Thought Leadership Symposium: “The Future of Economics and Management”. Hosted by the Catholic University of Milan, EABIS organises an in-depth, cross-disciplinary symposium to debate “The Future of Economics and Management in a Post-Crisis World”.
- How significant is the current crisis for economics?
- Must we abandon the equilibrium-based paradigm of economics?
- Should economics remain at the heart of the business curriculum given what many now regard as its unrealistic assumptions about human nature?
- How should economics and management incorporate issues of global sustainability and global governance?
- What does all this mean for strategy and management?
These are but some of the questions to be discusses at the Symposium, EABIS is convening on April 15-16. Including academics, practitioners and chief economists, our objective is to connect macro-economic perspectives with corporate governance, corporate strategy and management in a forward-looking, balanced, reflective debate.

Robert Grant, Chair Strategic Management, Bocconi University;
