Pankaj Ghemawat Biography
Pankaj Ghemawat’s research and keynote speaking focuses on globalisation and strategy. He has written over 50 articles and case studies on these subjects. He has been Professor at the Harvard Business School for 25 years, he currently lectures at the Anselmo Rubiralta Centre for Globalisation and Strategy at IESE Business School. His paper, “Regional Strategies for Global Leadership”, published in the Harvard Business Review in 2005, was awarded the McKinsey prize for the best article.
Publications on Strategy, Economics and Globilisation
Other recent publications include: “Managing Differences: The Central Challenge in Global Strategy” (Harvard Business Review) and “Why the World Isn’t Flat” (Foreign Policy). Pankaj also keeps a blog on global strategy for Harvard Business Online titled “What in the World”.
In September 2007, Harvard Business School Press published, “Redefining Global Strategy”, which synthesises and builds on Pankaj Ghemawat’s work on this subject. This book is a strategic guide for leaders in the 21st century who manage globally integrated entities. It offers a pragmatic and revealing approach: it builds on the historical paths of globalisation but takes into account the real decisions business leaders must make on a daily basis. Other works include: “Commitment”, “Games Businesses Play” or “Strategy and the Business Landscape”. Furthermore, Pankaj is editor at the strategy department at “Management Science”, as well as other publications.

- How to analyse short and long-term competitive positions implied by a particular strategic option.
- How to assess the sustainability of higher competitive positions.
- How to manage the flexibility attained through a particular decision when facing future uncertainties.
- How to deal with honest mistakes and deliberate distortions in the decision-making process
In 2007, Pankaj Ghemawat was elected a member of the Academy of International Business. In August 2008, the California Management Academy presented him with the Irwin Outstanding Educator Award, becoming the first lecturer at a European business school to ever obtain this prize. In October that same year he became a member of the Strategic Management Society. Also in 2008, he received the IESE and BBVA Foundation’s “Economics for Management” award.
Pankaj Ghemawat holds a BSc in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University, where he also gained his PhD in Business Economics. He later worked as an advisor at the London firm McKinsey & Company. In 1983 he joined the teaching staff at Harvard Business School where, in 1991, he became the youngest academic in the faculty’s history to become a full-professor.
