this book. Marjorie Kelly demonstrates convincingly that ownership by employees, community residents, and mission-driven charities, rather than by absentee shareholders, is the key to world class performance.”
Stocked with solutions both ethically and fiscally profitable, Kelly emerges as an example of ingenuity in an increasingly competitive market and world.
This event is sponsored by the School of Business, the departments of English and Linguistics and Interdisciplinary Studies, and the Writing Across the Curriculum Committee.
