โฆ Synopsis
83, known affectionately as the father of strategic management, died of complications from pneumonia in San Diego, California, on 14 July 2002.
Following a career that took him all round the world, he taught for 17 years at the US International University in San Diego before retiring two years ago as a Distinguished Professor Emeritus. Known for coining the term 'strategic management', he was acclaimed for his management theories. An applied mathematician, he shifted his emphasis in the 1950s while employed by the Rand Corporation. In 1956, he was employed as planning specialist for Lockheed Aircraft Corporation where he gained practical experience in analysing the complexities of a business environment. At Lockheed he became Vice President of Planning and Director of Diversification.
