UM: C.K. Prahalad

By

Several media outlets are reporting the death of management guru and UM business school professor C.K. Prahalad. Writing in Forbes India, columnist Neelima Mahajan-Bansal recalls past interviews with Prahalad. “As the news of his death broke on Twitter, I felt a little strange. It couldn’t be true. I just had to confirm this somehow. After thinking about it for a while, I finally called – for one last time – on his now-familiar cell phone number. His wife took the call and confirmed that he really is no more. It feels a little strange to think that he is gone. … I feel a little sad as I look at a copy of his last book – with a note he specially wrote for me.” [Source]
