CBS in October
What value do socio-economic companies create?
Thursday 5 October, 15:00 to 17:00, Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, “Skoven” B3.19-24 (Center for Business Development and Management)
Ballast CPH develops products that diffuse knowledge of visually handicap. The Non-Violence Project educates young people in how to solve conflicts without violence. And a poet brands himself as one who tells lies about old paintings to bring art back to the people. The three companies are a part of the meeting place for socio-economic companies called KPH Projects. What value do the socio-economic companies have? How can municipalities best create good conditions for their activities? The manager of KPH Projects and lecturer Niels Thygesen at the Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy at CBS will discuss this question. Niels Thygesen will argue that the value of this kind of company should be understood from a gift economy perspective rather than a financial economy perspective.
