C. K. Prahalad, 阿一鮑魚真相, 日本首相鳩山由紀夫

*****
年多前﹐日本首相鳩山由紀夫贏得歷史性大選勝利﹐宣告新的執政黨上台﹐但是目前鳩山由紀夫的公眾支持率僅為25%﹐因為在具有爭議性的美軍基地重新選址和其他問題方面﹐他的處理方式飄忽不定﹐令許多支持者對他的領導能力產生質疑。《朝日新聞》(Asahi Shimbun)上週末期間舉行的調查顯示﹐鳩山由紀夫領導的內閣的支持率降至新低(25%)﹐今年3月份和去年9月份新政府就職時的支持率則分別為 32%和71%﹐因為當時民眾滿懷憧憬﹐認為他擊敗長期執政的自民黨上台後能夠對政府進行徹底改組。


《每日新聞》進行的調查也顯示﹐日本內閣的支持率已經大幅下跌﹐由1個月前的43%降至33%。該報未披露其調查的誤差範圍。

C. K. Prahalad

Writings, interests, and business experience

C. K. Prahalad is the author of a number of well known works in corporate strategy including The Core Competence of the Corporation (Harvard Business Review, May–June, 1990). He authored several international bestsellers, including: "Competing for the Future"(with Gary Hamel), 1994, "The Future of Competition," (with Venkat Ramaswamy), 2004 and "The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid: Eradicating Poverty through Profits," Wharton School Publishing, 2004. His new book with co-author M. S. Krishnan is called The New Age of Innovation.

He was co-founder and became CEO of Praja Inc ("Praja" from a Sanskrit word "Praja" which means "citizen" or "common people"). The goals of the company ranged from allowing common people to access information without restriction (this theme is related to the "bottom of pyramid" or BOP philosophy) to providing a testbed for various management ideas. The company eventually laid off 1/3rd of its workforce and was sold to TIBCO. At the time of his passing he was still on the board of TiE, The Indus Entrepreneurs.

Prahalad has been among top ten management thinkers in every major survey for over ten years. Business Week said of him: "a brilliant teacher at the University of Michigan, he may well be the most influential thinker on business strategy today." He was a member of the Blue Ribbon Commission of the United Nations on Private Sector and Development. He was the first recipient of the Lal Bahadur Shastri Award for contributions to Management and Public Administration presented by the President of India in 2000.

Washington, DC: Globally renowned management guru CK Prahalad passed away today after a brief illness at a San Diego hospital, family sources said.

Prahalad, 69, is survived by his wife, a son, and a daughter.

He was a professor of corporate strategy at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, and was well known for writing best-sellers on management subjects, including The Fortune At The Bottom Of The Pyramid: Eradicating Poverty Through Profit.

Hailing from the textile city of Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu, Prahalad did his graduation in science from the Loyola College in Madras and his MBA from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad.

After getting his doctorate from Harvard Business School, Prahalad, who became a reputed corporate thinker, was associated with the University of Michigan.

He was on the board of several top Indian and global companies and institutions like Hindustan Unilever, The Indus Entrepreneurs, and the Washington-based World Resources Institute.

Among Prahalad's popular management and business books were The Future Of Competition: Co-Creating Value With Customers and 'The Multinational Mission, Balancing Global Integration With Local Responsiveness.

His book on the bottom of the pyramid, however, remains the most talked about and is considered relevant for developing economies like India, where businesses have a long way to go before they touch people at the lower end of the economic and social strata.

Condoling his death, Indian industry paid rich tributes to the decorated management professor.

"We have lost an outstanding management guru, a visionary, a great soul who was highly committed to contributing towards India's growth and development," Confederation of Indian Industry director-general Chandrajit Banerjee said in a statement.
