MIT Sloan Management Review

MIT Sloan School of Management recently held a two-day executive education course, Big Data: Making Complex Things Simpler, designed to provide organizations with both an overview of big data and a few techniques to harness some of the illusive power of data.

But in all the discussions that surfaced around the big issues from big data, the reality that many organizations grapple with is change management.

We at MIT Sloan Management Review  were saddened to learn of the recent death of influential management thinker C.K. Prahalad, a professor at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan and the author of well-known management books such as "The Fortune at The Bottom of the Pyramid."

C.K. Prahalad thinks we are entering a period where a key challenge is managing volatility and discontinuities.

Here’s an interesting idea: Now may be an opportune time to perform repair work within your organization.

“In an unpredictable world, trying to be right can lead managers terribly astray.” So write Rita Gunther McGrath and Ian C. MacMillan in their new article in MIT Sloan Management Review.

“Traditional thinking about strategy is woefully incomplete,” according to the authors of an article in the current issue of MIT Sloan Management Review.
