The Corporation In The 21st Century by John Kay
Why everything we are told about business is wrong
The book explains how corporations have shifted from factory-based, capital-owned production to firms where knowledge, services and workers (often working remotely) are the core of value creation. It argues that ownership of physical assets matters less than managerial authority and specialized capital services, and discusses the social and economic consequences of that shift — illustrated with examples from industries such as pharmaceuticals and e-commerce. Kay also explores why consumers can admire products while distrusting the companies that produce them.
