The Life’s Work of a Thought Leader – CK Prahalad
30 seconds on… CK Prahalad (1941-2010), Marketing, 6/30/2010, p15-15, 1/5p;
- CK Prahalad, who died in April, was one of the world’s most dominant and successful management thinkers.
- As professor of strategy at the University of Michigan, Prahalad roamed the world, challenging managers to shake themselves free of their ‘dominant logic’.
- In 1990, he and Gary Hamel published their seminal CK Prahalad, article, ‘The core competence of the corporation’, leading to a fundamental and lasting change in corporate approaches to strategy.
- Prahalad was born in Tamil Nadu, India. Extensive research in his homeland provided the basis for his multiaward-winning 2004 book. The forfune ai the Bottom of the Pyramid, a treatise on innovating for the world’s poorest population.
- Prahalad’s last column for Harvard Business Review, published in the month he died, urged managers to spend less time studying the best practice of competitors and more time focusing on ’next practices’ – imagining the future and identifying the next big opportunities.
