Fifty years ago, in 1974, CK Prahalad, then a doctoral student at Harvard Business School, engaged in the first significant process study of the management of strategic redirection in MNCs. Since then, starting with Yves Doz, there has been significant process research in IB on the management of multinational companies. During those decades qualitative process research methods on organizations have been developed, formalized and applied but seldom specifically on multinational management.
The objective of this panel is to review and provide a perspective both on the work of CK Prahalad, as a precursor whose contributions opened the way for further research and on the current status and relevance of management process research in researching multinationals today.
