SME Strategy: 'why most best practices are quietly killing the companies that follow them'

Eric joins SME Strategy for a 30-minute conversation arguing that the governance 'best practices' taught as inevitable natural laws of capitalism are value-destroying — and that the academic evidence says so.

“How many of today's governance best practices — the things that we're all taught are like inevitable natural laws of capitalism, things that we have to do in a market economy to be efficient or whatever — are actually value destroying. And I say that not lightly, not as a rhetorical move, but like we have extensive academic evidence that these practices are inferior.” — Eric Ries on SME Strategy podcast (YouTube)
