Global growth and poverty expert Aneel Karnani will assess corporate responsibility for larger social goals when he delivers the 18th annual Chung-Watson Lecture.
Karnani’s lecture is titled “Doing Well by Doing Good: The Grand Illusion.” He will argue that most big societal problems are linked to market failures, that managers cannot be relied on to maximize social welfare and that governments must intervene to compel corporations to support the public good.
A five-time recipient of the University of Michigan’s Teaching Excellence Award, Karnani lectures worldwide and is the author of Fighting Poverty Together: Rethinking Strategies for Business, Governments, and Civil Society to Reduce Poverty. He has held teaching appointments at universities in the U.S., England, France, China, India, Thailand and Costa Rica. Prior to joining the University of Michigan's faculty in 1980, Karnani earned his doctoral degree from the Harvard Business School.
