Q.
Can anyone explain to me. How can CK Prahlad be the foremost thinker ahead of Bill Gates and others. Gates built one of the world's biggest companies and is helping "poor" people through his foundation. CK runs around talking about helping the "poor" and hasnt' built anything to show for. His one big grand venture, praja.com, was a miserable failure; it was dead on arrival. Is this guy just another GAS BAG who runs around trying to fix people's ego, in the process of fixing his own?

Thinkers, researchers or scientists are always seen with much more respect than any industrialist. These fellows may not prove to be a good businessmen but they have much wider persepective tahn wnay industrialist. Their expertise are always in demand by the industrial groups. As I undersatnd, C.K. Prahalasd is a consultant of many top US companies like AT&T, Cargill, Citicorp, Oracle, TRW and Unilever. He 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 is also an author of the international bestsellers "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," Thinkers like Mr. Prahlad are the originals in their thinking and their focus is all around.
