Business expert: American corporations vanishing

What lies ahead in a world with fewer major American corporations? And, what does their diminished number mean for questions of inequality, job creation and the stock market? 

Jerry Davis, professor of management and organizations from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, will answers these questions during a presentation September 26 at Grand Valley. 

The event, sponsored by Grand Valley's Koeze Business Ethics Initiative in the Seidman College of Business, will run from 6-7:20 p.m. in the GR Press Auditorium on the 2nd floor of the Eberhard Center on the Pew Grand Rapids Campus.

Davis will discuss his new book on the “disappearance” of corporations called, The Vanishing American Corporation and the Hazards of the New Economy. It has been called a “gut-wrenching, mind-blowing picture of the Uberized society we are blindly constructing.”
