Adieu CK Prahalad...

Coimbatore Krishnarao Prahalad…CK to his loved ones…more famously CK Prahalad…is no more. I was one of his many admirers. One of the foremost thinkers in strategy and management donned many hats. He consulted Philips, AT&T, and Sony to name a few. He is the father of Core competence—a concept which finds its relevance everywhere, Bottom of Pyramid—once again a game changing concept to tap the market at the bottom level and many more modern management concepts. Unlike many other thinkers he was the one who firmly believed that globalization is actually bad for the poor of the world.

Rest in peace Prahalad Sir…May the almighty give all the strength to the family of Prahalad sir to see through this crisis.
