Vijay Govindarajan, the Earl C. Daum 1924 Professor of International Business at the Tuck School of Business, is No. 5 on the Thinkers50 list of the most influential business thinkers in the world, reports Forbes. Ranked No. 10 on the list is Marshall Goldsmith, an adjunct professor of business administration at Tuck.
Govindarajan “coined the phrase ‘reverse innovation’ to describe products and services designed for emerging markets that are then exported into western economies,” writes Forbes. Goldsmith is the “pioneer of the 360-degree feedback approach,” and author or co-author of more than 30 books, the magazine notes.
