As part of our Getting on Board series, join us for a book talk with Sir John Kay on the current state of corporations, how things have changed and what the future holds.

The Corporation in the 21st Century is a radical reappraisal of the nature and activities of business—what it is for and how it works.  The book was named a “Best Book of 2025” by The Economist and shortlisted for the 2024 Financial Times and Schroders Business “Book of the Year” Award.

During this discussion, Sir John Kay will discuss key themes from his book, including:

  • Forces shaping modern corporations: geopolitics and technology
  • Capital as a service
  • Artificial Intelligence and corporations
  • How directors, other corporate stewards and advisers should think about corporations and these differences and their duties

Sir John Kay is a noted economist whose career has spanned the academic world, business and finance, and public affairs. He has held chairs at LBS, Oxford and LSE, and is a Fellow of St John’s College, Oxford.
