C. K. Prahalad (1941–2010), originator of the core competency concept, ranked first among influential modern business gurus on Stuart Crainer's and Des Dearlove's biennial Thinkers50 list, in 2009.[1]
A business guru is a manager that can be defined as 'a person with influential ideas or theories about business'. The earliest use of the term business guru can be tracked back to the 1960s being used in Business Week.[2] There are no existing qualifications that make someone a business guru. Anyone can become a business guru by making impact in a particular industry. It's also possible to claim to be a business guru at any time. It's not a title. The lists of people who have been accepted as business gurus have constantly changed over time.[3] However, there are some people who have been accepted by a great majority as a business guru and also some organizations which have created their own lists of gurus. One English[4] writer has described management gurus as "overwhelmingly a US phenomenon."[5]
