Oct 25, 2006 :: Are Indians world’s business gurus?
It would seem the world’s business education is being deeply influenced by Indians and their outlook. About 10% of professors at Harvard Business School, Kellog’s, and Michigan’s Ross School are of Indian descent. C K Prahlad, Ram Charan, Dipak Jain and Vijay Govindarajan are but a few of the many prominent business teachers and consultants. It was inevitable perhaps, that the Bhagavad Gita is replacing the thus far fashionable Chinese classic ‘Art of War’.
Where aggressive moves in business were earlier taught, Indian gurus -and, American ones- are now teaching selfless, unemotional, fearless commitment to duty and the larger good.
