MYRA School of Business, Mysore in collaboration with Harvard Business Review Press is organizing an Executive Master Class with Prof. Vijay Govindarajan, Coxe Distinguished Professor at Tuck at Dartmouth, USA, & Marvin Bower Fellow at Harvard Business School, USA on January 30th, 2016 at the MYRA campus, exclusively for applicants to MYRA School of Business.

Student’s applying to MYRA School of Business, either for the One Year Full Time PGPX Program or the AICTE Approved 2 year PGDM by January 26, 2016 stand a chance to win a seat and an all paid trip to Mysore for the prestigious lecture.

The Master Class is based on VG’s forthcoming book – Three Box Solution: A Strategy for Leading Innovation, HBR Press, which is set for release in April 2016.

Dr. Vijay Govindarajan, known as VG, is an expert on strategy and innovation and New York Times and Wall Street Journal’s bestselling author.

As the first Professor in Residence and Chief Innovation Consultant at General Electric, he worked with GE’s CEO Jeff Immelt to write “How GE is Disrupting Itself,” the Harvard Business Review (HBR) article that pioneered the concept of reverse innovation.

Prior to joining the faculty at Tuck, VG was on the faculties of Harvard Business School, INSEAD, and the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad.

VG has worked with CEOs and top management teams in more than 25% of the Fortune 500 firms such as Boeing, Coca-Cola, Colgate, Deere, FedEx, GE, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, J.P. Morgan Chase, J&J, New York Times, P&G, Sony, Wal-Mart and others.

VG received his MBA and PhD from the Harvard Business School.

Businessweek rated him as a “Top Ten Professor in Corporate Executive Education” and has included him in their list of “Outstanding Faculty” in their guide to the best business school for six different years. CNN money listed him as one of the “top-ten business school professors in the world” in their 2012 ranking. Dr. Govindarajan has been rated as a top fifty management thinker by the London Times and was rated as the number three management guru in the world by Thinkers50 in 2011.

Dr. Govindarajan will address the audience on ‘Three-Box Solution: Strategy for Leading Innovation”.

The Three-Box Solution describes the framework for managing a business’s responsibility to take action in three time horizons at once: executing the present core business at peak efficiency (Box 1); taking steps to avoid the inhibiting traps of past success (Box 2); and innovating a future built on nonlinear ideas (Box 3).

This Master Class presents the inter-relationship between the three boxes, the skills required to create each box and balancing between the three boxes and answer the critical question: How to successfully create the future even while managing excellence in the present?
