J.-C. Spender

Retired nuclear engineer, entrepreneur and business school Dean. My writing is focused on management for I think firms are one of our most significant economic and social inventions- it follows that managing them is pivotal to our politics and way of life. This is not all good - and managers sometimes forget the nature and limits to their power and contribution. The root problem - as Coase reminded us - is that we do not really understand firms or managing them, Everything I have written - and intend to write - is to help illuminate the firm's central significance and managers' place in our socio-economy.
