Is Edith Penrose today more relevant than ever?
Professor Chris Pitelis will deliver this year’s Penrose Public Lectures at SOAS University of London.
📅 Tuesday 28 & Wednesday 29 April, 2026
🕕 6:00pm BST
📍 Senate House Alumni Lecture Theatre
Under the theme “The garden of Edith seventy years after: Penrose and the organisational market economy,” the lectures will explore:
• The firm, organisational economics, strategy, and entrepreneurial management
• Middle East oil, multinational–state relations, and public policy for sustainable development
These and other topics addressed by Penrose remain as relevant today as ever—at the heart of current socioeconomic and geopolitical challenges and opportunities.
All those with an interest in these topics are warmly welcome.
