How do firms and public institutions regain greatness while wrestling with risk, disruption, and their responsibilities to investors, employees, and the public? When businesses and other organizations pursue their strategies, they inevitably run into ethical boundaries that don’t neatly align with their goals. On the Cusp: Between Strategy and Ethics is about what happens in that zone of collision where executives, policymakers, and citizens must decide whether to stretch the rules, redraw them, or change course altogether. Each episode takes up a concrete case, from shareholder primacy to AI, finance, and democratic accountability, asking a simple but uncomfortable question: what do “great” organizations owe the societies that can make their success more possible?
On the Cusp is hosted by Alfred Marcus, Professor at the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota. He has published several books including Comeback: Can Great Companies Rise Again? and Managing Business Ethics co-authored with Tim Hargrave. He has spent much of his career on the cusp between strategy and ethics and hopes to understand that fault line far better through this podcast series.
