Newswise — We have an expert available to talk about Steve Jobs, corporate leaders and memorialisation.
- How does the mourning and memorialisation of Steve Jobs reflect the significance of consumer belief for uber-brands like Apple in our daily lives? - What does the sense of collective loss, and the spontaneous appearance of ‘shrines’ in public places, tell us about the changing nature of mourning practices in the 21st Century?- To what extent is the identity of corporate and organisation leaders now invested with a ‘sacred meaning’ that echo quasi-religious values and loyalty.
Dr Scott Taylor, from the University of Birmingham, UK is available to talk about the new film, and answer the questions above.
Dr Talyor is a Reader in Leadership & Organization Studiesin The Department of Entrepreneurship & Local Economy.
