Can Berkshire Hathaway survive beyond Warren Buffett? Lawrence Cunningham shares his insight at free lecture at the University of Delaware

Best-selling author of books about Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway Lawrence Cunningham will visit the University of Delaware in Newark on September 23, 2014, to discuss his upcoming book, Berkshire Beyond Buffett: The Enduring Value of Values.

Berkshire Hathaway, the $300 billion conglomerate that Warren Buffett built, is among the world’s largest and most famous corporations. Many assume it cannot survive without Buffett. Lawrence Cunningham’s book, Berkshire Beyond Buffett: The Enduring Value of Values, scheduled for release in October 2014, proves that assumption wrong.

Who/What: Lecture, Q&A and book signing with Lawrence Cunningham, author of the classic best-seller, The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America, and the upcoming Berkshire Beyond Buffett: The Enduring Values.

When: Tuesday September 23, 7:00 pm

Where: University of Delaware, Purnell Hall 115

Cost: Free!

The event will begin at 7:00 pm in Purnell Hall 115 and is open to the public. Admission is free.

Cunningham, who Buffett chose in 1997 to edit and publish the international best-seller, The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America, will explain what makes Berkshire Hathaway distinctive and how its special culture is a surprising but integral part of succession planning at the company personified by the legendary billionaire.

The lecture is part of the University’s Chaplin Tyler Executive Leadership Series and kicks off a 15-city book tour for Cunningham about Berkshire Beyond Buffett. Cunningham said:

“I’m delighted to launch this new book at my alma mater and grateful for the opportunity to share what we can learn from Berkshire Hathaway with the greater Delaware community.”
