CPR Essay Prize
Ideas from young thinkers on the nexus of business and politics
In 2024, we launched the first CPR Essay Prize, inviting submissions from students all around the globe. We aim to encourage young academics to judge independently, give actionable advice for decision makers and explore fresh ideas about the relationship between business and politics.
The question for the Essay Prize 2024 was:
The CEO of the future must enter the political arena. Do you agree ?
