His “Laboratory on Entrepreneurial Management” or LEM course is immensely popular among IIMA students and each year, there is intense bidding by the 2-year MBA folks [...]

If there was one article that most business graduate remembers having read, it is an article penned by Prof. Theodore Levitt, Marketing Myopia. First printed in Jul/Aug 1960 – yes 50 years ago; Prof Levitt’s work still stands the test of time – call it prescience, genius, or the result of plain uncommon common sense. [...]
