Description

Just as the industrial revolution changed the way people work, so has the rise of digital technology—leading to the radical reorganization of business models and workplaces, as well as the geographical redistribution of labor and services. This program inquires into 21st-century work paradigms, presenting commentary from scholars and business leaders about what it means to be an employee today—and what it will mean in the future. Patricia Kelso of the Kelso Institute explains the concepts behind ESOPS, while Verna Allee, author of The Future of Knowledge, and Lynne Twist, author of The Soul of Money, elaborate on new relationships between labor and capital. Paul Millman, CEO of Chroma Technology, discusses the benefits of employee ownership. (28 minutes)
