Global Matters: Redefining Global Strategy
3:30-5:00 p.m. Lecture and Q & A
5:00-6:00 p.m. reception
Operating a global business can be complex and challenging, partly because cross border differences are larger than we often assume. Understanding the differences between countries is critical to developing strategies that work better than the usual approach of assuming that what worked at home will also work overseas. Professor Ghemawat will provide practical management tools that can help businesses derive value from their cross-border operations.
About the speaker
Pankaj Ghemawat is Professor of Global Management and Director of the Center for the Globalization of Education and Management at the NYU Stern, and the Anselmo Rubiralta Professor of Global Strategy at IESE Business School. Between 1983 and 2008, he was on the faculty at the Harvard Business School where, in 1991, he became the youngest person in the school's history to be appointed a full professor. Ghemawat is also the youngest "guru" included in the guide to the greatest management thinkers of all time published in 2008 by The Economist. Other recent honors include the McKinsey Award for the best article published in the Harvard Business Review and the Irwin Educator of the Year award from the Academy of Management.
Ghemawat is a specialist on globalization and strategy and emerging markets as well as having done foundational work on sustainable competitive advantage, competitive dynamics and strategic investment. His latest book World 3.0 (Harvard Business Review Press, 2011) should, according to The Economist, "Be read by anyone who wants to understand the most important economic development of our time." It won the Thinkers50 award for the best business book published in 2010-2011. He is currently working on a book on globalization and culture.
