Workshops - GROE
Internationally recognised workshops are regularly held by the Group for Research in Organisational Evolution.
Evolutionary Thinking and its Policy Implications for Modern Capitalism
Our international workshop was held on 22-23 September 2011 at Offley Place in Hertfordshire.
The workshop was designed to provide in-depth discussion of cutting-edge issues in a forum that permits the attention to detail and definition that is often lacking in larger, conference-style events.

- Howard Aldrich (University of North Carolina, USA) ‘Explaining the emergence of routines in new ventures: selection and learning’
- Eric Beinhocker (McKinsey Global Institute, USA) ‘Beyond left versus right: evolutionary economics and the future of policy and politics’
- Geoff Hodgson (University of Hertfordshire, UK) ‘The evolution of morality and the end of economic man’
- Stan Metcalfe (Emeritus, University of Manchester, UK) ‘Capitalism and evolution’
