Ghemawat previously served on the faculty of Harvard Business School, where he was the youngest person ever appointed a full professorship. [1]

Early life and education

Born in India, Ghemawat spent parts of his childhood in India and in Indiana, where the family lived while his father pursued a PhD at Purdue University. [2] Sanjay Ghemawat is his younger brother.[ citation needed ]

Ghemawat received his bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and his Ph.D. in business economics from Harvard University.

Career and research

Ghemawat has devoted much of his career to studying globalization and its effects on national economies. In 2011 he introduced the DHL Global Connectedness Index, which emphasizes analysis of hard data to measure the global connectedness of countries around the world. [4]

Key ideas of his work include:

Much of Ghemawat's work serves as a counterpoint to journalist Thomas Friedman’s contention in his book The World is Flat that globalization is a fast-growing and dominant force in the 21st century economy. In 2009 Ghemawat published the article Why the World Isn’t Flat in Foreign Policy. [5] In 2012 Ghemawat gave a TED talk entitled Actually, the World Isn’t Flat. [6] In these and other works, Ghemawat cited the measures of global connectedness compiled in his research to show that globalization is less widespread than generally thought. He has revived the term "globaloney", coined in the 1940s by Clare Boothe Luce, to refer to these misconceptions. [7]

Beginning in 2016 Ghemawat has turned his attention to the effects of isolationist and nationalist movements such as the United Kingdom's Brexit vote and the policies of President Donald Trump on trade, globalization, and economic growth. [8] [9] [10]

Pankaj Ghemawat's books include Commitment (Free Press, 1991), Games Businesses Play (MIT Press, 1998), Strategy and the Business Landscape (Pearson Prentice Hall, 3rd edition, 2009), the award-winning Redefining Global Strategy (Harvard Business School Press, 2007), and World 3.0 Global Prosperity And How To Achieve It (Harvard Business Press, 2011), which continues to receive international acclaim.

Ghemawat is also a prolific case writer and have featured among the top 40 case authors consistently, since the list was first published in 2016 by The Case Centre. He ranked 24th In 2018/19, [11] 25th in 2017/18, [12] 14th in 2016/17 [13] and 15th in 2015/16. [14]
