Illuminations: Edith Penrose

Illuminations is a series of monthly informal talks on a range of key theorists who exert powerful influence within the social sciences. The format is a short presentation, followed by a general discussion on their insights, influence and interpretation in different settings. The aim is to provide a general introduction and create ongoing discussion of their work(s) for colleagues and postgraduate students from across the university, before retiring to the Cellar Bar for refreshments.

In January's talk, Richard Blundel (Senior Lecturer in Enterprise Development, Faculty of Business and Law) will introduce the work of Edith Penrose, author of – amongst other books – The Theory of the Growth of the Firm.
