Summary: Guest: Kellie A. McElhaney Title: Author and John C. Whitehead Faculty Fellow in Corporate Responsibility, Faculty Director, Center for Responsible Business Berkeley-Haas, University of California, Berkeley Guest: Tim Mohin Title: Director, Corporate Responsibility at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) A business is NOT just in business to make money.

What choices will shake up the institutions and strive not just for higher profits but a better tomorrow?
