Exploring the Role of EO in Good Growth

Professor Michie is a respected researcher and author on all things employee ownership.

He recently published a major report on mutuals, ‘People, Place and the Economy: the Social Value of Mutuals’ and is strongly connected to the government’s policy conversation on mutuals.

He’ll examine the long-standing challenges facing the UK economy, the global pressures shaping those challenges, and the opportunities to build a more socially and environmentally sustainable path ahead.

He’ll also consider the role employee ownership can play in creating a more resilient economy, rewarding work, stronger social cohesion and greater individual wellbeing.

Whether you’re a business leader, employee owner, policymaker, economist, student, researcher or have an interest in responsible business, economic renewable, and social enterprise, this lecture is a vital conversation to be part of.

The lecture is also hosted alongside the Rutgers/Kellogg employee ownership research conference, which includes announcing he winner of the Nigel Mason Award for excellence in EO research.
