CONVERSATION WITH PROFESSOR JAGDISH N. SHETH
Socio-economic disparities, global pandemics, technological advances and climatic changes are transforming ‘People, Work and Society’ in unprecedented ways. Businesses are among the primary drivers of such transformation. Hence, a critical issue concerns the role that businesses, in particular Marketers, can, should and must play ethically as value creating agents, in order to achieve a sustainable ‘People, Work and Society’ triad. Our conversation with Professor Sheth will therefore explore this issue in more detail.
