Details and registration here for the Globes Israel Business Conference on December 6 and 7 at the Tel Aviv David Intercontinental Hotel.
No economic system gives as much freedom for entrepreneurship and innovation as the capitalist system. In its current format, however, capitalism also reflects the negative side of human nature: greed, belligerence, and harm to the public and the earth. Global changes in the 21st century pose challenges to the business community requiring that it chart a new course. The sated Western world has given birth to a millennium generation that expects businesses to behave ethically, demands a rewarding and meaningful work life, and is well acquainted with its power and value as both employee and consumer.
There are companies in the world that act according to a new revised model of capitalism. They operate with concern and care for all the people involved with them, enabling capitalism to leverage its creative capabilities and human cooperation. As a result, they are achieving substantial economic success.
Is the business community in Israel open to following the example of those companies? Is the Israeli DNA compatible with this mode of behavior? A session on this subject will be held at the 2015 Globes Israel Business Conference, at which the conscious capitalism model will be launched, with the participation of senior figures in the economy and the business sector.
Opening lecture: Prof. Raj Sisodia, global opinion leader and cofounder of the Conscious Capitalism organization
