Professor Ghoshal taught a course on Leadership and Change Management at the ISB, besides teaching on the School's Executive Education programmes. He was the Robert P. Bauman Professor of Strategic Leadership at the London School of Business, and was recently appointed a Fellow of the Advanced Institute of Management Research.

He was a charismatic and inspiring speaker, awing his audience with his razor-sharp intellect. Says Mithun Ghosh, a student of ISB's Founding Class, and now Senior Manager, Standard Chartered Bank, "It was always dynamite being in the classroom with Professor Ghoshal the power of his thought was tangible and infectious."

Professor Ghoshal had published 10 books, over 70 articles and several award-winning case studies. His book, Managing Across Borders: The Transnational Solution, has been listed in the Financial Times as one of the 50 most influential management books.
